The future of my blog...

Lately I haven't known what to do with myself concerning this blog...I love it, most of the time. But there are times I just want to get rid of it.

I have 135 followers. Out of those people I'd say about 80 are real followers. I know this because I receive emails from you, we communicate via twitter, or you comment on my posts.

Out of the 80 people who really are following me there are about 40 that I have truly formed a connection with. These are the bloggers that keep me going...the reason that I come back.

It's been said that quality should always trump quantity and I believe that to be true with blogs. My other blog Recovery Through My Eyes is set at private and only has 7 followers. Yet I've gotten more fulfillment from writing there then writing for Diary of a Dreamer which has a much bigger following.

I'm not exactly sure what the future holds for this blog. Maybe I will whittle down my followers, maybe I will set it to private, maybe I'll just delete it, maybe I'll peace out for a bit and let the excess followers drop me one by one, or maybe I'll keep going as is....

...that is the beauty of it, it is my blog, so I call the shots. ;-)

Have a fabulous day everyone!

My Very First Giveaway!!!

Well folks, this is my very first giveaway!! I hope it goes well! I just love my bloggy friends and I wanted to give something back as a way of saying thanks for all the support.

This necklace combines a simple silver chain with a pendant and 2 charms.

1) Follow my blog (extra brownie points if you follow me on twitter as well) :-)

A winner will be announced Wednesday of next week. I will have my hubby pick the winner so when you do the above be creative! (Oh, and if you are responsible for a friend joining this blog be sure to let me know!)

I hope you enjoy the fun...I might try to do this more often if there is enough interest.

Have a fabulous Labor Day weekend!

New name...same blog

Well, I did it! The new name for my blog is The Diary of a Dreamer.

I felt this title was more fitting for me.

I’m not 100% sold on the background…but I do love the header. So we’ll see what transpires over the next few days.

Thanks for your input and advice!


***Major bummer! I just noticed that when I changed my URL all of my comments got deleted! Keep that in mind if any of you decide to change your url.
