A Tribute to My Favorite Hubbers

75

I hesitated about writing this hub. While I want to pay tribute to some of my favorite hubbers, I also don't want to leave anyone out. There are several hubbers I follow and I read their hubs on a regular basis. I wish I had more time to read hubs but my time online is limited.

There are those certain hubbers, though, that I feel a certain connection to, whether its because we share the same beliefs or have had some of the same struggles. And these are the hubbers I wish to pay tribute to. To make it easier, I have tried to separate them into certain categories, which for some was a bit of a struggle since most hubbers tend to write on various topics.

Christianity

There are several hubbers on hubpages who have Biblical worldviews and who are followers of Christ. It is these hubbers who bless me in a special way with their written prayers, testimonies, words of encouragement, their understanding of the word and their strength especially in these difficult times.

Conservative Politics

I learn so much from the conservative hubbers who write about politics. I used to have a job working in a cubicle on a computer all day that allowed me to wear a headset and listen to the radio. I listened to talk radio quite a bit, including Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly and Glen Beck. Since I no longer work, I do not listen to those programs but try to stay up to date with Fox News online. (We don't get the tv channel). But by reading articles by the following hubbers, I have been able to stay informed, not to mention stay mad, at all those left-wing liberals!

Parenting/Special Needs Children

Six years ago I became a mother. One thing I have learned since then is that we moms have to stick together. Then I discovered that my daughter had special needs and realized the importance of communicating with other parents of special needs children and others who work with special needs kids. The following are some of the hubbers who share their expertise and their experiences with all types of children. They have given me knowledge, hope, healing and so much more.

Helpful Hubbers

 Most of the time I find helpful articles by accident. Whether its a hub about google adsense, getting more traffic, creating backlinks or helpful writing tips. Since I find these at random and usually bookmark the hubs, the hubbers in this category are not really consistent. There are a few of them though that I do follow and read on a regular basis.

Great Plains Hubbers

Sometimes I feel a bit lonely here on HubPages being the only hubber from North Dakota. Although I did recently find a fellow North Dakotan, she hasn't written anything yet. I am patiently awaiting her first hub.

It seems that hubbers from some of the more rural Great Plains States are few and far between, although there are probably those I just haven't found yet. I find that those in this region of the country have a lot in common. For the most part, we are known for our hard work ethic, our conservatism, traditional values, our patriotism and we are generally very friendly people. All of these commonalities are some of the reasons I like to meet other hubbers from the Great Plains states. As a sidenote, I understand Minnesota is not part of the Great Plains states but they are our neighbor so I included Minnesotans as well!

More Great Hubbers

Then there are those hubbers who I just enjoy reading in general. I find their lives interesting, their stories entertaining and their hubs enriching. These hubbers tend to write on a lot of different topics so its not easy for me to categorize them. I could probably add more to this list but I have to limit it somehow, so I just included ten of these great hubbers.

Well, I think that's it. These are the hubbers I try to read on a regular basis. Of course, there are many others out there whom I read as well but these are the ones who I have really related to since beginning my journey on HubPages seven months ago. I know there are also those hubbers whom I have just discovered and am hoping to get a chance to read more of their hubs.

Thanks for allowing me to share this tribute with you.

Thank you so much for mentioning me!!! I really didn't expect it. I feel like I am still new here and not the "best" of writer, so it made me feel special to know someone likes to read what I write. I like to follow and read your hubs too! Thank you!

Cari Jean I can’t begin to tell you how touched I am to be on your ‘honor roll’. This morning, I read my HubPages daily email of hubs by my favorite hubbers, as I do each morning. I was intrigued by your hub title, but did not expect to be on your list. I expected to learn about some hubbers new to me, and to offer my support to your effort, that while most would be honored to make the list, I think most also would not be offended not to, knowing how many great hubbers there are out there. Our own little community blessing.

Then I saw my name! And so close to your beautiful daughter’s picture! I think I may have visibly jumped. This was my wonderful and unexpected gift on Christmas morning. Thank you so much.

Cari Jean, Wonderful thoughtful and considerate hub! I am truly honored to be listed in your list of favorite hubbers! You just never know...

Cari Jean I too am motivated by your sincere love and dedication to your daughter! I think it is through her you gain further strength, hope and deeper spiritual insight as to what is most important in life. She is a precious gift entrusted to you from the Lord! Thank you for sharing and again your kind thoughts are much appreciated! In HIS Love & peace! God Bless You!
