In case you hadn't noticed, I recently lost my will to blog. I felt a little lost and out of balance so I stepped away for a bit to get my bearings. Today I got my photo mojo back for the first time in a while. I was strongly reminded why I love making photos. Experiencing the world through the camera's eye is one of my favorite things ever. I decided to share the love and that reminded me of something else. I don't want to miss out on the sharing that occurs among the artistic community here in blogland. That means I'm back on the blog-wagon. I'm still trying to decide exactly how I want it to play a role in my life so any advice/input you could provide would be appreciated. Why do you blog? How does it impact your life? What do you hope to get from it?

Blogging is just cathartic for me, and while my posts are usually kind of boring....I find that the more I do it, the more content and creativity I find to put into it. Even when I'm just venting.
PS....You were adorable at church on Sunday. I know you felt frazzled sitting on the floor juggling things while Gemma ran around, but everyone thinks she is adorable. And I would have been more help if it wasnt for the fact that I cant bend over at all at this point. (I still dont understand how people live through pregnancy when they already have kids to take care of....maybe someday I will :))
I'm going to be honest...I blog because I like the sound of my own voice (or in this case-my writing). I originally started out of a purely vain need to portray a perfect life to those who might read (mostly ex-boyfriends, past enemies, women skinnier/more beautiful/more talented than me). My purpose has morphed as I've become less concerned with how I'm perceived. I figure, I'll just blog whatever's on my mind or I find notable and that in itself will represent what is going on in my life and who I am. It's mostly for friends and family to see what's going on with us now that I never hang out with or talk to people. Case in point-I've wanted to get together with you FOREVER but we just can't seem to let our schedules collide. I'm hoping they'll collide soon.
Wow, can you say novel? Apparently, I am more passionate about the subject than I thought. See, that's what happens when I blog too. Sometimes I even surprise myself.
Lovely photos as always...Gemma is getting so big...She's so so so so cute...I love your flip flop feet peeking in...
Love the pictures! I blog because I use it as a journal. I print them out each year...late...and have it to remember things by. When I print it I put my personal journal and the ones I've done for my kids in there too. I also decided to put pictures in that I've taken that didn't make it on the blog. Blogging also makes me take a look around and think about what might be "blog worthy." It's really opened my eyes to the sweet simple things around me. Also, I always include a picture in my post, which means I'm taking more pictures, which hopefully means I'm getting better:) And lastly, so my family can see my kids grow up. Happy blogging:)
I've been checking your blog frequently to see what you are up to . Gemma is so big. What a beautiful baby. I miss you. Glad you are back.
Thank you all for your wise words! And also for staying faithful to my little bloggy!
