  1. Resolutions!

    January 25, 2011 by Michelle

    This blog has truly been neglected and it is one of my new year's resolutions to make sure it doesn't happen again!

    There has been lots going on since I last posted – my daughter has just hit the terrible twos, my business partner and I have started up a new business called huckleberry hill which has been taking a tonne of my spare time plus I have been brainstorming another venture.

    So I have had to sit down and think about whether I really had the energy to continue this blog amongst everything else that was going on and have decided that I want to give it my best shot! And I have also decided to throw the rule book out as to what to blog about. When I first started this blog, I wanted it to be all about business and then I changed my mind and wanted it to be about motherhood and mindset. But rather than be pigeonholed into a particular category, it is going to be about whatever takes my fancy! It will still have smatterings of business life through it but also other, lighter matters – basically, there are no rules!

    So hopefully you'll come on this new journey with me :) Look forward to having you on the ride…

  2. Blogging – Why Has It Increased Exponentially In These Last Few Years??

    July 2, 2009 by Michelle

    If you go to WordPress.com on their home page they have the latest stats:

    192,524 new posts, 284,383 comments, 50,748,132 words today.

    Blogs today are exploding in popularity and the rate at which they are springing up does not seem to be slowing down anytime soon.

    So it brings me to my question: Why has blogging increased exponentially? And I figured that the best way to answer it is to look at why I started blogging. Of course, the reason why people start blogging will differ -some people blog for the money, others for the enjoyment and some to reach out to people with similar interests, beliefs or experiences.

    But personally, for me, blogging is a way to express my thoughts and share my experiences. It is quite cathartic to send my thoughts into cyberspace on a regular basis. A part of me also gets a thrill from connecting with others and hopefully building a rapport.

    The explosion of social networking (facebook, myspace, twitter etc) over the last few years is a sign that more and more people are keen to reach out to others. Ironically though, the more time we spend on these sites, the less time we have to connect with people face to face. I am only hoping that when my daughter grows up she will have a balance of the two.
