Something I struggled with early on in my years of writing was the feeling that I was doing it all alone. And when I did share my work, I’d hear crickets on the other end.

We need others to to help us along the way. One way to create community is to participate in weekly link-ups from other bloggers. This is a great way to have your words read and be encouraged through comments, and for you to do the same for others.

There are so many , but here are just a few of my favorite communities to linkup with:

Monday: Inspire Me Monday

Tuesday: InstaEncouragements, Tell His Story, Anchored Truth Tuesdays

Wednesday: Recharge Wednesday, Let’s Have Coffee

Thursday: Heart Encouragement Thursday

Friday: Five Minute Friday, Embracing the Unexpected, Faith on Fire
