Blogging is a powerful tool, and it means different things to different people. What does blogging mean to you?
For me...I was never a "tech-savvy" woman, so a few years ago blogging would not have even been possible for me. But now blogging is easy, it's free, and best of all you don't have to know or understand "code".
I started blogging as a writing exercise. I wanted to work on my writing, so I could possibly become good enough at it to be published. I thought blogging was a good way to do that, and it turns out it was. If I had been just journaling writing exercises in a notebook, there would have been no "obligation" to do it several times a week, and I could skip a week or two without anyone noticing. I'm sure I would have never kept it up. But, the fact that people were actually reading what I was writing in my blog, was motivation to continue.
Now(almost a year later), I see blogging as a powerful tool, and a doorway for my voice. Blogging has opened up opportunities, that I never even realized were available to me. Through blogging I am growing into a person who I never thought I could be, and I like that person. When physical disabilities limit your contact with the outside world, blogging can open up that world to you again.
The thing I like best about blogging is...It's not just one thing, it's everything and anything you want it to be. What is it to you?
