BLOGGING IS COURAGEOUS!!!
Hello Friends,
I have had such a great week! First, I want to share quickly that I finished my Assignment 6 story which is a story about a girl with the compulsion to cut, and it is targeted at middle-school to teen-aged kids. I haven’t turned it in yet, though, because I have another part of my assignment to finish also. But it will definitely be in before March 1st! I am proud of myself which is not as difficult to say as it used to be for me.
Second, I am working on a mama and baby porcupine watercolor, but because of all the writing, I am taking it easy with my arm. I am still working out (not every day) but when I do, it helps a lot.
Lastly, the reason I titled this post “BLOGGING IS COURAGEOUS” is because I have been blessed to have many new followers lately, and NEW bloggers who have begun blogging about their challenges with depression and anxiety and other mental health issues. To all of you who have recently found and followed me, congratulations! Keep on blogging, try not to get discouraged, and make lots of friends.
It is challenging and blogging and making new friends online has been very rewarding for me. Keep up the great work bloggers!
Have a wonderful day, and give someone you love a big hug! 🙂

Thanks Clare. The funny thing is that I didn’t post much!

Blogging is a courageous act without doubt. You put your truth out there each time and eventually, you develop a community. It takes a long time to pull in your dedicated following and it unfortunately requires a lot of work. I have over 600 which is a small following and I’d bet that less than 40 actually read my blog. Those that do are now close friends in every way. I’ve been blogging 6 years, I think. 🙂 Fortunately, I don’t care much or look at the statistics. I write to keep my sanity and so far, it’s been working. Well, maybe that can be questionable some days. Hang in there. If you build it, they will come. I’m quite far behind on my reading and up at 5 this morning to try and catch up. Long story to be told soon. 😉 Have a Zen Sunday.

Yes, it has been a really fun five years for me! I think when we write for ourselves first, some will like it and some won’t. The same with art or anything else creative that we do. I don’t get hung up on how many likes or followers I have either. I just enjoy blogging! Have a wonderful day and thanks for reading! 🙂
