What To Do

Lately, I’ve been debating on what I want to do with this blog. What direction I want to take it in.

I started this blog over at a wordpress.com forum roughly two years ago. I wanted to be a resource for military spouses out there, and to be a VOICE for what our lives entail. I think, for the most part, I’ve done a pretty good job at it. My hits have been soaring, and I’ve met a lot of great spouses through this outlet.

But I feel like I’m missing something.

There’s no real format to this site. It is what it is — me bitching about life, more often than not, while throwing in some random stuff every now and then. Don’t get me wrong — it’s given me a lot of great opportunities, and again, I have met some really great people. People that have helped me through some really hard times. People who have turned into real life friendships, that I cherish more than anything.

But I feel like starting over. Or at the very least, doing a major overhaul to what this site entails. A new look. A new meaning. More purpose. More direction. Less randomness.

I feel like I’ve pigeonholed myself. That I’ve turned myself [at least on this site] into *just* an army wife. And that goes against everything that I feel and what I believe in. And what my initial purpose was! Maybe I’m wrong, and maybe you all can tell me otherwise. But somethings gotta give.

I won’t do anything rash without giving fair warning I promise. But I have a lot of stuff to figure out. And some decisions to be made. But I think, in the foreseeable future, that there may be a temporary closing of business [just on the front end of things!] while I do some work to the site and come up with a new plan of attack.

I definitely won’t stop writing, that’s for sure. I can totally promise you that. This has been such a wonderful outlet for me, and I thank ALL of you for coming by and reading my ramblings. All the comments, all the emails, all the friendships that I have formed — it means a lot. I need this place for therapeutic reasons. But, as I said, something just needs to change.

So — be on the lookout. Good things are on the horizon. I promise
