DISQUS

Usually when I get into trouble, it is because I have made things too complicated. Simplicity is best. Like someone else said I am a recovering perfectionist. I like simplicity and authenticity. What I am still learning is how to do honest with kindness. I can come across as too forceful.

I visited your blog today because of your interview done by Stephen Hopson. Great interview. I will be back to read more. I appreciate the information in this article. I just celebrated my first anniversary as a blogger on June 1 and am still in the process of building my subscriber foundation. I recently passed the 150 mark. Consistently I am between 130-150 daily subscribers. It has been a slow, but constant upward climb. Mine is a small niche blog about my spiritual journey and recovery from incest so my story line doesn't always a happy setting. I write to reach out to other survivors to give them hope and let them know that the world can be a safe and loving place.

I read a few technical based blogs to learn how to stuff about computers and blogging. I have been a fan of Stephen's for less than a year. Heck, 2 years ago I didn't even know what a blog was. So to use an old commercial saying for myself, "You've come a long way babe." Have a glorious day. I intend to.

Hi. Checked out your site from ProBlogger weekly article on declutter. I have a Most Popular Posts list on my sidebar that I recently included because of a site review that was done on another site that said the reviewer usually checked out the articles from the Most Popular Posts before she read any other articles. I check out my feedburner stats once a week to see what the top 5 most read posts were and those are the ones you will find on my Most Popular Posts list. The reviewer has this list on her site and she has a large number of subscribers after only a year of blogging, plus I like her site.

Linc, have you ever heard of the book, The Secret. It is great to read when we are feeling down and low and think that God is the one who doesn't care about us. From my own experiences, and I have been where you are, it isn't God that turned his back on me. God is standing behind me just waiting for me to turn around. If you want to see where I come from, check out my blog. I know what it is like to hate myself and God. I also know the lessons that I learned from it were some of the most powerful in my life. With your words of discontent, you are creating more discontent. What do you like about your life right now? Even small things can help pull you up out of the hole that you feel that you are in right now. Find others that love you, until you can learn to love yourself. God is patiently waiting. Sorry if I sound preachy. Didn't intend to. I know that I will change only when I am ready. That applies to all of us. Create the life you want by loving yourself. If you love yourself, the rest will come.
