In the world of blogging and throughout the blogosphere there are blogs that are truly unique because of their concept and then there are blogs that are special more so because of the person behind them. Polliwog’s Pond happens to be one of those blogs. If you have yet to meet Polli (aka Paula), I can guarantee you it’s worth your time to stop by and say hello. If there were an award for bloggers with the biggest heart, she most certainly would win it.

I was trying to remember the first time I met Polli and I guess it may have been when she left a comment on my blog praising one of my little cartoon illustrations. She didn’t stop there though. She proceeded to be one of the very first people to write about me on their blog and I’ll never forget that. That’s just Polli though and the kind of person she is.

I guess one of my most favorite things on Polliwog’s Pond is Polli’s weekly feature called Saturday Stuff. This would be her version of speed linking where she gives a little love to other bloggers and points you in the direction of always interesting sites to see around the web, or in her words “a weekly recap of anything and everything that touched my fancy over the last seven days.” Polli has great taste and you’re darn near always likely to find something fun to check out.

Finally, I know I’m a guy and I’m supposed to be all macho but I’ll have to admit Polliwog’s Pond is the first and only blog that’s ever moved me to tears. In Giving Sorrow Words Polli writes about the sudden loss of two very dear friends of hers. I think sometimes we can tend to forgot just how real the people are behind the blogs we follow every day. Polli’s post certainly helped me to remember.

I’m willing to bet if you give Polli a chance you’ll find yourself returning to her blog often to see what she’s up to.
