I quit blogging about two years ago when life got just a little too hard to be transparent in an internet forum - we said goodbye to my Granddaddy, my sweet dog Bree, and we began starting life in Baltimore in a more permanent way. So, when life stopped being "Esther and Jonathan have a temporary adventure in Baltimore" and started being "Esther and Jonathan settle in a strange city," I stopped with the blogging and stopped writing in my travel journal.
But recently I have experienced a couple of things that have spurred me on to undelete my blog and to revive it - hopefully! One is, I still miss and want to connect with my dear people who don't live near me (which is a lot of my dear people!). And the second is, I reconnected with a friend recently because she was updating her blog about her pregnancy - I learned so much from the things that she shared on her blog. She commented on Facebook and said, I wish you had a blog I could follow. I realized that although I am wary of posting my heart on the internet, there has been so much that I have learned that maybe I should pass along. So! Therein lies the inspiration. Oh yes - and now I have a wonderful son who supplies me with endless opportunities for cute pictures to post :).
If you're looking for Liam's Birth Story, I'm publishing my notes from my journal with the date (and time!) they were written.
Blogger friends, how do you find the balance between honesty and privacy?
