For me the answer comes in a few different forms. My main source of energy is my friends and family. They have been so supportive of me from the time I found out I had Celiac, to when I knew that I wanted to blog about it. They have been there for me with every Fertility hang up and every loss that I have had. Without them I don't think I would have even lasted as long as I have. My Husband has been my biggest supporter, I know that I could not have come this far without him.
My secondary source of energy comes from knowing that I may be helping someone. While it can be a real challenge to get people to answer questions on a post, or to even know who is reading, I keep hoping that someone out there is getting something from my posts. That they enjoy the recipes, that they have learned from my mistakes and that they have found good products or that they have been able to avoid others. If I can reach enough of those people then I feel I can make a difference.
I also talk about my infertility and health issues, I want those women to know that they are not alone in having one miscarriage after another, or that they are not the only ones who can't lose weight no matter how little they eat, or who go crazy when their hormones get out of balance, which happens a lot. Also it might help those that are having these issues and do not yet have a diagnosis.
So in answer, I get my energy from both my friends and family and from the hope that I might be able to help. Also, with the New Year, I feel some of my Energy Renewed, I had more entries in a giveaway then I would have dreamed possible at this stage in my blogging, I have a whole bunch of fantastic products to try, I am getting ready for my Valentine’s Day Gift Guide. I have so many plans; my only hope is that I will be able to build enough readers to get more of these ideas out.
Question of the day!
Where do you get your energy?
Some of my energy comes from within - knowing that I can make a difference for someone else helps me go-go-go!
ReplyDeletemy energy comes from coffee lol and my family and friends :) great post!
ReplyDeleteI get most of my energy from music.. and caffeine... got to have the caffeine. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI find a lot of strength from my family too. I get most of my energy from myself though. I find that I need to actually take the time for myself though in order to get the energy I need!

ReplyDeleteGreat post. I get mine from music mostly but can't do without caffeine too. Music gets me going going going! :)
ReplyDeleteYOu are so lucky to have a supportive husband! Many (most) women I know do not have the support of their husbands and this can be incredibly draining. I know what you mean about comments on your posts. I relly do believe that people have no idea how much it means to a blogger to get a bit of feedback or a simple response to let you know that you are being read or that you have been a blessing to someone through your experiences. You have so much to give readers who need to know that they are not alone. I hope that you keep up your energy to keep writing - and People. . . Comments please :)
ReplyDeleteIt's really fantastic that you have such a strong support system. Many people aren't that lucky!
ReplyDeleteIt's great that you have such a strong support system. Lots of people don't have that! And yes, I agree. Comments are great to see!
ReplyDeleteYay! We both picked lightning pics for our posts. :) We also have similar health problems. Nice to meet you.
