Many of you readers are old timers who have been a part of this process since the very beginning (Thank you so much, loyal friends and family!). Others are new to the Josie Girl Blog, so thank you for signing up, clicking on the link, and just simply reading the posts. I really love sharing my family, life, and thoughts with you all — and I hope some resonate with you as well. Since many of you readers are new, I wanted to share with you 10 of the most read posts over the past 5 years. Enjoy!

Five years ago….when I was a little younger, less stressed, more energy, and healthier….but wouldn’t trade my sleepless nights or wrinkles for anything!
The story of our good friend Laura Wales. A MUST READ story about tragedy, circumstance, and perseverance.
Another story involving incredible tragedy. And an uplifting moment (involving Psy the Gangnam Style singer).
3. Clogmaster
No tragedy. Just clogs, and the clogmaster (Cecilia Tidlund)

So although I am not a famous Top Notch Blogger, I do love writing and thinking about this blog. All my thoughts are authentic, unsponsored, real. I share with you because I want to include you in a brand I deeply love (Natori) and the people and the thoughts behind it. Thank you for *allowing* me to share with you three times a week.
Why I Teach is still my favorite blog post you’ve written. Inspiring and real! Love it
All such good ones! Laura’s tsunami story is incredible. I was so hooked.
Also, now I wish Gossip girl was still on (and that I owned Blair’s wardrobe)
