Blogger Remorse

Just wanted to share with you all why I abandoned my blog....

After finally working up the courage to start a blog and then actually post something, I had what one might call blogger remorse.  I felt a sudden and intense regret for having exposed my life and my family to the unknown "www".  I couldn't handle the idea of strangers seeing my precious daughter without me giving them some kind of permission.  And then I officially felt like a hypocrite.  I spend lots of time looking at blogs of other peoples lives and families and it never seems weird to me.  That's one of the reasons I love the blogs I read, because I can see their beautiful families and hear all about their personal experiences.  It almost makes it feel like I know these people when really I will never meet them in person. 

I decided to talk to my sister, who has had a successful blog for a few years now, about my feelings and she enlightened me to all the options you actually have as a blogger to keep from feeling so exposed.  So from now on I will be looking at and creating my blog a little differently than I had originally envisioned but important thing is that I get back at it, right?

The next post will be up shortly and will be WAY more interesting than this one.
