I cannot believe that I am (finally) writing my Yakezie member post. It’s been a really long, thorny and unstable road for me. What for some challengers usually takes six or eight months of the challenge, took me more than a year!
I was in and out of the blogging world sporadically. But every time I left, I was coming back. My husband, Beaker, told me once that I reminded him of a crazy person. He said “Do you know the definition of insanity? It is doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting a different result.”
I had to admit that I reminded myself of an insane person who obsessively opened and closed blogs. Looking back, I know what was driving me. I was (insanely) searching for my own writing voice and on-line personality.
Lessons I learned about myself while I was on this barb-wired road I call blogging were invaluable. I re-discovered myself in writing. I understood how I handled stress (or did not handle it.) I learned what is important and what is secondary. Most importantly, I learned how essential relationships, friendships and networking are in blogging.
I met and became friends with a lot of extraordinary people. Without support of those people, I would not be writing this post.
My blogger’s name is Aloysa, and I am the creator of My Broken Coin.
