Hello lovelies! The other day I read a post that really struck a cord. I'm usually pretty open with what I share on my blog and DO post what I want to because IT IS MY BLOG... but I have to admit that SOMETIMES when I hit "publish post", I am hesitant. After writing this blog for a year now, I am able to tell what posts will get the a lot pageviews and comments and what won't. I know it's not about that but sometimes I think maybe it would be best if I don't blog about those topics as much.
Until I read a post that reminded me not to think that way. The post that really stuck a cord was From the Heart written by my beautiful friend and namesake, Michelle at The Vintage Apple.
Here is just a small piece of an amazingly written post...
Blog because you love to.
Blog because you have things you want to say.
Blog because you don't have things to say.
BLOG ABOUT WHATEVER YOU WANT.
People will read what you have to say or they won't.
Now ... please go read the whole post! And please follow Michelle too! She's pretty awesome! ;)
Remember . . . blog for you! I know I will! ;)
Remember . . . blog for you! I know I will! ;)
Happy Blogging! xo

So true! Your post and Michelle's post are exactly what blogging should be about!
Blogging for you is the best way to blog :) You can't please everyone.
This is so true! I have to remind myself of this too!
Amen!!! I'll have to go read that post!
I have a whopping 4 followers on my blog. It used to bug me until I realized, I write for myself. I write to remember what's going on in my life because I'm pretty forgetful. I'm okay with that.
Great reminder, girl! Blog about what makes you happy!
I read her post the other day and it is so true! I definitely hesitate to publish some posts since I am trying to get more trafic, but I always end up publishing them anyway since my blog is my journal so why not!
Very true. I have to really get back into it. I have been so lazy with even reading blogs let alone writing my own.

Blog for you! Something I need to keep in the forefront of my mind. Thanks for the great reminder! Have a great weekend girlie!!

Hi Michelle! I'm a new follower to your blog & a new blogger myself so I especially liked this post! I love country music too, so it's been fun following your love of Jason! I look forward to reading more!
i agree that you should blog about what you like and not what will get readers. i blog about what i want in my scrapbook as that is what i intend to do each year. turn it into a physical book and flip thru the pages with my littles!
