It’s Your Thoughts. Your Space.
You’d be surprised by how powerful your words are and how you can make a difference in the lives of others. Realize the impact of your voice… your thoughts… and your life. You alone are capable of making a positive effect that can change a life and even the greater world. All it takes is you to make an impact.
This is not an elite space, reserved for experts, thought leaders, or professional bloggers. This is a blog for real people who are willing to share themselves honestly and vulnerably.
Connect. Post. Inspire.
BayArt is where all voices are heard. It’s full of thoughts submitted by those of like-minded individuals on every aspect of life. School. Work. Mental Health. Challenges. Relationships. Success. Wellness. Social Change… You name it. Here, we don’t have to feel so alone in what it is that we’re going through in our lives. Through BayArt, each of us can support one another not only through our everyday struggles but also in our daily successes. With BayArt, we believe that regardless of your age or circumstances, you have the power to make an impact. You can empower other people globally and become inspired by them — every time you log in.
Encourage
Motivate and encourage others on their journey. There are good and bad days for everyone, but the words of one person can make any bad day into a good one. If we all help and encourage each other through our struggles, we can achieve anything. Create these positive connections with others to help them, as well as help you.
Inspire those that are following your journey and show them that anything is possible. Be the one to stay positive and show them that the greatest success is doing things that people tell you that you cannot do.

Anyone, of any age, from any location can submit an original post (not previously published anywhere else, including your own site), with a bio, for inclusion on the author page.
Your post should dig beneath the surface. The advice doesn’t seem cliché or oversimplified. It’s insightful and thought provoking, enabling readers to understand themselves and the world on a deeper level.
Word count must be more than 1,000 words.
Provide original, personal, and honest work. Original means your post has never before been published anywhere, including your own blog, and does not include any sections taken from a previously published post.
You can write about relationships. We are also looking for ideas that discuss personal and professional growth, success, motivation, inspiration, and contribution.
If you are making any scientific claims, make sure to cite your sources. Please use high authority sources.
Avoid referencing your blog, coaching practice, book, or speaking career in the body of the post. You may work in the personal development or mental health fields, but your post should be more about your shared humanity.
Provide original, personal, and honest work. Original means your post has never before been published anywhere, including your own blog, and does not include any sections taken from a previously published post.

Encouraging others is definitely something that can make a big difference!
I think I found StPsy’s sister site… I’ll be sure to sign up. I hope you do as well
That’s a great post indeed. Inspired me. Thank you! 🙂
Really enjoyed this.
It took me some time before I was willing to be completely open about my bipolar disorder. I literally and figuratively hid at home. Then I started to open up with other people with mental illnesses, on online forums and in support groups like DBSA.
I have found that the more stable I get, the more willing I am to open up about my illness with people who have no mental illness. Perhaps some people with mental illness do the opposite when they stabilize.
Yes. Awesome. The timing of coming across this post is impeccable. Today I posted my first blog entry. You were the first person to like it. Seeing that “like” made me way happier than I expected to feel. Way happier. Then I clicked your name and found this. It has taken me months to build up the courage to start a blog. This little sequence of events just confirmed it was the right choice and the right time 🙂
What else is life for, but to learn, grow, improve, and triumph over one’s numerous challenges? We learned a song in vacation bible school one summer about not letting our light get covered up by a bushel. The chorus went, “let it shine, let it shine, let it shine!” Did you ever hear that one? Anyway, it’s good advice. There are many forces and people who would rather you covered up your miraculous wonder, especially if you were made to be gay. Please consider visiting my blog: http://www.gaysexistheanswer.wordpress.com. Thank you for reading, and thank you to the lady who made this blog. {>^<V}
A motivation and aspiring post. Just loved it !! 🙂
love this post 🙂
Real stories are powerful! Thanks for reminding me that we can make a difference 🙂
I love very much this blog, very encouraging when people are down, or at least when I’m down.
You did say, I think, to say something encouraging or to share something like that.
I’ll go quick.
Been in the Spanish Legion and deployed to two screwed up countries,, got out of that job and eventually became homeless and a drug addict and alcoholic and I was homeless, it is a cliche and is true that cliche. At age 30 I almost died, yet again, from severe pancreatitis, Let alone that I lost all my familly through self destruction.
Now, 34, sober and with a job.. I call it “mind shift” You box the other bad things in some compartment in your little head, and you focus on what it is really important and once you find that it is important to you, you just make a decision to accomplish that goal that you have to set up for yourself as if your life literally depends on it.
So honoured and heart-warmed to be a part of BayArt. Thank you.
I am entirely grateful for this invitation. The topics and inspiration alone will certainly be bountiful in the new writers we encounter. Thanks so much for this opportunity.
Just saw this post now and it caught my attention at the top of the page (sorry I am a bit late to the party!). Very inspiring and certainly a primarily reason why I am using WordPress. Great job!
Wonderful blog. Glad I found you. Being nice is the best gesture ever. 🙂
