Why do we blog?

I think it is fascinating to watch the technological trends. When I returned home from my mission two and a half years ago, everyone had a MySpace page. It seemed like the cool thing to do. I even made one myself. I think I have only ever looked at it twice. I bet my account has been deleted. Facebook wasn't really so big at the time but now it seems everyone is on Facebook and MySpace has phased out. I am not a fan of Facebook. I don't like the wall to wall much. I only keep my account because so many people from my mission keep in contact with me via "the wall." Although Facebook seems to be big...blogging has also become big. It was a word I did not know two years ago. I confess I have some technologically advanced friends who started blogging years ago but it was so foreign to me when I started a year ago.

In the beginning I was a lame blogger. It was hard for me to think of things to write about because well...although our lives were exciting to us...they did not appear that way to others. But then, something big happened. We got pregnant. That gave me something to talk about. Then she came. That gave me more to talk about. I was the typical "mom" blogger. Posting things about Mya and how cute and sweet she was and is. Then it all changed one day when I decided I wanted my blog to be more than about Mya. Although Mya is what keeps me going all day, so does my brain. I have so many thoughts and Tim only has so many ears to hear them with. So I thought, I will write them down occasionally on the blog to see if they interest others. Sometimes they do. Sometimes they don't. I am fine with that seeing as sometimes I read other blog posts and don't have anything to comment.

So why do I blog now? I blog to write. I love to write. It is a passion of mine and since I have just graduated, I have no more papers to write. So I write on my blog. I also write for the many fans and followers of Mya. I have learned she has many. I believe a blog should be a way to allow grandparents, family and friends the opportunity to see our family grow and change since we live nowhere near eachother. And I blog for me. It is a record of my life. I like it a lot. I don't really care if you do or do not. Don't be offended. I know you just were. But that's what it is about. Granted, this blog is not just written by me. Tim offers his thoughts once in and while and I love them.

So I hope you will enjoy this little blogging journey of mine as I continue to post my ideas and questions for you. I may even begin to post my recipes since I have had so many people ask me for them. I will always be totally honest with my readers as long as they are totally honest with me.

For those of you concerned about my insomnia, I will gladly tell you that I slept last night. It may have been the best sleep I have had in awhile. Thanks for the advice.

Please tell me...why do you blog?

  1. I blog to challenge and expose myself and others. We live in a society where it's faux pas to show weakness, and yet-we are braggarts if we celebrate our triumphs. Blogging is an opportunity to deliberately discuss more of life, and all of her incredible events under a microscope.

    I also write as an escape. When acting is slow (and it has been painfully slow for me this year.) I can still express myself artistically and share my voice. As you pointed out, perhaps no one cares. But I do. I want to have a voice and a thought to pass along. And I care desperately about the ideas you share, as I often learn and grow with them.

  3. I blog for a lot of reasons...my first being that it is a way for my family and friends around the country to stay in touch since they are all horrible at picking up the phone and calling me...wait, or is that me? I also love the idea of turning my blog into a book and not always feeling guilty for not being better at journaling and record keeping. And lastly...I blog because its fun and it helps me relax after such long days.

  4. Knowing I want to blog about something helps me to remember to take pictures. (I like to include pics in my blogs.) It also helps my friends that are far away see what I'm up to (and vice versa if they have a blog.)

  6. I guess it is no longer a news that Dr.Ogudugu is the best spell caster, Winfield is my name and i have read good reviews about Dr.Ogudugu before i contacted him through these details via phone number +2348063739701 or via greatogudugu@gmail.com which i took from the internet. I was so shocked when Dr.Ogudugu told me that once he cast the spell that my lover is going to come back within 48 hours and i was wondering how that could be possible but i must say i became the most happiest person on earth when my lover came back to me and since then i have been a huge fan of DR.OGUDUGU

  12. Its a great pleasure for me to write this testimony about how i got my Genital Herpes cured a month ago. i have been reading so many comments of some people who were cured from various diseases by Dr Aza but i never believed them. I was hurt and depressed so I was too curious and wanted to try DR. Aza then i contacted him through his email, he assured me 100% that he will heal me, i pleaded with him to help me out. My experience with him was great, he healed me just as he promised. he sent me his medication and ask me to go for a medical check up after two weeks of usage. i agreed with him i took this medication and went for a check up, to my greatest surprise my result was negative, i am really happy that i am cured and healthy again. I have waited for 3weeks to be very sure i was completely healed before writing this testimony. I did another blood test one week ago and it was still Herpes negative. so i guess its time i recommend anyone going through the same way. reach him through his email address: drazaherbalcenter@gmail.com OR call, add him on Whatsapp +1(315) 795 1518 you can also visite his website at;www.drazaherbalcenter.com

  15. This is the website I read about DR ISIKOLO and contacted him to help me get my ex boyfriend back to marry me during the month of May this year and I have come back here to post about him. Doctor Isikolo will help you solve your problem no matter what you are going through. My name is Anna Oscar. Posting about a spell caster is very strange to me because I never believed i will be able to say that I was helped by a spell caster in bringing my ex boyfriend back to me even when he left me due to infidelity and constant abuse and we fought severally and after 6 months of no contact. I read about Doctor Paul from other websites and contacted him to help me and in less than 48 hours my ex boyfriend called me and I was happy that he wants to get back to me. We met same month and he proposed to me. It was the most beautiful ring. Please everyone out here, Contact DR ISIKOLO to solve your problem for you and make you happy with your relationship that is hurting you. Love is the best feeling ever experienced. Email him at: isikolosolutionhome@gmail.com You can also WhatsApp him on +1(725)240-4536
