How can it be that I’ve been with WordPress.com for twenty years? Now, I haven’t posted here for twenty straight years. I was posting elsewhere like Tumblr and Google’s Blogger platform among others. To everyone who has visited here, read my posts, interacted with me, and shared their stories I thank you. This is a great community. Blogging is very much alive in the hearts and minds of those who believe in its power to tell a better story and share more.
Keep on Blogging Good People!
WOW, it’s hard to believe I have been registered with WordPress for 15 years. I haven’t been blogging here all those years, but I have been around full-time for awhile now. Thanks for your interest and interaction with me over the years. Let’s keep on blogging together.
My domain is renewed for another year of blogging and fun. Sure, WordPress has had some interesting developments but I am good to roll with the punches. Connection, communication and conversation are important things when blogging and I am glad I have a platform to do all that here.
Thanks to you all for continuing to support me, like my posts and connect here. Keep on blogging good people. Love and peace.
Well you get to see my words and musings for another year. I am proud to be powered by the great folks at WordPress.com. They focus on the heavy lifting so I can just create, connect, and communicate. Thank you all for your kindness, support, comments and visiting this little corner of the blogosphere.
Grace and peace to you all. Keep on blogging good people. Blogging is the way.
I wanted to do something different than just a blog and to challenge my ability to take a stock theme and customize it to the way I wanted it to look. Using the Sela theme that is somewhat light and airy I tweaked it using some CSS and gave it the Tony touch. The blog functions as a website as well as a blog so I have the best of both worlds. Let me know how you like it and is it easy to navigate. Thanks for putting up with my changing stuff around. As long as you can read it on all your devices that is what I am going for.
Whenever you post anything you then wait for some sort of response to what you have created. Sometimes the wait is very short and other times the wait is very long. One should never expect 100% positive comments to ones post but when a person comes in hot with some really negative space feedback then it kind of jars you makes you feel like perhaps you should have said something different.
Here’s how I respond to negative space feedback…I delete it. Yep, delete immediately. This blog is here to promote positivity (but realism definitely has its place here) and I want to make that point clear for everyone. Yeah I am a sensitive person that’s why I take time away from Facebook when things get too hot there. My blog is a refuge, a haven and I don’t want to respond to negative stuff.
I will never get personal or attack anyone however I do reserve to be righteously angry about injustice, hatred and that sort of thing. When you write something personal and meaningful to you I think there should be some safe space and perhaps saying nothing is better than going negative.
And yet we all wait for the feedback and hope that its good, constructive and helpful.
