What blogging means to me

I’ve been blogging for quite a few years now and have changed blogs, hosts, and platforms on several occasions. But it’s never really been about making money for me. I know there are many blogs out there with that exact aim and they are great blogs. I enjoy reading a variety of them and some have taught me some interesting things with regard to promotion and marketing. Likewise, I’ve also learned some of what NOT to do. Still, it isn’t about money, although I do share some affiliate links and things I support with you in the sidebar and other posts - I share only what I enjoy and believe in.
So, what does blogging mean to me and why do I do it?
Good question. Let me answer the second half first. I do it because I love writing. Plain and simple. No other reason. I love writing. I cannot imagine NOT writing. In fact, there’s a period of my life where I didn’t write at all and that is probably the darkest time of my life. I felt like I was living someone else’s life, like the real me was hiding somewhere. When I started writing again, I felt like a whole new person. Like I was doing what I came to this earth to do.
Now, to answer the first half of the question.
Blogging to me is a release. Things I don’t really say in the rest of my writing that for whatever reason want to come out. It also means sharing, teaching and learning. Some of my other passions. When I was a child, my first love was writing and my second was teaching. I still love it also. And that’s my aim - to share what I know and what I’ve learned with those who would like to listen.
Sometimes what I post here will be serious in nature - things about writing, real estate, marketing and such. Others will be more fun - like music or what is currently on my reading bookshelf. I hope most of it will hold some value for you. I know not everyone will always like what I post and I’m ok with that. Once in a while, I might get a few who unsubscribe and really, that’s ok too.
See, what I write here is as much for me as it is for you. And the bottom line is that I write for you too. Because maybe what I write will help with some aspect of your life or your business. Or maybe it’s that you just need a little breather one day. It could be just one small thing that for whatever reason is just what you need at that given moment.
I don’t believe in coincidence. However, I do believe everything happens for a reason. You landed here for a reason today or yesterday or last week or maybe last year. And I’m grateful you’re here. This blog is a journey for me just as my other writings and blogs are. It’s my sincere pleasure that you’re here whether for 1 minute or a day, a year or a lifetime.
Thank you for sharing this journey with me.
Til tomorrow,
