I have been doing a lot of thinking lately (dangerous I know!) about my blog and its purpose.
You see, I was challenged to begin it as a way of telling my story and stories online. It is if you like, my life played out.
I know that I should attempt to find a niche, a topic, a neat little box to fit into and by doing so I could use numerous techniques to develop a following. The things is, that’s not going to work.
I write my blog about my life and my life doesn’t fit into neat categories or a niche. I am a wife, a mother, a teacher ( maybe ex?), Christian, book lover, product reviewer and occasional ‘Ooh an opportunity to blog’ type of person.
This isn’t a Christian blog but I will discuss my faith, this isn’t a mummy blog but I will talk about motherhood and baby products, this isn’t a book review blog but I will review books, this isn’t an educational blog but I will talk about teaching, students, young people.
This is my blog, about me, showing how my life is a number of different facets and aspects of a whole. I write from the heart and want to be me.
You are very welcome to join me in my journey, join me as I turn the pages and play out my story, but I won’t fit neatly into a category and I would love to apologise for that but I can’t.
Reblogged this on The Andrea Project and commented:

Brava! I feel the same way, especially after I attended a blog conference this wknd. 🙂
Thanks Rose!
Me too. I blog VERY occasionally and definitely don’t fit into any box!
Who wants to fit into a box anyway hey?
