From Kim:
Thank you so much for sharing that link to the post about blogging. I resonate with that so much. I haven’t blogged much lately because I’ve felt inadequate as a blogger. When I first started blogging the community was so different and the blogs were so different. I love aspects of what blogging has become today, but I feel sad that it has made me feel bad about myself in some ways. I can’t post often enough, my pictures aren’t gorgeous, etc. I realize that kind of thinking is stupid and feel bad that I’ve let it affect me that way. These days I”m happy just putting something out there when I want to and not worrying so much whether it’s Pinterest quality.
