Posts From My Heart
Sometimes sharing from the heart isn’t always easy and I find myself holding back what I post. In today’s world, people can be very judgmental and before seeing things from multiple perspectives, people tend to quickly make assumptions.
Honestly in today’s world, I think it is hard for any blogger to post anything beyond the superficial, unless they fit to a certain mold. All of that can make writing, blogging, and sharing… difficult.
Sometimes, people skip the long heartfelt posts… which I understand… people are busy! I’ve been guilty of this… so seriously… no judgement, but knowing that we live in a world of quick and instant gratification, taking the time to share major thoughts, well… it can be hard to do. However, I have decided to be a bit more open with my thoughts and feelings in my blogging, and we will se what happens!
Anyway, that is what this category is… my from the heart posts. Some might be sappy, we all have those days, others might just be topics or ideas I am excited or passionate about… and honestly… who knows what else, but they will be here, and I hope you will come back from time to time!
Don’t be shy!
Sharing lightens the load sometimes… so feel free to comment on any of my posts (shared experiences or multiple perspectives are great) or head over to Facebook, Instagram, or search @bemandfam… and share with a bigger community!
