My Shorty: Your Chicago South Side Resource blog gets at least 1,000 views per month with at least 80% of those being new visitors. On the surface, this sounds great. However, there are absolutely NO conversations on my blog. I had considered reducing my posts to once a week, but I would feel bad about not sharing some of the information that comes my way .
I went through this whole thing about people not caring about what I share and questioned whether I should continue to put time into something that people don’t care about. The answer: It’s not about me. And ” to whom much is given much is required.”
Well, that just stinks doesn’t it?
The reality is: my purpose is to share information. Nothing more, noting less. The funny thing is, I wasn’t tripping on making money from Shorty (although it would be nice); I was focused on the amount of time I putting into this site that may not be appreciated. But when I really think about Shorty, it has never been about me. And I will get blessed just from the information I give. And, I have had great conversations and gathered great resources with a few of the people that have stopped by to leave comments.
What’s my point? I’m so over what was ailing me. In fact, I am more insightful than before I started my pity party. And, I’m going to do what I am supposed to do on Shorty while focusing on profiting from The Write Design Company.

Hi Marcie- It’s karma that I visited you today (and do try to comment) because I wrote something similar in regards to my purpose and passion for blogging @ my womanwise2,in view of little/no comments AND you know what? It’s definitely not about me. It’s about honoring my purpose!
(I do have Rick’s book)
Keep-a-going Marcie!
Best,
Clara.
Clara, thanks for stopping through. I’m going to check out womanwise2.
