Since last Wednesday's debacle, I've been unable to write anything. I'm not sure what I want to write. I am ridiculously grateful to all of you who have been so supportive, especially Ian over at The Daily Dose of Reality, Shannon over at Our Daze in the Desert, Deb at Menopausal New Mom, June at 3! A Charm, Michele at Finding Trinity, Salt over at Salt Says, Babes Rockin' Mami, Jill at Hurstburst, Alyssa at Bloggin 2 Noggin and I could go on and on....
I'm not sure why I'm still so frazzled by the whole episode. Perhaps because this blog is my one thing. It's my original space. I created it. I sprinkle in some photos, add a little bit of humor, a few tablespoons of honesty, and a heaping cup of love. It may sound completely lame, lofty and unreasonable, but I want my blog to be something. I don't have a definition in mind necessarily, I just know I want you to want to come here. I want you to feel interested, excited and like you've made a new friend when you visit this blog. Because that is how I feel when I visit many of you. I don't want to let what happened on Wednesday get in the way of any of this, or change the core of who I am---I tend to be very trusting. And trustworthy.
I'm not going to change, but I am going to be more careful. Here's what you can do to protect yourself. I confess I haven't had the time to extensively research these methods, but you may notice some new buttons/banners at the top of my page. I encourage you to check out:
Jill over at Hurstburst also emailed me and suggested I check out Live Writer, which is a free download from Microsoft. She wrote a post about it a while back and she talks about watermarking her photos. I think I may steer clear from photos for a while, but when I'm ready to try again I'm going to do it her way. Read her post about it here.
Thank you all again for everything. For commenting, sharing links, emailing, posting, tweeting, and getting the word out. I appreciate it all more than you can possibly know. Ultimately, we all have to watch our own backs, but we should also be looking out for each other.
I love my blog, I love writing, and I love you. I'm not letting go of what I love. I'm holding on for dear life.
