I’ve been finding it difficult to be a blogger lately. I’ve no muse, no inspiration, no reason.
I’m a chicken and my head has been chopped off one too many times.
Well, I’m re-growing it. Again. Yes, apparently I can regenerate my proverbial chicken head.
I’m talking about BRANDING and REBRANDING.
I’ve been thinking about blogging. A lot lately. I’ve been reading and listening to everyone talk about brands and rebranding.
I’m regrouping. I’m rebranding.
When I started out blogging, I was a MOMMY Blogger. Well, that became boring. I love my kids but there is only so much I can write about them without sounding like I’m a horrible mother.
The thing that got lost along my bloggy path was who I am in real life. I’ve never really explored that. I’ve been shoved into a corner by judgement and I’m not going to have that anymore.
I discussed with my husband his thoughts on my idea about where I want to go with my blog. I explained to him that I have the need to share my life, not only to unburden but also, to get advice and be justified or lectured. I need to be able to freely talk about things I’ve kept inside for so long.
I NEED to be ME again on my blog.
My husband agreed with me, that this is my place to say and do what I want and need. He promised to have my back. That, when the haters start hating, he’ll nip it in the bud.
So, I’m shooting for after Blogher. I’m not changing my name or the look of my blog because, well…it’s awesome. But, I’m getting back to ME.
I’m my brand, right. It’s about my life. It’s time to start showing justice to my brand.
It’s time to start rocking and drooling again.
Because that’s why I have this place.
I’m a life blogger. Life blogging for me includes being a mom, stepmom, wife, skinny chick stuck in a fat chicks body, sex goddess(well, I like to think that of me anyway), and every other term that would describe me. Even BITCH. Which, I’m quite OK with.
I’m starting another blog for my short stories because that’s my passion.
I’m rebranding my brand.
I’m going to be me again.
The best brand I can ever represent.
Yay for you! Bring it and I will read! XO

I’ve been thinking the same lately, though I haven’t come out and said as much…I figure I’ll write what I want when I want and well, that’s really about it. (Too damn hot to think!)

Rada´s last blog post ..Fun with cherries.
That’s exactly where I’m at!! I started my blog 8 years ago about raising my son who has special needs but he’s 23 years old now soooo not as much to write about there anymore. I was in such a so-bored-you-can’t-make-me-write state about my blog. I then thought what you’ve written here. Here’s to fresh starts & being truly US!
Excited to see what you have in-store! Yay for Life Bloggers!!!

I think of myself as a personal blogger although at the moment I look like a mummy blogger because there’s so much about being a mother on there. But I think that’s life with babies and young kidlets. I’m sure over time it will change and I will be less and less of a mummy blogger.
Go out there and claim what’s yours sex goddess! And have fun at BlogHer! I’m trying to find sponsorship so I can make the trip from Australia to the US next year. Here’s hoping.

Yay! Life bloggers are my favorites. I like the real and the honest and the funny and the bitchy and the layin’ it on the line. Because that’s me and I like to know that there are other people like that out there too. It’s why I originally started reading your blog and I’m looking forward to this branding or rebranding or whatever it is.

I’ve been blogging life all along. Except for now because I’m not blogging at all, really. Which sucks, but is necessary. But I’m so excited to see “you” are blogging! Have a great time at BlogHer!

I say go for it!! Be yourslfelf, isn’t that what blogging is about?! Getting stuff out into the open,is really good therapy! Keep it up!
Right on. I know exactly what you’re talking about, and you know what? Who gives a shit what category you fit in? You’re a mom and you blog, so you;re a mommy blogger. You also have parts of your life that your kids aren’t involved in, but you’re still a mom. A mental mom, but a mom nonetheless. Rock on!
YAY!!!!!!!!my life has been so boring, got your back too!
You could write about the density of brass pipe fittings and I’d still read your blog. I’m sure your posts will be more exciting than that, so I look forward to the Rock and Drool Life Blog even more!
Sounds like a FANTASTIC plan because you my friend are wonderful! Can’t wait to see you at Blogher!

And have an awesome time at BlogHER….
