Do you ever place too high of expectations on yourself? I do this a lot! I started this blog on Wednesday, February 27, 2008. My goal in creating a blog? Just to have fun sharing with others. That's it!
So, in seven years, my life has drastically changed. My children are older, my hobbies and interests have changed, my priorities are different, and my content has certainly evolved along the way. The one thing that has remained the same is that I have always expected too much from myself!
I love connecting with those who read my blog. Some have been with me from the start and others joined along the way. You may be reading this as a first-time visitor. I welcome you all. I am so glad you are taking the time out of your day to spend a few moments with me.
So the big expectation I have always put on myself was posting. Whether it is on this blog, or my Stamping With Bridgett blog, or even my Bridgeing the Gap blog, I have this idea in my head that I need to post something every single day. It's hard to do that! I have a lot of reasons why it is really tough to post every single day but the bottom line is that, for me, it is an unrealistic goal. I simply can't do it. When I don't post, I feel like a failure and then days turn to weeks and on it goes...then it gets really tough to post at all.
I decided to make things easier on myself I would come up with a schedule. I will post only on those days. I will not promise myself to post every single day. I want to find that joy in sharing with others that I had in the beginning. So I will do that. I will be sharing again...and that will be fun for me! (And hopefully fun for you as well!)
Thank you for sticking with me. Thank you for subscribing to my blog. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to read what I post. Thank you for the comments, questions, and emails. Your encouragement and feedback has been inspiration for me to keep sharing and posting, even if it has been sporadic.
New posting schedule for 2015 is going to be Mondays and Fridays! I hope you will begin and end your work week right here at my blog. I will share updates on my kids, our family, our projects, my faith, my projects, my hobbies, and whatever I am doing at the time. Please leave me a comment below or send me an email at either stampingwithbridgett@gmail.com or bridgettowens78@gmail.com to let me know what types of things you would like to see more of. Tutorials? Recipes? Organization videos? Before and After? Arts and Crafts? Or maybe you have ideas I haven't even thought of. Thank you so much for being a part of my online journey! Have a great one!! Check back on Friday for another blog post.
Hugs,
