If you have a minute to spare this week, I would love to read a quick comment from you, plus I promise to reply back 😀 The first of the month seems a fine time to say, “Hello!” A straight forward hello absolutely works, a quick update about what’s new with you is great, or a link to one of your posts is fab. Or here are a few questions to get your neurons firing this cool, crisp day.
What’s your favorite color? Do you wear this color often? Is it the color of your eyes? Do you paint your walls this color?
How is life treating you? Are you enjoying a nice patch? Or a rough patch?
How is your blogging? What blogs are you reading? What is your next social media goal?
This roll call is also an effort to find, keep, and introduce followers to each other by providing a doable, encouraging, and engaging blog environment. (For a thought-provoking take on “Followers vs. Readers” check out LindaGHill Life in Progress. Thank you, Linda!)
A warm welcome to new followers. To all, thanks a bunch for your follow, likes, and comments! I never take you or your valuable time for granted.
Wishing you a noble and noteworthy November ❤ ~~~~~~~~ Angie Mc

Hi Linda! Great idea ! Your blog for me is a cheerful place rather like the person I think you are ?! We write what we are, I suppose.
My blog is slowly picking up at voicenviews.wordpress.com
Not yet going the way I want it to. Feedback would be nice 🙂

Hello VV! Thank you for commenting and for your feedback. I do value and strive for cheerfulness and being approachable. While I never want to deny that hardship and suffering are real, kindness and caring can help and heal.
I remember when we first met! Your desire to free your voice touched me. I, too, want to have a very free voice in life and on my blog. Part of the challenge for me and blogging is that my voice gets tangled up with my limited writing skill! None the less, I continue to try, work hard, and just enjoy communicating and connecting to the best of my ability.
Your blog is beautiful! It is warm and cozy, and invitation to your part of the world, India. Your words are very thoughtful, kind, clear. I wish you every success! Keep up the good effort ❤

Hello! My favorite color is a deep, dark puce. I do wear it whenever I can. I have painted walls in my house various shades of green but I have never worked up enough courage to paint them puce! 🙂

Good morning, Angie and happy Nov. You have thought provoking questions lined up for us. You know, favorite color may be the hardest of all. My favorite color has always been what provides me the most mental comfort at any given time. Fabric choice also has much to do with the color. Because of my career, I always dressed in a black/grey/navy tailored suit but that didn’t stop me from softening the look with an ecru silk blouse, a Jessica Mclintock lacy number, etc. I know this isn’t answering your question directly but I’m more into a total look vs a specific color. I have my office painted a pale blue and textured with gauze to make it feel like I’m in the clouds whenever I’m in my office.
Life has been tossing me a few new challenges but all in all life is grand. My gardens are exquisite and I race the clock to have everything ready for winter. Interesting contract work is coming my way and that provides me the luxury of picking and choosing.
I read and comment on around 200 blogs a week and am trying to carve out more time for Twitter. Facebook is a time waste for me, with the exception of keeping up with my best friend of first grade.

Angie, I positively adore your site. I’m also not as active on Twitter as I used to be but I try to make sure I maintain a presence as much as possible. I often leave a long comment on WordPress. That’s my style. I can always trim the words down if you prefer a briefer comment. I’m always trying to engage my readers in conversation and for the most part it works. I do a lot of promotion of blogs on Twitter. Hashtags that work for my blogs include #Mentalhealth #Military #Healthcare #Veterans and so on. Thanks for the offer. You are jewel. Sheri

Hi Angie, my favourite colour is blue and yes I wear it a lot, though not all the time. I did paint one wall in my new bedroom a shade of blue which I like a lot.
I am well and will soon in a few days head off on my first OS trip to Japan. An exciting time for me.
I love blogging especially the prompts which I see as intellectually challenging such as any prompt that appears on mindlovemisery’s menagerie. Each week she and her team set a series of challenges which allow me to exercise my creativity.

My favorite color is blue as well. Great taste 😀 Thanks for the lead to mindlovemisery’s menagerie, I’ll check it out. I’ve been exercising my creativity at the natural prompting of my 15 year old son. Because he has so many cool projects going at once, he brings me into them and inspires me with the process and product of his work. I really need such prompting because I tend to be too, too distracted with all things practical.
Will you be posting about your trip at your blog? I sure hope so 😀

Favorite color: Robin’s Egg Blue. Yes, it’s on my walls in a couple of places, but mostly in accents around the house. 🙂 Second favorite: coral. Not on walls but wear it all the time!
Life is great! I dare not complain about a thing! I’m too blessed and always grateful! Although…I do need to get some wine chilling!!! Priorities, Jen!!
I blog without pressure! 🙂 So…when life is full…and it is right now…blogging takes a back seat. I do really enjoy writing and sharing on my blog so when I have to be more faithful to my duties around here I’m excited when I can return to it.
I’m not reading or doing much social-media wise right now. And…yep…totally fine with that! 🙂 I AM looking forward to being a little more active with social media though. When time allows. 🙂

Hello Angie! I love this idea of interactive blogging and I am so grateful you are promoting it. Let’s see, my favorite color varies from day to day but blue and purple always make me feel happy and calm. Not in dark or soft shades but so,we here right in the middle. My walls are neutral but again I prefer them that way because I love to accent with leopard print furniture and hues of brown, black and beige. Life is great right now. I have found balance and I am grateful for the depth that brings to each and every day. Happy November 🙂

My blogging is progressing as I want it to – steadily adding readers everyday. My work has also led to paid opportunities for writing articles for online sources.

Jovina, your blog is extraordinary. As I’ve mentioned to you before, the sheer amount of awesome that you pack into a post is an inspiration. When I first started my blog a year ago, I wanted to keep posts short and sweet. Now, I’m considering doing one lengthier post a month or so, and that’s because of your example and other bloggers who do it right. I plan to start in January!
Congrats on the paid work and your success! Well-earned! Oh, and purple fits you perfectly 😀

Hello, Angie. Life is good here in the Northlands. I’ve chosen to clear the decks for more fiction writing this month. (We’ll host only immediate family for Thanksgiving this year, for example.) And I’ve set a writing word goal for myself. I’m thinking about adding a plug-in word counter on the blog to keep myself honest, too. This is, of course, a bit of departure from the normal garden flavor of my blog, but change is good . . . right?
