In light of my recent celebrations, I have not felt like blogging much. I want you to know I love having my blog, but lately I have not been motivated to write (maybe I have writer's block) or maybe I am just not feeling like I have much to share.
I am sure you have noticed the lack in my posting and that is because I haven't felt like blogging or posting every day or even every other day. Sometimes I get on a kick and blog every day, sometimes every other day but lately, it's everything I can do to put up a weekly post or post twice a week. But I have been reading blogs and I love keeping up with all my blogger friends!
The silly part about this rant, is that blogging is a choice, it's not an obligation and it should never feel like a job. I have developed so many online relationships with my fellow bloggers and I really enjoy keeping up with everyone's lives but man alive, social networking can be exhausting! lol
Yes I am training and yes I am feeling very positive about my training and yep you will still see a weekly training recap every week because guess what....I started it and I want to finish it AND there just might be one person out there who is actually following along to my training plan and is using this information to help them in exercise regimen.
So on that note, my blogging may decrease a bit, don't worry I am still here, but I have alot going on in my personal life that needs my attention.
P.S. I am on twitter, so if you want to chat, tweet me or email me (southerngirlrunning@gmail.com)
I am also considering making some changes in my blogging format, not just to concentrate on my running and training but to also touch on some other important aspects of my life.
Since I have reaffirmed my faith in Christ, I have made some changes in my life and have seen God's work firsthand in my life and I just amazed and excited at the same time for what's to come in my life. I really want to be able to share more of my journey with you.
Thanks as always for reading and I hope you will stick around for the changes!
Congrats on reaffirming your faith!!!! That's something I've done in the past few years too and my life couldn't be more different in a good way:-) I'll still read, so don't think you'll offend people (well, who knows you might, but not me;-) when talking about your faith. I know sometimes it can feel weird, but go for it!
ReplyDeleteI am open to read anything! Good luck with everything Missy!
ReplyDeleteLove this! And I totally agree Social Media is exhausting! I will never be a blogger to tweet 40 times a day. If you want to read my blog, I should have to tweet all the time for you to read it :) Live life, blog when you can and see where God takes you!
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way about blogging sometimes as well. I support whatever decisions you make. You seem like a great girl and I love reading your blog!
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain sometimes! I think a lot of my feelings are part of a winter funk that I go through every year around this time, and I hate it! Just go with how you feel and never worry about it. If I don't feel like posting, I don't!
ReplyDeleteUnderstand girl. Don't ever feel pressure to post daily. Post when you want to. Sometimes I feel pressure to post daily, but I don't want dumb content just to have a post. I also feel like we need to apologize when we go a week or more w/o posting. If you want to explain, sure go ahead, but no one needs an explanation. Social media is hard--I check it often, but lately I've been putting the phone away when my husband gets home from work. That way I can be present and give him my time. People are too connected to their phones. So glad you are getting back into God's word. Feel free to share about whatever you want b/c it is your blog. I will be reading whether you post daily, once a week, or once a month. Have a great day! :)
ReplyDeletei totally understand and while i love the blogging community, i never want to feel like i HAVE to post. sometimes there just isn't enough time in the day to get it all in, and everyone has priorities! i think it's awesome that you're making God one of yours :) i think any outlet you have is the potential to share what God is doing in your life and it's a chance to witness to others.
ReplyDeleteI am right there with you, girl! Sometimes, life just gets in the way. I also lose the motivation - I find myself thinking that "no one will like this post" or "no one cares about ______" so I just don't write anything. But that's the nice part of blogging - YOU dictate the terms!
