Just one year ago today I began my blogging adventure. I honestly didn’t think blogging was something I would want to do or have time for. My sister, close friends kept insisting I put my experience on a blog for others to read. Even acquaintances I shared my story with asked me if I had a blog where they could learn more. My sister wanted a place where she could send her friends and contacts so they could easily find information about Lyme disease.
Other Moms, I met along the way wanted a place where they could go to find encouragement to homeschool either while being sick themselves or taking care of their children who were sick.
There needed to be a one-stop place to go to in order to find the information needed about tick-borne diseases and to learn how to find needed medical help.
Blogging has helped me use my passion to get the word out about tick-borne diseases, it’s also taken my pain and turned it into something useful. It’s given me a purpose!
I love hearing how my blog is being shared with loved ones and how much it has encouraged my readers. The feedback I get from you encourages me to keep going and helps me know what information I should share. Sometimes I get discouraged and wonder if I’m spending time writing for no reason but when I get an email or a comment it really does encourage me.
Living with chronic pain and disease has been an experience I wouldn’t wish on anyone, but I know it’s a reality for many and so it is my joy to write and bring content that is encouraging and helps many people find the resources needed to understand Lyme disease.
If you have just a minute could you leave me a comment and let me know how my blog has helped you? What are your favorite sections or posts? What would you like to see more of in future posts?
I wouldn’t have a one year blogging anniversary without you. So thanks for visiting, reading, interacting with me and sharing my blog with others. I’m looking forward to what this next year has for all of us while we’re on this journey together.
