NSNBOTWs – 2 Gals From Down Under

 33 Comments on NSNBOTWs – 2 Gals From Down Under 0 906

As I mentioned earlier, for my New Blog Of The Week (NBOTW) series, I”ll be including some older blogs, as well.

In this edition of (Not so) New Blogs Of The Week, I’ve chosen two fabulous blogs written by women who live in Australia.


In no particular order, the first is named She-Power and is written by Kelly Rigby.

To explain what She-Power is all about, let’s listen to Kelly.

SHE-POWER is about You, Me, Us. It’s about Life and how we can get more out of it. It’s about MAKING CHOICES that honor who we are and everything we deserve. It’s about celebrating our successes, finding our path, staying inspired for tomorrow, and enjoying the ride along the way.

If you land on her blog, you’ll find links to posts such as:
How To Be A Babe At Any Age
Why Blogging Is Like Backpacking
Has Photo Retouching Gone Too Far?

Kelly writes from her heart. She shares her fears, her joys, her travels and her wishes for a better world.

The second gal from Australia is Robin Birch and her blog is named Let’s Live Forever.

To describe what her blog is about, I will quote her, as well.

This blog is about the idea we can live forever if we want to. It’s also for exploring whether we want to. If we find ourselves thinking we don’t want to live forever, for this or that reason, we can be sure those thoughts are the ones holding us back in life.

Some of the posts you’ll find on Robin’s blog are:
Feelings Are There To Be Felt
Think And It Shall Be So
The Money-Go-Round

Robin admits she doesn’t always write about mainstream issues, but what is great about her work is she digs deep and shares her views on topics we normally wouldn’t read about

Join me in re-welcoming Kelly and Robin to the BWAB community.

Welcome Kelly and Robin!

Enjoy your reign.

You’re tiaras are in the mail. 🙂

  2. I’ve come across both Kelly and Robin on Stumbleupon and I like both of their blogs, Barbara.

    I need to have a more thorough rummage around both of them so thank you for highlighting them again 😉

  3. Barbara, yippee I made it! Very happy to be showcased as a ‘Not So New Blog of the Week’ and especially glad to be showcased in such esteemed Aussie company. Robin is an excellent writer who always gets me thinking and her blog is quite unique in the blogasphere.

    Congratulations to Robin, and thanks again.

    I always love a tiara. Can I have one with pink feathers and diamantes please. I like to stand out from the pack 🙂

  4. Hi Barbara AND Kelly and Robin. These are two excellent blogs. I remember reading Kelly’s post Why Blogging is Like Backpacking. It was excellent. I’ve been following Robin’s blog for a while, but haven’t yet read the posts you have listed. I quite enjoyed her contribution to Blog Action Day, including that short video. I’ve watched it at least a half-dozen times.

  9. Robin and I have been to each other’s site. I love Robin’s perspective – Always a fresh take on life.

    Kelly is new to me, so I went to her site and I really enjoyed her writing style. She isn’t afraid to write to get her point across. A woman after my own heart.

    I’ve found quite a few really graet bloggers from Australia. Must be something in the water.

  18. I’ve met quite a few video bloggers from Australia, but never a blogger. Thanks! I’ll be sure to check these guys out.

  20. My cousin writes about human rights in Australia and introduced me to Robin’s blog before I started blogging and making comments. – Gentle touch

    I have discovered Kelly as she writes such amazing comments on so many BWOB community sites…bold

    Both very nice writers with good thinks to read.

    I think you made some great NSNBOTW choices Barbara – What a G’day….should we throw something on the barbie?

  21. Hi Robin and Kelly – You’re most welcome. I feel so fortunate to have found your blogs and couldn’t help but pass them on to others.

    Kelly – I’ll make sure your tiara is special made just for you – pink feathers and diamantes will abound.

    To all of the other commenters – thank you for supporting my choices. I know you won’t be disappointed with Kelly’s and Robin’s blogs. They rock!

  22. Hi Robin, Kelly, Congrats on a well deserved spot 🙂

  27. Hi Barbara – Kelly and Robin are great choices. I really enjoy reading their blogs.

    Recognising these older bloggers as well as the new ones is a great idea. It’s always nice to hear about new bloggers but folk who have been blogging a while, like Kelly and Robin, do a lot to support many of the newer ones.

  28. Hey Barbara

    Great choices.

    I remember the first time I came across She-Power … I thought I wasn’t supposed to read it since I’m a guy. Then I realized other guys hang there too and we’re more than welcome.

    I might have stumbled upon Let’s Live Forever, but I’m not sure. This time around, I read the About and I think it’s an interesting focus. It reminded me of a few books I had explored – The Immortalist Manifesto and Ancient Secrets of the Fountain of Youth. I was hunting for some simple patterns and practices to help my parents age better.

  29. Two fabulous women bloggers, whose blogs I visit every time they post something, and who I will one day go visit in Australia 🙂

  30. Hi Jeanne – Welcome to the BWAB community. I’m glad you stopped by, as when I was in the process of signing your petition, my computer slowed to a stall. I’ll be to reenter my data.

    Hi Dennis – I started this series in January of 2008. To date I’ve showcased approximately 40+ bloggers. Previous entries can be found in my New Blog Of The Week category.

  31. This is an awesome idea for a series, and I definitely look forward to more.

    Can you point me to where you introduced it?
