![]() I’m going back to what I love and who I am. I’m not creating stuff just to have content. If I don’t want to post for a month, I won’t. I’m not quitting my blog, I’m quitting the BUSINESS of blogging. My heart wants to be a mom…a mom who is present. My heart doesn’t want to be a professional blogger. ![]() I listened too much to what a blogger “should” do instead of what my heart wants to do. I cried when my Google AdSense ads got cancelled (WHAT THE CRAP?). I did projects I didn’t love for the money/freebies. I got caught up in pushing/promoting projects. I listened to too many people who were not myself. I used to find so much joy in blogging and creating, but over the last year, something’s changed. #7 on the role list can’t be #1 on the time list. What if I spent 1-2 hours/day strengthening my marriage? What if I spent that time helping someone? What if I spent that time playing trains with my 3 year old? What if I spent that time on a walk? What if I spent that time doing service? Reality: I spend 1-2 hours/day dealing with emails, sponsors, giveaways (many of which never go anywhere)…that doesn’t include projects, pictures, writing posts, etc. I thought about how much TIME blogging takes. Not being able to get off the couch for most of a week gives you a lot of time for reflecting…you know, once you’re all caught up on Toddler’s & Tiaras and stuff. ![]() Please understand this all applies to ME and ME ONLY. This post has been rolling around in my head for several days now, and I hope it comes out in the way I intend.
