The Blessing of Blogging:
I share what I’ve learned in life. My unique view is of an adopted person who has unofficially adopted two boys through marriage. I’m going through Human Services educational program for a future career as a Social Worker. Blogging allows me to digest my academic lessons as well as the lessons that are revealed to me through life. Due to the “accountability” factor, I hold myself to what I write to maintain my character and integrity. Blogging gives me the platform to lift people up who are struggling. I can encourage people who perhaps have no other source of hope. I also get to brag about my kids and my husband which in turn increases my positive reflection on my day to day life. I strive to be content with my life on a daily basis.What’s in it for me?
I am not blogging for income yet. I'm not hiding advertising in my posts. I am networking to learn from the pros. I’m enjoying e-meeting people. It is a blessing to connect with people who can relate to my writing as well as be exposed to people with different views. I am motivated to keep my site traffic steady and my Alexa ratings in the 6K-8K range.

Status so far:
I started to actively promote my blog in April of this year. I’ve made my Alexa standard since taking those measures. I’ve had one guest writer and I guest wrote for a business blog in England. I spend a minimum of 4 hours per day on maintaining my blog and writing posts. I’ll always consider myself a student of this venture. [I look to Terri for some guidance. =)]
