Feeling Lighter

 

Hello and welcome to MamaWit Haven! If you are here from my old blog, it is so good to see you again! If you are new, welcome! Either way, if you like the content I would love for you to follow me. Just scroll down the sidebar a bit and hit the Follow button.

I know it may seem insignificant to some, but I am feeling a lot lighter now that I have all my posts from the other blog transferred here. It was a lot more work than I thought it would be, with the different block formats, and making sure all the links to posts within the blog were re-linked correctly. It was a lot of work that I had put into many of those posts, and I didn't want to lose them! I was worried I wasn't going to have time to get them all before I lost access, but I have finally made it with a little over a week to spare! I am celebrating with an extra cup of coffee.

With the other blog, I think it's a tad obvious, I got burnt out big time. I started feeling too obligated to keep it up, and that's never good. I had started out just wanting it to be what it was...a way to share my life a little bit with anyone who could be inspired by what I wrote. I love writing. I also love Jesus, homemaking, homeschooling, being a wife and a mother. So why not tie it all together in a little corner of my own? Then I suddenly found myself in a few groups with collabs and deadlines. Now don't get me wrong! There is nothing wrong with those groups, and I really got to love some of the ladies I came to know through them. Those groups are really good for those who have a focus on where they want their site to go and want it to grow. And I got caught up in that for awhile. But, that wasn't really the intended purpose of my blog. I just wanted to write from the heart how and when I felt like it. To share my thoughts and share the little bit that I know. And definitely have fun doing it. Now that I'm back to a more "basic" blog, all those things are exactly what I intend to get back to.

So, yes, I am SO HAPPY that I have that final obligation behind me. And I can't wait to get back to blogging MY WAY. But, for this week, I am going to enjoy my family and celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I pray you are all well and doing the same. Merry Christmas!
