All Blogged up...

 
 
All Blogged up...
 
 
I was happy to see Diana (A.K.A. Teacher Mom of two’s) post this morning on her blog regarding the Ultimate Blog Party 2014 There is always the question when you sit down to put a piece
together and ask yourself what are you doing this for? I can honestly say Diana that you (and I'm sure we spoke of this briefly early on) and a select few of other bloggers are the reason. What most of you don't know is that i developed my passion for blogging while off suffering from depression and anxiety from things both interior and exterior driven. It opened my eyes to a new to me way of expressing myself to an audience that can get to know the real me without putting stereotypes on the color or style of shirt I'm wearing or if I'm wearing the latest style.
     I blog about the everyday, the way i see it, those that influence it in the good and the bad. Those that know me will see that I'm passionate when reviewing products and put into it as much as possible and love the tech side of things. If it has a plug, takes batteries or powered for an alternate energy source, I either; own it, want it or dream about it. I have of course in my minds eye the most wonderful little family with a beautiful wife and DD7 at this point in
time and spend any possible moment that I can with them as nobody can take away memories made. I incorporate my home life into my blogging life as much as possible so people know not only me but my family. Many people have gotten me where I am in this industry such as yourself; Lena Almeida, Tenille Lafontaine, Stacey Martin, Julie Elsdon-Height, Wanda Lynn Young, Cathy Canton...Paula Shuck, Margarita Ibbott the list goes on and on but these few among others had taken time and still do to answer questions for me and help me out as they have been there. I belong to Blogging Communities such as Sharon Vinderline's PTPA (parent tested parent approved) as well as Erica Ehm's YMC (yummy mummy club).


     O.k. condensing now as I'm writing a post and NOT a novel..lol. My blog is www.answerthetullyphone.com and is an open ended blog. It is not a personal blog per say, although most of it is based upon my opinions, it also has other great information on it as well and your just going to have to drop in, say high and take a gander. Being new in this industry is tough and content will start out slow, however, I'm getting there and i thank you Diana for that and all the other bloggers even though not mentioned will know who they are. Something as simple as a quick tip in Blogger, wordpress or how to run a giveaway goes a long way people. If you take a couple things away from me during a twitter party or pick up from my blog is that i enjoy helping others more than you know, i love to have a laugh and create some fun and I'm as genuine as they come so take a second and pick up the Tullyphone and hope to see you at #UBP14 !

    Thank you so much for including me in this very impressive list. I do try to share information, and like you I have also encountered many wonderful people who helped me along the way. I think it is important to try to take a minute to acknowledge them since it is their very nature that makes their blogs (and yours) great too!

    Hey Matt, thank you so much for your kind words! As someone who has battled depression I "get" how freeing feeling useful again is!! You are such a kind, supportive person....thank you for being you.

    I knew I liked you right off the bat. Opening up and letting yourself be vulnerable to tell this story of depression is one more reason to like you. Thanks for including me here. You are a lovely person to know. I hope we have the opportunity to meet this year. Great blog ! I was so proud when you first started it. I wish you peace, good health and success. Soon I will be saying I knew him when he used to join in on the Linked moms chats.

    Dropping in from UBP. Enjoyed sampling your blog. I can relate to the part where you wonder why am I doing this anyway. It is a lot of work and rewarding at the same time.
