HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
I was chatting it up with Alicia, Brew Mama, complaining because I had no idea what to write about for today. Its Halloween and first thing i should have thought of was something for Halloween, but just not an option. I am not passing out candy now, trick or treating not moved because of weather. Delaney is with her mom, we didn't carve pumpkins, I didn't bake anything, haven't dressed up in years. Basically i am being a Halloween Debby downer.
So instead I thought i would get a little serious and sentimental on the blog today!
I have started and stopped a blog multiple times in the past couple of years! I started "Lady Luck" back in February and have been an active blogger ever since. I started off with the wrong mind set about blogging, i wanted a lot of followers, a lot of page views, people to pay to be on my blog as a sponsor. i got involved in A LOT OF giveaways just to get followers. So now i have just over 300 followers on bloglovin' and I know hardly any of them READ my blog and COMMENT.
I slowly but surely figured out that is not what i wanted to do with my blog. I wanted to be able to write and share about my everyday life and meet new people. Once i finally got the correct mindset, i started meeting some amazing bloggers, made some true connections and have developed some awesome friendships.
I do not work(for now), just go to school full time and I have a lot on my plate with other things so blogging and my blogger friends are my escape from the world or a place i get vent and not be judged. I just got a whole new make over of my blog and i am loving it, it makes me feel so much better about my blog and I just want to show it off!
I love blogging, i have my loyal readers and so enjoy doing my weekly link ups i do. I love signing up for swaps and getting things in the mail from other readers. Blogging has most def. changed my life and for the better, i will continue to do it until i just have no heart left in it and i don't see that happening anytime soon.
Thank you so much to those who read and enjoy reading about my everyday life, i am a random blogger and love to share, sometimes too much, but that's just who i am! I will always be real and honest!!
Hope everyone has a great Thursday and a Happy Halloween!
Our puppies look so cute... so sweet. It's funny how you can click with someone that you have never met IRL. The close friends I've made from blogging is amazing. I mean who would of thought we would be texting a million times of day. We've gotten to know each other pretty well, which I love. I love that we can joke with Jodi and Jason on IG. We have a lot of fun...which is why we need to all meet IRL.
ReplyDeleteBlogging for me has a been an outlet and a place to show my life. When I'm having a bad day and someone emails me something nice or can relate, it immediately makes me feel better.
So don't ever get burned out...I would miss you too much... The numbers are not important, but the friends you make are... love ya...xoxo
I was just talking to a blog friend today about the diffetence in giveaway followers and true followrrs! Thats why I hardly even check my stats! Yeah, its great to see the numbet go up, but I mainly wanna know where my readers are coming from bc I want then to keep reading!! Love the layout!!
ReplyDeleteI love your new mindset on blogging! I feel th same way. It's helped me to make such new, wonderful friends. Even if we've never met, I feel closer to so many of you than I do to some friends here. It's an outlet. Even if I'm totally slacking in blogging, it's helped me so much!! You all have!
