Once upon a time ago, I wasn’t a blogger, but just your average normal 30 something woman that occasionally checked Facebook for family and friends updates.
Then something inside of me shifted and I got the blogging bug as some would call it.
That was almost 3 years ago and most who know me in my life are aware that I work from home blogging (or at least writing) and designing, too.
Those closest to me have learned to accept this part of me for better or worse, but still don’t always get or understand my blogging tendencies by any means.
If you are a blogger, yourself then I guarantee, you will not only get what I am throwing down here, but even can relate, too.
From first thing in the morning until I go to bed at night and even sometimes in my dreams, the blogger inside me lives to get out.

I couldn’t figure out where to comment on the other site. My son doesn’t quite know yet that there are a bunch of words on my blog, but if I take a picture he does ask me if I am putting it on my blog. I have to get his permission now. Sometimes he says, “NO!” If I beg then he will say, “Ok fine.” I don’t think my husband understands my desire to meet all of you in real life.

J9 Designs says
Mine doesn’t either, Kenya and seriously so got my fingers crossed for NYC BlogHer right now myself. And not sure what is going on with comments over at SITS and noticed it myself, just glad you came back here and left me a comment now π
Rea says

I’ve known people who think blogging is narcissistic. I don’t think that’s the case. I think many of us do it for the discussion and community. And we inspire each other’s work.

Eli, I couldn’t agree with you more and have also heard how many would say commenting is optional and yet I love commenting too and find it truly part of the experience.
