Why Blog?

So I ended up getting a blog, after everyone in my entire family basically had one. But I didn't really ever use it. I would get complaints from my Dad, and my Grandparents about how I never posted anything, wrote anything, or updated about my life. It  wasn't really until after I got married that I really went into full swing of using it. I absolutely love to read my families blogs and see what is going on in their life's since I don't live so close anymore, and since then have found joy in reading all the different types of blogs out there! I have found so many little treasures by stumbling across people's blogs. I get so many ideas, and am so inspired by people's lives, art, ambitions, achievements, advice everything you name it. When contemplating making this blog private, I decided that I enjoy reading and gaining advice, inspiration, and ideas from all the blogs out there, that why not keep mine a place for that. I have enjoyed all  the friends I have made through the digital world, and I wouldn't mind keeping those types of connections going with other women out there that relate to me and my life. Ultimately I think Gordon B. Hickey's quote sum it up perfectly...

Although a blog sometimes shouldn't be as personal as a journal would be. (I still think people should have journals for those more intimate thoughts and experiences) It can be a place where friends and family and others can take a peek into the things that make you happy. Those experiences that have helped you, and could hopefully help others. Spread the Love.

  3. I wish my family members blogged. My mom is addicted to facebook so I keep updated with family photos & news on there.
    That quote is really insightful! I think I might put it as a blurb at the beginning of my journal.
    Happy Thursday!
