I had no idea about the whole blogging thing until I really stepped out and created my own, almost 3 years ago now. It really is crazy!

It's pretty darn amazing when I think about the people I would NEVER know if it weren't for blogging. Hope you keep at it for a long, long time.

Thanks for the shoutout! I can't believe I'm doing this five years later. Some of my friends definitely think it is crazy that I'm going to a conference for it. :) So happy to have met you via blogging and to call you a friend.

Elaine,
What a lovely surprise from Jen to get you thinking. I agree. Many have come and gone. My taste has changed, so has others. Many of my non-blogger friends can't seem to understand how my online friends become my IRL friends. I remember meeting both you and Jen at that BBC in Austin. My life is so much richer because of people like you.

I've seen a lot of blogers come and go as well and have found my taste in blogs I read change. Its nice still visiting some of my oldies but goodies. I always like discovering those who still believe in me too. Happy Sunday.

2012-01-14T10:52:19.977-06:00

Wow...I'm starting to really understand what you mean. I started only last September (or was it October??) and never dreamed I'd stick with it for more than a month.

Then I started connecting with blogs I read.

Then some started to connecting with mine.

And now, there's these people who seem to like me for who I am. Because I'm way more honest on my blog than I can be in real life. And there are people who think I'm ok.

And I seriously look forward to the day I get to meet you!

It still amazes me when family and friends tell me they read my words. I imagine strangers reading. But when I look through the comments I only see friends names...people I have connected with and built friendships with.

Your pictures above are gorgeous!! You are stunning

Exactly.

2012-01-14T08:20:30.283-06:00

Exactly.

2012-01-13T23:08:36.263-06:00

I've thought about giving up blogging a few times - and then quickly squashed that thought because, yes, the friends, the love, the community. Who could give that up and why would they???

I'm glad to hear you're here to stay - I hope I will be too for a long time. And it was nice to have virtually met you.

I'm one of those you met through blogging- yea...

2012-01-13T20:03:55.334-06:00

Yeah, I love the connection to others that I get through the blogging world! It's astounding to me that there are so many out there that started off just wanting to do "x" and ended up meeting wonderful friends! Love it!

2012-01-13T16:40:47.040-06:00

I've been at it less than a year, and I'm already finding these friendships - very real ones - that I wouldn't trade for anything. Thanks for visiting Jester Queen!

YAY! Love that you're here to stay and love th...

2012-01-13T16:37:49.472-06:00

YAY! Love that you're here to stay and love the connections and friendships that you've made! Pretty amazing, yes? :)

What a wonderful tribute to blogging! I just love the community of bloggers. Even though I have seasons where I blog daily and other seasons where my posts are hit and miss, I always love my friends in blogland. Love the pictures and stories!

I noticed your blog today on Jen's post as well. I am a new reader of hers and now will be a new reader here. :) Great blog!

I couldn't agree more! I have met some truly wonderful people while blogging, but I haven't been blogging as long as you yet.... :-) Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Blessings,
Jill

I got reading more of you blog....hmm
I thought you quit for awhile because I have been following you forever but you haven't shown up in my feed. It looks like you haven't quit. Wonder what happened.
Anyway, nice to see you again.

Keep on posting!

2012-01-13T11:51:50.273-06:00

Wow. There's so much left in this blogging journey for me to discover. It would be fun to develop friendships this way... Since I'm just in the beginning it is hard for me to imagine - but I guess you never know! :)

I just got home from chick fil a meeting with a friend and her son Eme's age, and blogging brought us together. She read my blog for a long time, and we knew we had a bunch of mutual connections and that we lived close--and we finally were like, lets get together! And now? She's one of my closest friends and I'm so glad God put her in my life. So, yea. I'm so with you.

2012-01-13T10:48:27.641-06:00

Look how cute my hair was.

Kidding! I completely agree with you. I've met some amazing people through blogging, like you. I just wish we could actually all BE together more. That's the hard part.

2012-01-13T10:45:54.175-06:00

You are right,those that don't blog just don't quite get it. It is a wonderful thing and so liberating at times too. I have been blogging for over three years now and have no intention of stopping :)
