Start Over >> Press Play
Okay, now that the puppy love affair with blogging is over, we can now proceed to what I like to call, “the maintenance phase.” When I started blogging back in August, it was with a type of fervor you often see in a new relationship. I was writing daily posts, sometimes two, sometimes three (most of which I’ve taken down). If I wasn’t blogging, I was reading blogs or commenting on blogs or even reading about how to blog! I love you, no I love you more!
EVERYTHING became blogging fodder … I’m riding the bus, I’ll write about it! I’m eating a sandwich, who doesn’t want to know about that! In the first month I had almost 800 unique visitors and 1,600 page views. I was writing and people were reading and this was (and still is) inconceivable to me. You must understand that most of the time I am talking to my daughter and she takes “not listening to me” to a whole new level. It’s so sad, but true. So to have a venue where I put something out there and people actually read it – well it’s gratifying.
But like with any relationship, after about the first month you start thinking in terms of longevity. Do I really want to be in this relationship? Maybe we should take a break. And so I took a break. What I found, of course, is that I really like writing. I missed it. So maybe I’m not as spiritually evolved as I would like to be. Or maybe I’m not the best writer. Who cares? I, like the rest of you, am just trying to find a little piece of happiness.

Shameless!
In the interest of full disclosure, please note that product links redirecting you to other sites such as Amazon
, BlueHost, Freshbooks and OpenSky may take you a purchase page of a company where I am a member of an affiliate program. As a result, I will often get a small percentage of the revenue or a commission off of something you have purchased. I am not otherwise paid to link to these sites, nor do I link to any products that I don't actually use or covet in real life. On the rare occasion I accept payment to review a product, it will be duly noted in its associated post.
Have no fear - you are under no obligation to buy anything to get the full enjoyment of this site. We can still be friends even if you never click on an affiliate link. Rest assured, this is all low pressure. I will never show up at your door with tiny vials of Avon perfume or trial jars of pearl cream to entice you. That said, I do truly appreciate when you do purchase something from a linked site - it all helps to keep the lights on and a roof over our heads.

Great to have you back!
Finally back — hooray! I was missing reading your blogs. I liked knowing what kind of sandwich you ate!
) You actually inspired me a bit back when I first began to read your blogs. I’m thinking of writing again too — some book ideas actually. We’ll see if that goes anywhere. ;o)
