A friend of mine deleted her Tumblr blog after being harassed by some who had issues with the fandom they feel passionate about. I thought Tumblr was a cool and safe place for everyone. It seems it isn’t. I’m sorry she did that but it seems Tumblr has a way to go to become that place of open mindedness and true freedom of expression. Fandoms are highly personal things so when one is attacked because of uninformed people saying ignorant things then perhaps it’s time to run along. I’m glad to be on WordPress.

Something About Service
What someone does for someone else or an organization should be considered something of value. In many cases services rendered is a very valuable asset. Diminishing the contributions of those who work hard is not a good thing to do. I think people and what offer to a cause is the driving force behind a movement or a cause. You don’t get far without good people making things happen. A balance of praise and feedback can make the services better for all concerned. So when you are looking to build something up and make it even more valuable a good word or two can go a long way in advancing what you want to achieve.
Something About My Work At Blood Assurance
It’s been a very challenging couple of days for me professionally and a little personally. The work of me and my team at Blood Assurance our regional blood bank is vitally important to saving lives. Without our organization many peoples lives over the years would be in jeopardy. Yesterday and Today people of all races, creeds, nationalities and genders came to our doors to donate a huge part of themselves, their blood. Today I helped over 100 people set aside their time to come donate. Those folks are important in that they will have an opportunity to save 300 lives. That is something to be thankful for.
Something About Being Wrong
I’m never above saying sorry for anything that I do or say that is hurtful or offensive. I admit when I’m wrong about something. Reconciliation and forgiveness matter.
Something About What Makes A Blogger, Numbers Don’t Tell The Whole Story #wordpressdotcom
Blogging is a noun and a verb. It is something you do and is something you are. Your number of followers do not determine your value as a blogger because I think the quality of your connections is what matters most. Some bloggers have a large following while others have a few friends and neighbors tagging along. Don’t be discouraged if you don’t have thousands of people visiting daily. A blog that comes from the heart will tell a great story and will bring people along organically. Don’t worry about your stats especially if you are an amateur. It’s good to celebrate milestones of people following but don’t get hung up on that. Every blog has a place in cyberspace.
No two bloggers are exactly alike. Their mission and purpose are determined by the writer and curator. I think individuality matters. Be yourself within your blog and create posts in your own way. Be sure your blog looks alive and tells the reader something about yourself.
As a person who runs a personal blog I am not out to be wildly popular but to share my message with all who will hear it and will connect with me. Being happy with what you have and be proud of your blog.
The one thing I always say is keep on blogging!
Something About Being Short-Handed
Being short-handed is a opportunity to rally and come together as a group. This is a time to bring out the best in people or the worst depending on situation. We all have times when adversity is ever present and you have to work harder to get things done. Some days seem like you are always running behind. I have been in situations that call for me and those I work with to rise to a challenge. Now is the time to do amazing things and to show people what you are made of.
