On Blogging (Pt. 2)


I try to keep this blog fun and pretty and lovely and airy. Every now and then I address something somewhat deep and rant for a minute, give my opinion and it's done. I do posts sometimes that make my readers think or stop and be thankful.

Bottom line is I'm pretty personal here, but not in a heavy, overwhelming way.

However, today I'm feeling the need to address something. I'm sorry, in advance, if I offend any of you, that's not my intention. But like I have said over and over, I'm real and genuine and I will never be fake or say something just to please people.

So, here it is....

 I hate when I get a comment that says 'follow me and I'll follow you back.' Um, no thanks. That's not what I'm here for. Sure I link up if some of my favorite ladies are having a blog hop, but that still doesn't mean I'm 'blogging for followers.' Every one of you who has decided to read BeB warms my heart. I mean that! I am still overwhelmed with your love. However, along this journey I have lost my fair share of followers. Why? I have no idea. Is it because I didn't follow you back? Did you get bored with my blog? I don't know. But I try not to get discouraged. People come and go in your life, why wouldn't they come and go on your blog, too. For those of you who have decided to stay and get to know me, I am grateful. However, if you decide that my blog isn't for you anymore, then that's ok too, but rest assured that I will never just blog to get followers.


I've discovered in the short time that I've been blogging that cliques form within these blogs just like they do in real life. Funny how that happens isn't it? I'm sure some people would have a blog clique that they say I belong to. However, just like in my real life I try to avoid cliques within the blogosphere. I follow and read every kind of blog you could imagine- lifestyle, mommyhood, food, fashion, photography, interior design- the list goes on. My point is, I blog because I like it. I blog for the friends that I've found and for the friends that will come. I don't blog just for the numbers. Sure, new followers make me so happy (happy!!) but this has become a creative release for me and I love it.

I don't know where this blog will go or what it will become. For now, though, I like where it is and the people that come and go here. If you read this, wow, thank you. Sorry for starting the week off with this kind of post. But I'm not sorry for being real. That's how it goes though, isn't it?

Thank you.
