The One with my Opinion on Blogging - Tuesday Talk

I love blogging.

When I started I promised myself that I would never apologize for not blogging.

I promised myself that I would never feel guilty about it either.

I haven't, but I do miss it when I can't find a stinkin' minute to sit down long enough to write one post.

As I've been away from my blog for the past 8 weeks or so.... this is how I have felt ----->

I've just been living.  

I am not the best at chronicling my life, but I definitely enjoy it.

I told myself that I will blog when I can and if you choose to read it great! If not...that's great too....

I know that you are all just as busy as I am! 

There are several blogs that I would LOVE to enjoy on a daily basis, but between my full-time job, my wife & mom duties, etc. etc..... I just can't squeeze them ALL in.

I have already surpassed my personal goals for my blog.

I have met some great blogging friends....some whom I am co-hosting this new weekly link up with.

I have pried myself a little bit out of my introverted shell that I "created" over the past several years.

I also attended a very fun dinner with the Texas Women Bloggers in Dallas.

If along the way I earn money through blogging then it will just be a nice bonus because that is not on the top of my 

priority list right now.

This past year I have become a part of a blogging community that I am so appreciative of.  
Their friendships have meant a lot to me.

Each one of us in this group is different. 

We all have different things going on in our lives and we all have different goals for our blogs.  

Even though we are all different...we create together and encourage one another.

We want to see each other reach their goals.

As always... my hope for this blog is just to be an encouragement to each of my readers.

Life is hard, life is messy.... but with God it can still be so beautiful.
