For the past couple of months I’ve been wondering if I should keep on blogging. Like most things, it takes me a long time to get a post done. I find myself thinking about or planning for my blog a little too often and I wonder if I’m getting sick of it. (Hypocrisy!)
I started blogging in on April 25, 2006. Here is my first spectacular post. (Please note the sarcasm). Since then I’ve moved my blog around from myspace, to facebook to gracebiskie.com & have finally found my home here on WordPress. I have posted a whopping 976 posts & had over 100,000 views! (Man, I wish I had started here!) I’ve blogged on every topic under the sun. 976 posts – that is a crazy number!
From what others tell me: I have given some hope, some encouragement, some solid challenges and I have made some angry & some annoyed. Either way, I have regularly enjoyed sharing a fraction of my life. Sometimes, maybe that fraction was a little too big. 
But, now I’m struggling to find my blogging voice. I’d like to have more of a targeted audience but I’m wary of alienating some people. (I.E. a blog just for women, or only about my faith, etc.) I wonder if my scatterbrained approach to blogging is working for you (or me for that matter). Yet, I’m hesitant to make too many changes too quick. Though, after 3 months of thinking about it I still haven’t changed my blog tagline yet — my inspiration hasn’t hit yet. Sue me.
Has this extrovert finally run out of things to say? Probably not, but it sure feels that way. I’m trying to keep in mind that I’m tired. And honestly, I’ve been barefoot, pregnant & tired all year. Now, I’m in this super intense phase of caring for a newborn less than a month old. That has to have something to do with the fact that my brain can’t keep coming up with new, exciting & engaging content day after day after day.
My friend Andrea suggested that instead of just throwing in the towel why not post once or twice a week instead of daily. I’m considering it. 
I’ll keep ya posted. (pun intended) If you have got ideas or an opinion, please share it…

Once or twice a week might work fine for you if you still decide to keep it up. If we all have e-mails sent to us when there is a new post we’ll know when to look. You’re in a very busy stage of life, and eliminating some things might reduce the stress! Continued prayers for your health and energy and for lot’s of other stuff, too!
you’ll get it back. the urge to blog will come at some moment, but i didn’t have it when i first had jesse either.
I LOVE your posts!! 976, WOW!! I think you do need to take a break, and concentrate on you and Rhys. Having a newborn alone isn’t easy plus you have Ran to take of!! If you take time for yourself and family for a few weeks, I think your blog ideas will begin to flow. You said it best yourself, you’re tired!! Think of taking a maternity leave from blogging (hahaha), everyone will understand!!
Your blogs have been inspiration to me on so many subjects, and you let me know that I am not the only one dealing with issues!! I love how honest you are as well!! Just a little encouragement to keep them coming (as often or seldom as you want), just don’t stop!!! Please….!!!
Love ya and praying for your energy, rest, and clarity!!
Thank you so much, ladies! I don’t think I will quit, I was discouraged the day I wrote this. The better thing to do would be to slow down & post less. Or post shorter posts. But I shouldn’t give up – I enjoy it so much & I love all the interaction with all the wonderful women in my life… what a blessing!
And since I wrote this post, I’ve got 2 new cool opportunities… including one for some new paid advertisements! wohoo!
