It sounds like you are in an exciting new season with your blog!! :) I can completely relate to your comment about finding and keeping community. I think that there are a TON of demands on bloggers and we all have lives with demands and responsibilities. It can be a hard balance to find and keep community in the bloggy world while balancing "real life" world! I admire the bloggers that can manage to have 50 million friends and community in bloggy world while balancing their real lives. I personally have found that for me it is great to be involved in community and groups and then invest in getting to know 2-5 people in bloggy world. This for me has provided me with some very deep and lovely friendships that are a blessing! Not sure if that will help or not, but thought I would pass it on!<br />Blessings, Rebecca :)<br />p.s.

You are so welcome about my comment about blogger vs. wordpress! I think that those comments about switching to wordpress are so overused and am glad to know that I am not the only one that has felt that way!! I really think, as I said, that everyone has to choose what is right for them personally and that no matter the platform you can be a blogger who is taken "seriously"!

Sometimes I will venture from my posts about infertility or marriage or faith but that is mainly what I write about. When I first started getting involved in the Peony Project, I saw so many girl posting about fashion and weekly roundups in pictures and I felt overwhelmed. I felt like I would never fit into that mold. But I have found so much freedom in just sharing my heart.
