This blog is an inspirational blog, and the blogger has posted many different blogs on varying topics of calming natures, and furthering yourself as a person. The differing topics range from anything to becoming more productive, to being more imaginative, to getting healthy. The particular blog I chose to focus on was called Happiness is Uncovering What You Already Have. This post describes through a narrative description that the true key to happiness is not hoping for something better, but to just accept and love the situation you currently are in. Not to focus on the ideal self, partner, job, house, but to focus on the greatness of what you already have.
The writer comes across not as an expert on the subject, but someone who has had enough life experience to be sharing their thoughts with others. Leo Babauta is the name of the writer, and he has been a journalist for 18 years. There is a biography on him, which backs up his story and lets us know that this writer is using his real identity.
It seems to me that the reason that Leo is creating this blog is because writing is something he enjoys. It also seems like he wants to share his life experience with others so that they can benefit if they choose to try some of the things he suggests. What gives me the idea that this is the case is the way he writes seem to be of the narrative nature, and based on experiences of his own life. It comes across as a very relaxed and comfortable tone, which sets the reader at ease.
Leo Babauta seems very knowlegable and I see why you chose this blog. His line "Happiness is the uncovering of what you already have" really grabbed my attention. His tone was very relaxed and calm but it was very powerful. Well done!
