Race for Congo Blog Drive and (Why Do I Blog?)
I am so excited to be helping out my twitter friend @wishfulme this great charity event, Race for Congo Blog Drive, she is working on. Not only do I owe her for helping me make some changes to my blog design, but as you well know if you read my blog, I am sucker for a cause.
I figured out long ago that the power of individual enthusiasm can bring about big change.
With this first link-up she asks that you promote the Race for Congo Blog Drive which you can read about below, and that you answer the question: Why do you blog?
In the very beginning I started following blogs to save money, get free samples and enter giveaways.
I got a ton of free samples, and still do.
I got a ton of free samples, and still do.
I won a ton of giveaways, not so much anymore.
While I was spending all this time on other's blogs I started to notice something.
When they posted personal things - like something they were trying with their kids, something they were struggling with or just some news that they were so happy about that they just couldn't keep it to themselves...
They got a ton of comments.
With those comments came love, support and understanding.
This is why I blog.
It's so wonderful when you take the time to share your world,
how the world provides ears. (or eyes if your of the literal sort.)
Why do you blog?

Great post! I like how you shared how you switched your motivation for blogging. There are so many great things you can gain from blogging and the tangible things are only a small part. The other bloggers who share their stories and listen to yours are such a big part of the blogging community. I recently launched www.whyiblog.com where people can share why they blog and read what others have to say. I would love to hear what you have to say and you might find other stories interesting
ReplyDeleteWoowho! Thanks for the FIRST linkup!
ReplyDeleteGreat reason for blogging. The blogging community is a wonderful support system to join in on.
Take care!

Great post and for a great cause! I feel the same way about why I blog. I also wanted to document how I felt as my son got older. I often remember the little things, but not how I felt at that exact moment. I may be stressed out, but when he smiled after he rode his bike for the first time without training wheels was....well one of those WOW feelings!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend with your little ones!
