I wish I could remember how I stumbled upon VoiceBoks, so I could thank the person who had this badge on their blog. I know I must have been Blog Hopping for sure. However, thankfully I did and joined this great Community. The group of mostly women and yes even a few Daddy's are gently and graciously guided by the creator of VoiceBoks, Lexie. Besides having a young baby and husband at home, VoiceBoks is her other baby!
She has created a community that embraces the promotion and support of others. Once you join you are greeted immediately by members who make you feel like you are stopping in for a cup of coffee and sitting down at their kitchen table.
We have Blog Hops integrated on the site, wonderful groups that help you gain followers to your blogs utilizing the different forms of Social Media, education and support. Some of the categories that you will find here are Pregnancy, Children, Health, Recipes, Deals and Steals and an organized Directory. The Directory includes Arts and Crafts, Go Green, Parenting, Party Ideas and even Shops, to name just a few.
When I watched this movie "Oh, Thank Goodness, It's Not Just Me!", I thought of this wonderful group and community called VoiceBoks ~The Voice of Motherhood.
Make sure your volume is up, click Play and Enjoy this quick movie!
"No matter what stage of life a woman is in, Oh Thank Goodness It's Not Just Me by Lisa Hammond and BJ Gallagher, shares a message of hope woman to woman and heart-to-heart: You are not alone. The authors encourage women to overcome self-doubt, anxiety and self consciousness by connecting and sharing real-world experiences with each other."
"Oh Thank Goodness It's Not Just Me illustrates the power of sharing stories and celebrates women's interdependence. It taps into the power of connection and community, eliminating the need to be perfect, while giving women the freedom to share their feelings, to forgive both themselves and others and to ask for help. The book allows women to see the possibilities of rebounding and reinventing themselves."
"Oh Thank Goodness It's Not Just Me shows women that they are not alone in their feelings and experiences—that they are free to share who they really are with the world."
To me this book and movie describe exactly what VoiceBoks is all about. Just click either of the VoiceBoks' Badges and come and visit us, you may want to stay awhile!
Lexie Lane and Ro Little have also created WikiMommy! You are welcome to visit this great addition to the VoiceBoks Community and even become a contributor!

What a great post! :) I'm a new VoiceBoks member and I've already seen new followers from it. I actually signed up for it after noticing one of my favorite bloggers had also signed up and her number of followers went through the roof almost overnight. I'm very impressed with the Voiceboks community and experience so far.
ReplyDeleteMany blessings,
Rosann
