When I started this little blog over a year and a half ago, I never expected to still be doing it at the point. It was initially a stress release, more like an online journal to get me through those extra long days.
How it turned into the blog it is today stymies me at times. In the beginning, I wrote about really nothing interesting but things that I myself obsessed about…cleaning, organizing, feeding my family…..and was just learning to find my voice. If you go back to my earliest posts, it is much more diary-like in that it isn’t really tailored to the outside world; lots of inside jokes, not really funny ones either and you can tell I am not too sure of myself. As I started to write more and more and create projects I wanted to share with the world, I literally had to beg people to visit this blog. It was a little embarrassing at times.
Four-page views in one day embarrassing.
I have my dear immediate family and close friends to thank for the initial success because they brought their friends and family to my site and so on.
What I am trying to say is that it hasn’t been easy, I have worked hard to get readers but it has been worth it.
Thank you, everyone, for making this such a great year for my blog and I hope that I can continue to entertain you in 2012!
