7 Link Post

I did a post like this months ago.  I was inspired to do it by Thu Nguyen, of Blogging For dog INFO. She has some great blogging information and help on her site.

The basic concept of a 7 link post is that you create a post with seven links.  The first link is to your very first post, the second link is the post you enjoyed writing the most, the third link is to a post that had a great discussion, the fourth link is to someone else’s blog post that you wish you had written, the fifth link is to your most helpful post, the sixth link is to a post that has a title that you are proud of, the seventh link is to a post you wish more people had read.

I had so much fun the first time I did this, that I thought I would do it again.  If you decide to do you own 7 link post, let me know.  I would love to look at it.

1.  My first post: Depression and Anxiety as Seen Through Glasses In my first post I talk about my glass is half empty view point (which I no longer have). I compare my thinking at the time, to how I would like to view things at some point in my future.  I really like it, because after looking at it again, I realized how far I have come since I wrote it.

2.  The post I most enjoyed writing: Enjoying Retirement I enjoyed writing this post because I love the tongue and cheek way I thought of to write about how I used to excessively worry.  It took a serious subject and poked some fun at it.

3.  A post which had a great discussion: Are You The Victim Or The Victor This is a fairly recent post that a lot of people responded to.  One of my favorite things about it is that it was the first post that the Blog Gang did.

4. A post on someone else’s blog I wish I had written:  Why Don’t More National/International Companies Embrace November As Diabetes Blue? I recently read this post about the stigma associated with Diabetes.  I really recommend it as a good informative piece for anyone.

5.  My most helpful post: Is actually two posts Help With Psychiatric Medications – Part I and Help With Psychiatric Medications – Part II Both of these post contain information on how to obtain free and low cost prescription medications.

6.  A post whose title I am proud of: Too Cool For The Spa This post is about an outing with four generations of women in the family.  Obviously, we were all too cool for the spa!

7.  This is a post I wish more people had read:My Daughter Speaks Out I wish more people had read this because what my daughter had to say about what it has been like living with a mother with a mental illness and who tried to commit suicide is heart rendering and honest. It is an open look into how depression affects our family members.

I read a really fun post and challenge over at Blogging For dot INFO.  The author,Thu Nguyen, posts about how she accepted The 7 Link Challenge and takes the time to explain what it is.

The basic concept is that you create a post with seven links.  The first link is to your very first post, the second link is the post you enjoyed writing the most, the third link is to a post that had a great discussion, the fourth link is to someone else’s blog post that you wish you had written, the fifth link is to your most helpful post, the sixth link is to a post that has a title that you are proud of, the seventh link is to a post you wish more people had read.

I decided to participate in this challenge so here are my seven links…


  1. My first post: Depression and Anxiety as Seen Through Glasses In my first post I talk about my glass is half empty view point (which I no longer have). I compare my thinking at the time, to how I would like to view things at some point in my future.  I really like it, because after looking at it again, I realized how far I have come since I wrote it.
  2. The post I most enjoyed writing: Super Cool Mom! I enjoyed writing this post so much, because it was about a wonderful day I had with my mother.  Looking back at our relationship, I honestly had not ever thought she and I would enjoy spending that much time alone together.  I do now.  Not only did I enjoy that day with her so much, I love the memory that day created.
  3. A post which had a great discussion: The Anonymous Blogger Although this is a fairly recent post, I really enjoyed the comments/conversation that took place on it.
  4. A post on someone else’s blog I wish I had written: Cravings I wish I had written this post.  It talks about food cravings and I like that it is from the perspective of a diabetic.
  5. My most helpful post: What Not To Say To Someone With Depression I think this was probably my most helpful post or one of the most helpful post I have written.  I am basing that purely on the feed back I got for it.
  6. A post whose title I am proud of: The Great Escape! I love the title to this post.  It totally describes what is going on in the post itself, great escape!
  7. This is a post I wish more people had read: Help with Psychiatric Medications, Part I and Part II I had written these two posts because I know many people struggle to pay for their medications.  I had hoped more people would have taken the time to read them, even if they did not need the advice offered in them.  If they had read it they could have passed the information along to someone else.

What 7 Links would you post for the 7 Link Challenge?  I would love to see what other people come up with.
