[...] the past, I’ve faked the funk as a blogger and vow to never ever do it [...]

I was a young mama too (once) ;o) and yep, I completely agree with you about having to do this for yourself. Our husbands can’t do it for us, not our kids. But if writing is something that drives you and you have an honest opinion about yourself and the world – then that’s what draws others to us. I love the clarity I can sense coming from you through this post. It’s good to step back and reassess once in awhile. Otherwise this crazy blogging jungle could eat us up. Keep on keeping on Sheena.

My best, Lynn

Oh, I love this post. Only a handful of people read my blog so I don’t really worry about anything I write. However, I completely agree with you about the importance of sharing struggles. I think nothing really grows from silence and it is in sharing your story, if willing, that you really can make a difference no matter how small.

I started reading blogs because I was a young mom and just could not identify with the images out there of young mothers (esp young black moms) and only one of my friends has children so it felt kinda lonely. I found a lot of young Mormon mommy blogs full of sugary sweet images and while that is nice and inspiring but sometimes you just want to read a little more of story past the glossy images. I look forward to reading about the highs and lows of our journey, whatever you feel comfortable sharing. I’m just glad to have met another young momma through this virtual community.

Well Sheena I think that is the most refreshingly honest blog post I have ever read. There are countless bloggers writing about how wonderful everything is and thats ok, but sometimes life isn’t wonderful and sometmies we do feel as if its all just too much and we are being driven by things we don’t like or can’t control. Thank you for sharing your lows, it makes you a real person. You are young but you sound like you have a wise head on your shoulders and I am sure you will do very well. Stay true to what you want for you and your family, and I wish you the very best in whatever you do.

Nice space you have here. I had two blogs once, but couldn’t keep up. I went back and forth on combining them. I know it’s not for everyone, but I’m glad I did.
It’s always about what works best for you and what makes you happy.

Looking forward to reading more from you.

I know what you mean. I’ve been focusing more on me and who I am with my blog as well. I couldn’t stand “mommy blogging” anymore. Especially since my son is at school all day and we don’t really have our time together anymore. So there’s no point. And I’m to paranoid to put pics of my son online anyway xD

BUT I will be keeping an eye on this blog. ‘Cause I love reading your posts. :D Gonna add your link to my blog as well.
