“If you would not be forgotten as soon as you’re dead and rotten either write things worth reading or do things worth writing.” – Benjamin Franklin
When I started blogging, I wanted to outline my EzGreatlife concept. But, like many, when I first started, I had no readers. I figured there was no point in taking the time to explain my concept with no one to appreciate it. Since then, I have grown and my audience has developed. I would like to take a moment and describe to you my original concept for EzGreatLife.
My intent was to create a site about living the good life, becoming physically fit, financially secure and developing better relationships with friends and family. It is as much a therapeutic learning experience for me, as hopefully it is informative to you. By no means have I ever wanted to imply that my life is perfect or great. Like most people I have many areas in need of improvement. I am trying to make my life better everyday for me and my family. I am on a journey of self improvement. My goal is to share what I have learned.
That is where I am coming from. I hope you find my ramblings interesting and helpful. I really appreciate your daily visits and comments. If you have never commented, please do! And one last thing, I would really like to see more of an interaction between you guys. I have an extremely intelligent group of readers! I think we could have some awesome discussion, if we comment on others comments! That’s what I want, I community of like minded individuals, working on attaining a better life!
A large part of my journey is spent visiting other blogs. I learn so much from others! Here are some sites that I frequent, learn from and think you will find interesting:
- Sogeshirts Blog
- Health Nut Wannabee Mom
- My Life as it Was, Is, and Will Be
- The Get Smart Blog
- Security for Idiots and Other People That Care
- Stay At Home Mom

Hey John thanks for the shout out. Your blog is pretty clearly defined if you ask me. Funny that I left you a shout out today before even reading this.

Hey John, I like the post. I am a beginner at this blogging, and have sat back lurking for a while. Recently I started getting involved, and commenting on blogs. I enjoy your blog, and like that you are encouraging a “reader community”. Maybe it will get more lurkers like me involved. Thanks for all the tips.

Great post! I feel fortunate to have found this blog through MyBlogLog and always take the terrific information to heart. Its always a great read and a worthwhile use of time spent. One thing that draws me the most is your obvious devotion to your family. I didn’t have a participating father and neither have my kids. Its inspiring to see a man who genuinely enjoys being a daddy. You were my first reader
and thank you SO MUCH for including my site in your list. You’re definitely in my list of Top Ten Goodies (when I get around to making that list LOL) I haven’t posted a new goodie in awhile because I found an amazing goodie that has been taking up much of my time but stay tuned, I’ll be back soon. Thanks again John for all you do! Keep up the great work
