blog encouragement

I've said it before, but it's worth revisiting. 

I write this blog, first-and-foremost, for myself. 

There is a sort of therapy I get from writing, posting, and sharing.

I'm proud that I've been able to create these things and made a place to keep record of them.

However, I do like to know that other people are enjoying my contributions to the blog world too. 

My cousin Kim (Hi Kim!) has been my #1 supporter; making me feel like my posts are actually anticipated and enjoyed. 

I've once had someone tell me they couldn't believe I only had 8 followers. I was both flattered... and kind of sad. 

Why don't I have more followers?

How do I get more?

Do I really even care?

^^^Hello to my awesome followers!^^^

I think I'm split 50/50. 

I care

   & I don't. 

Because admitting that I would want to have more followers is admitting that the focus of writing for myself is shifting to writing for others & I'm a little hesitant. 

But then I think about how much I love to check in on some of my favorite bloggers (check out my "Blogs I Love" page above)and the simple joy I get from reading about their new projects & life happenings. I'm inspired and encouraged to keep sharing.

And then yesterday this happened:

What a 'small world' moment!!

I really am flattered.

Hi Sabrina's friend! Thanks for finding (and sharing) my blog!!

 Where am I going with all this?

I guess I think it would be cool (and encouraging) to ask the people who are enjoying my blog to show some love!

Let me know you're here!

Because, I guess, at the end of the day I'd be ok with 8 followers but I'd be encouraged by more. 

I won't called it begging:

simply asking....

please don't make me beg-

I'm not above it!

I'll hold up my end of the deal, too-

 bringing you more projects and tid-bits than ever before.

Let's do this together.
