Let’s Talk About Blogging

If you’ve followed me for any length of time, you know that I’m not great at blogging.  I swear that I’m going to do better and it’s not that I don’t try, but it just doesn’t happen.  I used to love to blog.  Then I think it began to feel like work to me.  I wasn’t sure it was worth it.  I know that many of you have followed me for years and I truly appreciate it.  It takes time and patience to read blogs or even to read the newsletters from the blog.

I recently watched a class on blogging and it made me realize how very much I miss it.  Plus, I know that I have this amazing following that has stuck by me through it all.  So now, what’s this woman to do?

Well, I’m going to make an honest effort to get back into blogging.  I know better than to make promises.  I’m going to start slow and work my way up.  For now, I’m going to start at one blog post a month and see if I can do that consecutively for a couple of months.  Yes, ONE post a month now.  I’ve got to start someplace!  If I can do that, I’m going to move up to blogging twice a month.  I’d really love to maintain that.  How does that sound to all of you?

My ultimate goal will be to blog once a week….or 4 times a month.  I don’t know if that’s possible for me.  I’m constantly going different directions and blogging is going to require my focus.  The good news is that I can get it all typed out and schedule it to post!  Oh my goodness, imagine this blog and this site active again.  We’ll have to see and well, I feel good about this right now!

So what I need from all of you is to know what you’d like to see.  Of course, I’m going to blog about the things that I love.  I’d like your opinion too.  Leave a comment on this post and let me know what you’d like to see from me.  It can be about a topic, how to use a product, life, photography, religion/religious education, and well, just about anything that might interest you.  I’ll do it, if it’s within my power or realm of knowledge.  If it’s something that I don’t know about or something, I’ll let you know.  I promise, I won’t just ignore you!  Again, reply to this post about what type of things would interest you to see here.

Oh and yes, more frequent blogging will probably mean a few more freebies posted on the blog/site and in the “For Subscribers ONLY” area.  

Here’s to the future of blogging….well, ME blogging!
