Bloggers Connection: Jena Isle

For one, she has been a major influence for me coming out of my blog… err, shell. She seems to have taken it upon herself to look out for new and ’shy’ bloggers and encourage them to go out, explore the blogosphere and of course, to enjoy blogging. I have met a lot of great bloggers because of her initiative.
A great motivator indeed, but Jena’s mission does not end there. She has an ongoing campaign in eradicating violence on TV for our children’s sake. She is in fact encouraging everyone to guest post in her blog should they have any articles, stories, poems or pictures that can help her cause. Please take this as an invitation and join Jena in this worthy advocacy.
A writer, a poet, a teacher, a wife, a mother, a grandmother… (oops! sorry Jena), her many roles in life can be reflected in the many blogs that she maintains, each one catering to a different subject. As of last counting, she has ten (10) active blogs being updated regularly, these are:
A Campaign for Non-violence on TV
Jena Isle’s Mixed Bag Freebies
and the her latest baby Jena Isle’s Random Thoughts.
Yet 10 blogs seem to be not enough for this untiring writer, she also contributes to Helium, Triond, Associated Content and others that she hasn’t tipped on me yet. I guess, she could have been a better mascot for a long-lasting battery than that bunny (bad joke, tsk!).
This post is far from over, I have yet to announce her greatest endeavor to date, that of publishing an Inspirational Book next year, and I am very proud to say that I became a part of that noble project when my submitted story passed her standards.
And again, I’m extending another invitation to all writers out there who wants to become part of her book and provide inspiration to others, please do submit an inspiring story, article, or a poem to her. You can find all the details in her blog, but I’m sure she will post them here when she happens to chance upon this post.
Finally, finding that she still has time to sleep, and being the supportive blogger that she is, Jena still finds time to read other blogs, and that’s when she spins her magic wand and makes the blogosphere a friendlier environment to be in.

Thanks for posting about Jena Isle. She deserves such kind of recognition. She is one of my virtual friends since my EC days. I also guest posted on her blog about Violence in TV I think last year, as we both share the passion for children.
She even introduced Helium and Mylot to me. By the way, she also invited me submit my life story which she plans to include it to her upcoming book. Of course, who am I to say no?
With this, I can say nothing but good words for her.
Keep it up!
Thank you very much for the comments Sir Angel. I have read your interview through a link in Jena’s blog.
I’m looking forward to your story.
Really Roy, I am speechless. What can I say but thank you? You have the gift of writing that’s why you deserve to be read.
And yes, I only have 8 articles for the “Inspirational Thoughts and Stories of Bloggers All Over the World”. I need 12 more to make it at least 20. If you’re interested do visit the link below.

I appreciate what you did. It gives me a warm feeling to learn that my constant nagging and prodding (he he he) have not been misinterpreted.
Mabuhay ka cabalen. Mabuhay ka kabayan! Good luck and may you succeed in all your endeavors.

thanks for the link on the book campaign
which reminds me, I still have a couple of poems that I want to submit for your approval
Congrats for Jena for encouraging people and thanks for the this post Sir Roy. Take care!

I have quite a number of reasons why Jena Isle is the first featured blogger in the Bloggers Connection, aside from being my Cabalen. For one, she has been a major influence for me coming out of my blog… err, shell. She seems to have taken it upon he…
Wow, 10 blogs! She is indeed inspiring with her untiring advovacy! Goodluck to Jena and Roy, keep up the good work!
Thanks Snow, good luck to you too.
Jena Isle deserves all the praises… just like you and other bloggers who have been touched by her magic wand.. I am also inspired by her in a lot of ways but most especially in believing that I have the edge to be discovered through blogosphere…
through her random thoughts of wisdom and encouragement, she never gets tired to be a fairy godmother to all of us…
i remember when I got a private message from her in my helium account, telling me to participate more in ratings, so I could earn at least one rating star and become eligible for earnings.. I really appreciated that effort..for someone you don’t really know, personally..but has so much sincerity to help others..be it in blogging..or writing….
her untiring dedication for blogging and writing, aside from other roles she portrayed in her life…inspires me more than ever to continue this endeavor…
she is indeed an example of One Great Blogger!!!
Keep it up Jena!
Hi Mary Joycelle!

Hi MJ,
That was very flattering. Thank you. I just remember that I would only pass this way once, so I should extend all the goodness that I can.
