Hello Friends!!! As you may (or may not have) noticed, I have been a bit absent from the blog world lately!!! My heart just hasn't been in it lately...and I am not so sure as to why!!! Maybe I have been too busy, too little free time and too much work to do, the new job, the laundry, or maybe I am just in a funk...but no matter the reason...the passion is just lacking at the moment to sit and write. The passion to fish will always be there...but the passion to write...not so much!!
I have been pretty busy lately...and so I attribute most of my funk to that!!! Getting into a new routine with the new job and meeting some great new folks have made my days a bit busier than they used to be!!!
I am just writing tonight to let you know that I will be keeping up the hiatus from the blog world for the next few weeks. When I started this blog, I did it because there were hardly any women bloggers and certainly there were none quite like me!!! I loved it and the people I met and I still do!!! I love all the friends I have made and cherish each and every one!!!
These days blogs are used as a marketing and promotion tool for lots of reasons for lots of people...less information and fun more what fame can I get from this...but you know...I don't wanna be famous and I don't wanna get rich...I just want to fish!!!
Sometimes, as a side effect, recognition comes from passion...and that, my friends, feels awesome!!! To find people who read your words just because you love something so much, is the greatest feeling in the world!!! However, when the need for recognition becomes more important than the passion...it is time to step back and re-assess. Lately, I have been a bit disenchanted with some of the newer blogs...(even in the fishing world although there are some super great new ones out there by some rockin fishergirls) but this disenchantment causes a lack of interest for me sometimes, and when I find my interest lacking I choose to take a hiatus and renew and rejoice in the simple task of doing what I love.
Getting back to your roots is the best way to renew your energy and move forward with renewed vigor for your passion...whatever it may be!!!
I will be maintaining my Facebook Page and my Twitter Page so feel free to keep in touch there for a while :) Happy summer my friends!!! Spend it with those you love doing something that you love to do!!! I will be back soon better than ever with a fresh new outlook...and maybe a whole new look for the blog!!!
FISH ON MY FRIENDS!!!

ReplyDeleteI will always be here and I look forward to your writing in the future..stay gorgeous as ever and know Im here for you.
ReplyDeleteIts hard to maintain the same level of interest in blogging/writing. I tend to only write when I am passionate about it. If I am not, I don't write. Take a break, enjoy your summer, catch a big one and come back to it later when you are re-charged!
ReplyDeleteI love looking forward to your posts and updates, they were great. Opportunities come along to do other things, Good Luck on your new job. You will always have a passion for fishing and one day come back to the Blog. keep us updated!
