Yet so tricky. At least on the social media side.<\/p>\n<p>I think I have the same love-hate others have with social media. It&#8217;s FABULOUS to connect with long lost friends and to meet new ones, but &#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>I wish I could put my phone or my ipad down and just STOP. \u00a0It&#8217;s an addiction that I can&#8217;t break.<\/p>\n<p>Blogging? Well, thats a completely different thing all together.<\/p>\n<p>Some say you can&#8217;t succeed in blogging without social media and that may be true.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve blogged for YEARS, yet never knew I had readers until social media entered the picture and I found other blogs.<\/p>\n<p>Blogging gives me and outlet to write what I want, when I want with no real deadline.<\/p>\n<p>As long as I remember WHY I blog. I blog for me. I blog for my kids and for my husband. Not my readers. Not entirely. At least not here.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not sure I REALLY answered the question, but that&#8217;s my answer and I&#8217;m sticking to it.<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/storyofmylifetheblog.blogspot.com\/2013\/08\/blogtember-september-blog-challenge.html\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/i1131.photobucket.com\/albums\/m553\/jennilu07\/Blogtember200_zps4672ae9b.png\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wednesday, September 11:\u00a0Share links to your favorite online shops, preferably with a few photos of your favorite items in each shop.
