I cut my fringe. It is crooked. I don’t mind.
Hello! Hi! Let’s have a chat. Shall we?
Being a blogger is so great. It’s a great way to journal your life and the things you do. For me it’s also a great way to share good stuff and teach people things I have learnt. I’m pretty much all about that, to tell you the truth.
These are times of famous bloggers and blog monetization. Bloggers are TV stars and pop-up designers and advocates for all kinds of things. I’m not talking about Australian bloggers (although this is starting to happen here too), so don’t think that I am pointing the finger at anyone, m’kay!?! Lots of bloggers are using their blogs as a springboard to all kinds of things, making friends with brands they love and working alongside people they super admire. Go them!
For me, it’s quite tricky navigating the more commercial side of blogging. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that my voice is more authentic and my blog is better because it’s less commercial. I don’t think that at all. It’s more that I’m still working out the best ways to make my blog my job and make it work for me (and my really ace readers.)
In the mean time, my blog is a thing for you and me. It’s our thing we do together because it’s neat. Pretty simple stuff, right?
I feel really lucky that you guys stick with me. My blog has become less personal over the years as I’ve tried to adjust to my family’s need for more privacy (and my own!) I know you can probably understand that. I’ve tried to balance that with lots of tips about OTHER great people, beautiful things and how-to-make-stuffs. If you are still reading, I am super glad. That’s the best.
My readers are my reward. Yep.
SO… let’s go with that theme and make this a Reward Post.
Except, ahem, YOU reward ME. *titter*
If you could leave me a comment, tweet my blog link, Instagram something about my blog, click the little heart below the post… do SOMETHING to say hello I would be SO HAPPY. I would be even more REWARDED. Yep. If that’s possible.
I’d love to know who or why you are here. Do you think you could do that? Truth be told, I’m feeling a bit weary this week and I’d love a cheer squad. Sometimes it’s really good to know who you are blogging TO, ya know? When you are wondering what it’s all about.
Thanks. And also, I love youse. Please send me rewards of the hello kind.
