I like to start my mornings off with a little reflection. Sometimes it can be something as small as the previous day. What worked about yesterday? What did I do right? What could have been better? What really, really needs to change? And of course, sometimes it's about bigger picture stuff too. Life. Business. Marriage. But either way big or small, the point is always to be grateful, to give thanks, to learn from mistakes and to move forward.
This morning I was reflecting about this blog. About what it is, what it's meant to us, and what I want it to be. About where we are and where we're going. This month we will hit our highest number of visits to this blog. Ever. By a huge leap. Before that... last month was our highest number of views ever. Again by a really big leap. So things are growing super fast around here, which is of course awesome. But it also made me want to get a better handle on things. Because it made me realize, I have no idea who YOU are.
And as I sat doing this reflection, I sipped gingerly on my caramel hot chocolate (yes, I'm the only person on the planet who craves caramel hot chocolate in the dead heat of summer!) and thought about some really good advice we got from our friend Abby: know your readers backwards and forwards. Who are they? What do they like? What brings them back every day? What makes them want to share their lives with you? And I realized, I don't really know the answers to those questions.
So tell me....who are YOU? Are you a photographer, a bride or someone else? What brought you to us in the first place and what brings you back? What kinds of things do you like? What are you looking for in a blog? What would you like to see more of.Tell us anything that can paint a clearer a picture of who YOU are (because let's face it, you probably already know way more than you could ever want about us!) and one of you will receive a little sumpin' sumpin' from us.
And whoever you are, just know that we are thankful for you. Seriously thankful. And we are SO glad you're here!
