Identity
Ok, I haven't blogged in a while. I've been reading (and lurking around) others' blogs very faithfully, and have been wondering what sort of blog-identity (shall I coin a term? blog-dentity!) I want here.
There are college bloggers. Photo bloggers. Grad student bloggers. Mombloggers. Wifeybloggers. Single bloggers. I don't know where I fit, though--many of my friends are single and I'm uncomfortable blogging about being a young wife because I don't want to 'rub it in' too much, but that's what I think about most of the time anymore. I am not a photographer, and I don't want to be a wifeyblogger, talking all the time about how a woman's BEST PLACE is by her husband's side--don't get me wrong! I love being a wife! But I get irritated by writers who say the BEST THING and ONLY WORTHWHILE THING for a woman to do is be a wife and mother.
So I'm in a state of flux--
Any thoughts? Advice? Insight?

I think that married women have a lot to offer their single friends (and vice versa) without rubbing it in. I think its best to write about just who you are without worrying so much about other people, chances are your single friends wouldn't want you to keep such an important part of your life on the down low. : )
It's fun to look back on memories and stories like a journal. I've also posted before just looking for a discussion to start or for encouragement and ideas. It's great to be connected to so many people and to share with others.
Good luck on your search, don't over think it too much.

I love your heart. You are such a beautiful person and wonderful friend. It just shows in that you don't even want to blog in a way that would hurt people when most people find blogging as another way to do whatever they please. I personally love reading your commentary on life in the retail business. Your insights into people and culture are fascinating and I think you are a very good observer. But I understand not knowing what to write about because you are in a transistion time right now because you are looking for a job that really inspires you. I know before my recent move I had nothing to write about and people said, "Why don't you write anymore." I think that you shouldn't try to muster up something to write about but write when you are inspired. Thank you for your sensitivity and for not minimizing the "singleness struggle." Thank you for not trying to silence me with trite smatterings of "God is sovereign," and "Oh, don't worry, you're beautiful." Thanks for just loving me and being there for me. You are really one in a million.
