Short ramblings.....

Two posts today

first I just wanted to

ramble/rant a bit...

I love reading blogs.

I find them inspiring for my creative mind

and

also just on a human level it is great to relate to others.

I know people change.

I'm changing myself.

I guess I have just gotten bored with a few

blogs that I used to find tremendously inspiring.

They used to write about their daily struggles, happiness, families and creative endeavors,

sharing their artwork,photography,etc.

Some of them are going more into the business end of things

for themselves.

I don't mind the sidebar ads, etc.

But

when the whole blog shifts from 

why people liked you in the first place

to 

pretty much only

trying to sell you and your friends classes

daily blog posts as to what is on sale in your store.

I hate that we have lost YOU.

I know your creative wares represent you ...

but

every platform you have does not have to be about selling them.

Pinterest, your blog, your Tumblr, your Etsy store, your separate website. 

Some of the reason people were drawn to you in the first place

was your sharing of yourself.

I'm just saying...
