I love to create, I love to learn, I love to expand my mind.
So I blog.
To me blogging is so much more than writing my feelings down. There are many other platforms and journals where I can do that.
I started blogging for selfish reasons. In fact it was a birthday gift to myself.
After pouring so much into my children, my husband and our home - I needed a space for me.
Growing up I was addicted to learning and constantly feeding my mind with new information.
In adulthood, I continue to crave knowledge and love the feeling of my brain lighting up.
Blogging does that for me.
It's not just about writing.
It was the process of creating a heart-led business that brings value to others.
So I came up with a logo.
I got it trademarked.
I pitched articles to other blogs.
I worked with vendors overseas to create products.
I contracted with local agencies.
This blog has afforded me so many opportunities, including speaking engagements and paid contracts.
But most importantly, it makes me proud of myself.
Every time I visit my blog it is something that I created from nothing.
This virtual address did not live here until I created it.
These images of beautiful chocolate babies, were not here until I posted.
A vision of a Black homeschooling family was not here.
It is something I can look at and feel proud of.
I blog because it is healing to me. It brings me clarity.
It forces me to sit down and clearly identify my life goals and why I do what I do with my family.
It keeps me on track. When I’m having a bad day, I will look back on posts like 10 coping skills for bad days.
I’ve noticed more conversations on breastfeeding, hair and homeschool as a result of it.
People have called to consult with me.
I believe these conversations are humongous steps towards building stronger families.
I’m proud of DommiesBlessed and I will continue to blog, because I owe it to our ancestors to document our journey.
Are you a blogger? What has blogging done for your? Let’s connect.
Until next time.
Love Thyself,
Have you set your homeschool goals yet? More homeschool posts you may love...
Curious to know which software I use for my blog? Wix has been super helpful. Its drag-and-drop design makes it easy for me to focus on creating content, instead of coding and and other technical skills.
