Blog Purpose
The purpose for this blog is stated in the title and subtitle. It is intended to offer you Gifts of spiritual, psychological/emotional, physical, familial/domestic, and financial Encouragement that you can unwrap and encourage yourself and others with at any time.
Blog Goal
We all need (more) encouragement in our lives.
We all need to (learn how to) be (more) encouraging of ourselves.
We all need to (learn how to) be (more) encouraging of others.
Thus, the goal for this blog is to use my spiritual gift of encouragement[1], my talent for writing, and my research and written communication skills to follow my bliss[2] or to live my divine purpose in life, which includes holistically encouraging you, helping you to be (more) encouraging of yourself, and helping you to be (more) encouraging of others.
If I am successful in encouraging you to any extent, and if I’m successful in encouraging you to be (more) encouraging of yourself and others in any way, then all Praises Are Due to God! I would have achieved my goal for Gifts of Encouragement!
Blog Schedule
In order to achieve my goal for this blog—offering you Gifts of holistic Encouragement—which I assure you I work very hard to do, I will make no effort whatsoever to keep up with many bloggers who post everyday, all throughout the day, and not necessarily because they have anything worthwhile to share. I have no intention of jumping on this daily blogging bandwagon or of following this type of blogging crowd.
Presently, I am offering Gifts of Encouragement twice a week. There will be one regular length, maybe not so brief post and one brief post called Encouragement Tidbit. (I am also posting resourceful and economical tips once a week at http://ChangeForDollars.info.)
Blog Features
I have made and I will continue to make a sincere and dedicated effort to offer Gifts of Encouragement to everyone, not just to members of a particular ethnicity, faith, creed, ideology, philosophy, profession, gender, age group, et cetera. Also, while everyone may not always value or appreciate my posts, hopefully everyone will always enjoy and benefit from one or more of the following, encouraging blog features (which you can access via the menu to your right):
- the Encourage Yourself YouTube Playlists
- the Encourage Yourself Recommended Books and Products list from Amazon.com
- the All-Purpose Encouragement Quotes

- the sundry Encouraging Scriptural Quotes from both the Bible and Holy Qu’ran
- FREE Encouraging E-books
- My Encouraging E-books to purchase
- The 1st Annual Gifts of Encouragement Writing Contest where you can win $200!

[1] Romans 12:8
[2] “If you do follow your bliss you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while, waiting for you, and the life that you ought to be living is the one you are living. When you can see that, you begin to meet people who are in your field of bliss, and they open doors to you. I say, FOLLOW YOUR BLISS AND DON’T BE AFRAID, AND DOORS WILL OPEN WHERE YOU DIDN’T KNOW THEY WERE GOING TO BE… Wherever you are — if you are following your bliss, you are enjoying that refreshment, that life within you, all the time.” (Joseph Campbell.
