Rockin’ Mama…3000 Posts and Five Years Later

Posted by Caryn Bailey 15 Comments

As I sit here, trying to get a grasp on the fact that I’ve written 3000 posts since I started this blog 5 years ago, I feel like the words should be eloquent…that this post should be insightful…or at the very least, interesting. Some of you have been here since the beginning…others maybe just happened upon the site for the very first time. Regardless, I value each one of you who comes to this site, whether it be for tips on green living, recipes to engage your palate, the latest film review, support for navigating food allergies, or visual inspiration. And as I look over this list of all the reasons why you might come here, I realize that those reasons encompass who I am.

I won’t bore you with how I started the blog.  But just know that it’s here…in this space…that I rediscovered who I am and am constantly exploring who I want to be. My mother always told me that I would write, and as much as I disliked putting a pen to paper as a young girl, I look forward to the time I actually get to write these days.

People often ask me why I blog…why I started…and why I continue…

Some of my most meaningful relationships began because of this blog.  There have been tremendous joys and incredible sorrows. But if only one person read this blog, I would come back each and every day to write, because at the heart of the site is a desire to connect with people.

I happened upon this quote today while I was browsing the internet…it’s what I am constantly aspiring towards…

Readers subscribe to blogs when they provide an informational or entertainment value so great that it would be a loss to not subscribe to it. – Maki

This is post number 3000…here is to 3000 more!

    Congrats on your motivation to write 3,000 posts and growing. I don’t know how many I have written as I have quite a few blogs. I have been blogging since 2004, so I am sure my number is up there somewhere.

    I love that my blog and your blog has allowed us to meet not only once in person, but twice already.

    🙂

    Two amazing milestones–congratulations on them both! I’ve been blogging for five years as of this past March, but am a long way from 3000 posts (and sometimes wonder if I’ll quit before I get there). Keep up the great work!
