ok. i have been avoiding, well not avoiding, but questioning this "post" for quite some time. not because i think anything is wrong with it, but i am just so bad at things like this. however, one of my bloggy heroes recently contacted little ole me and gave me some support and encouragement to go-on-an-ge-it-gurl. so here goes.
for those of you who do not know, blogging can be about a gazillion different things. it can be to inform the world, it can be promote a business, it can be to educate, to share personal information, or be strictly business. some people use this forum as a journal for the world and some keep them locked up tight for only a chosen few. some do this to pass time and some do it to make a living. really the list goes on and on. i like to use my little blog spot to share myself with whom ever is interested in knowing. i have always been an introvert in the most unusual way. i am an open book to those select few i know and trust, and completely closed to those i don't. i work on this, but i find that i am just so derrrn awkward by default. this opportunity has allowed me to share thoughts, moments and ideas with others that i would have never done so before and in turn i have made connections and friendships i would have otherwise lived a lifetime with out. yepper, its true. i have received comments from friends old and new. i have rekindled relationships i thought once dead, and found myself with a companion in situations i swore i was completely alone. to me my goal and purpose with my little blogventure has been a smashing success.
so this tells me that maybe, just maybe it be time i entertain the idea of taking this baby of mine to another level. like i said, i am not great at this part, so bare with me. a successful peer of mine reached out and suggested i try taking my blog further. to reach more out there who can relate and benefit from this odd, but beautiful relationship we form in bloggyland. from all of the comments, texts, and e-mails my readers have sent, i have found such inspiration and happiness. sooooooo. i have decided to entertain the idea and put the ball in your court...
to grow this blog online i need a certain following. you know that little spot on right of the blog that says members. right now i have 27. which to me is more than i ever actually expected. seriously. but its not nearly enough to be of note. here is where you readers come in...and i get uncomfortable. i am getting on average 300 reads a day. not too shabby at all. and i have a hunch that those 27 people are not reading that many times, especially since each read is only counted once. i am not great at math, but that equation i do know. :-). so, if you are reading, and you are interested in supporting, please become a member and follow. i would LOVE to know who you are and if/when this number grows we can start sharing comments and make this whole thing more that just a one way, from me to you, thang. what cha think??? is it a deal?
if you want to support and see this grow, follow. if not, that is totally ok too. either way, i'm gonna keep on keepin on and just let it be what it is meant to be.
oofta. glad that is over. i know its free and takes two minutes and is completely goofy, but for some reason, this whole thing feels like when you have to ask people for donations or money in fundraisers. weird. at any rate. thank you for being so loyal and giving me your time already. i can't wait to see what you decide...
