About

Alex Blackwell | Founding Editor and Primary Writer

alex-blackwelllOn the brink of divorce several years ago, I needed to make a few changes within myself before my life could change.

Knowing creating positive change was necessary, I started down the path of learning how to appreciate exactly what I have.

Many of the articles you’ll read here deal with the themes of offering forgiveness, relying on faith during difficult times and appreciating the preciousness of each moment. And you will read articles about my wife, Mary Beth and the amazing power of love.

My blog is my gift to you. The BridgeMaker connects people who are looking to find faith, share inspiration and celebrate personal change.

And I’m looking forward to celebrating with you.

Since the blog launched in 2008, more than one million readers have visited. This has translated to a growing and thriving community of like-minded people who are looking to create positive, joyful and inspiring life change.
