SHARING SATURDAY

One of Jan's personal photos from her blog.
Earlier this morning while visiting a few blogs, I noticed one that I normally follow had disabled her comments and contact section because of public disinterest.  When I saw that, it made me sad that a person who had started her blog about 3 years ago felt that no one cared.  Her posts are about lovely photos that she takes, and thought-provoking poetry, and to me they make an impact.  


In January this year, my New Year's resolution was to visit new blogs because I felt that if someone was willing to put their thoughts  and lives on display for the world to see, he or she had something to say.  For the first time ever, I've been able to keep a resolution because I wasn't crazy enough to do the dieting thing again that had always been an epic fail every dang year! 

Some topics from blogs and social media fit in with my lifestyle, and a few do not.  For me, it's the kindness shown, the finding of a new novel, the pics or places, the kookiness of the person, the outright anger that a person feels or simply the fact that I always learn something new that keeps me hanging out in other places.

So this Saturday is all about sharing some of the things I've seen throughout the blogosphere or social media as a shout out.  If I'm behind on  visiting your blog lately, or I'm late on commenting back, I haven't forgotten you and will get back on track soon.  Meanwhile, I hope this blogger friend sees this post and reactivates her comments again.  I see you Jan, and I care.

  2. That's a great thing to do. Some people don't realize though that in order to get people to come to your blog, you have to visit others and leave a comment. That's how most bloggers get comments and visitors.

    1. Hey There Marvelous Mary! You're so right. Sometimes it does take hanging out in other places to share and it does generate other visits. Big Hugs...and happy Sunday to you! Ro

  5. It's all about community, so it's strange when someone disables blog comments. I love those pictures, but I don't think I could do that walkway over the Grand Canyon. YIKES!

    1. I know, right? The Grand Canyon is a beautiful landmark, but that walkway does look a little scary, particularly if someone is afraid of heights. The pics are totally amazing, for sure Stephanie. Happy Sunday! Hugs...

  6. That's sad she decided to go about it that way so that no one can even try to comment or reach out. I hope she gets to feeling better and opens them up again. The photos really are lovely.

  7. Awww Ro! I love how open and honest you are. That's the bread and butter that makes this community so AWESOME! So good of you to take the time to make a post and shout out to Jan. :) Do you have her site name because I would love to connect with her so hopefully when she sees that people actually DO care, she will reactivate her comments. Great of you to do this RO! HUGE xoxoxo's!

  9. That is very sad! I hate when I come to a blog that I think is AWESOME and I want to share my thoughts on said post only to discover they've disabled the comments. It's a real bummer and totally a missed opportunity!

    1. You're so right Super Sarah! I'm thrilled to mention that she has reactivated her comment section. If you ever have time, give her a quick wave athttp://autumnheartwintersoul.blogspot.com/. She recently changed the title of the blog, but the URL remains the same. I sure hope you're feeling well these days. Hugs...Ro
