I actually teared up. Such simple advice. Such a difference we can make.
Blogging for Dollars?
My friend, Melissa , recently wrote this post , expressing her frustration with the small circle of bloggers who seem to be getting all the perks. I read it and left a lengthy comment, then realized I had even more to say. So, here it goes. I have been feeling some stress and increasing negativity in bloggyland lately. Unrest among the masses regarding PR, "A List" (whatever that is) Mommy Bloggers, the lack of money in blogging, etc. I've personally considered withdrawing completely and have spoken to a few other bloggers who are also feeling somewhat "disenchanted" with blogging as of late. It seems to have lost its luster. Here is how I see it: You begin blogging for fun. For connections. For camaraderie. You get a few followers and comments. You want more. You begin to see others talking about the free stroller or set of books. You want that too. Then you hear that some are getting to travel, meet with PR firms, speak at conferences. That sounds fun. You won

I did read your rant though and I agree. SITs does allow women (an men) to have a place to showcase their talents, be it crafting, writing, bitching, etc! It is all very entertaining to me.
If people are using blogs as "slam books", then they should really go back to 6th grade.
I started my blog as a place to share pictures with family that was far away. Nobody ever left comments. Once I joined SITs, my blog grew in different directions and I find it really fun to share the things I've made or things my kids did, etc. Who knew?
Yes, yes, yes...I most definitely want the Optimism Pays gift card to go to your camp!! :)
I came across your blog from the SITS site. Hope to come back and visit with you again soon.
thanks for sharing
