I’m SO excited to introduce the Blog with Heart Award Winners!
Last October, I sought out to find (and honor) 25 fellow bloggers who were showing up bravely on their blogs and sharing from their hearts. I was looking for those special souls who came from an authentic space of love and grace.
I wanted to meet anyone and everyone who was bravely putting their soul into their blog – inspiring others to do the same.
I created the Blog with Heart Award to do exactly that, and I was so happy to see so many blogs get nominated – over 100!
♥ How the Winners Were Chosen
I’ve spent the last couple of weeks looking over each of your blogs and have really enjoyed getting to see the goodness that you’re putting into the world. So much love!
While coming up with the winner definitely wasn’t easy, I did have a formula that I used that made it a little bit easier:
1. 45% – Content – Is it heartfelt, authentic, vulnerable, and loving? Do they give back in any way? Do they express their truth. Do they inspire and uplift?
2. 25% – Nominations – How many votes the blogger receives
3. 15% – Community – How much they interact with their community (through comments, social media, etc.)
4. 15% – Blog ranking – Traffic, Klout score, Alexa ranking, number of comments, subscribers, etc.
(Please know that this is just for fun and to help everyone get some extra traffic and recognition. In my mind, anyone who blogs from their heart is already a winner.)
♥ Here are the top 5 winners for the 2013 Blog with Heart Award!
