Blogging Truths Be Told: A Series in Review

You know what I thought would be a fun departure from the usual “Blogging Truths Be Told” fare? Well, do you?

Okay, probably not, but maybe so. Because you’ve probably read today’s blog title and may have a feel for what’s coming next.

And if you guessed that I’d be listing out ALL of the “Blogging Truths Be Told” blog posts in the series, you’d be absolutely correct.

I thought it’d be an eye-opening exercise for me to see all of the truths I’ve been presenting to you over the one and a half years I’ve carried this series. (Figured it might interest you as well.)

Yikes! Can you believe that! The “Blogging Truths Be Told” series has been in production for almost one and a half years. My longest-running blogging series EVER!

I honestly didn’t realize that it had been going that long, until I started today’s list. And the time has gone by incredibly fast. You know what they say . . . “time flies when you’re having fun.”

And yes, blogging has been the most enjoyable of all of the creative outlets I’ve been able to pursue, to date. I absolutely love it and can easily see another one and a half years of blogging about blogging in my content creation future.

So, I thought I’d present you with the lineup of what I’ve been discussing in blogging, since December of 2020 (when this series began). And if you missed any of the informational, hopefully inspirational, and sometimes entertaining anecdotes I shared in these posts, then you should go back and check them out.

They’re all still accessible posts filled with valuable Intel that you can take some morsels of nourishment from. And if you were worried that I would be engaging in interlinking madness by linking all 60 or so of my blogging series posts here within this one post, please stop your worrying. I intend to do no such thing.

I’ll just say that you can find all of the blogging truths under the “Blogging Truths” category on the “Home” page of this Degrees of Maternity site.

As a matter of fact and without further ado, let’s just get on with our blogging list of the day (all the titles of the blog posts from the blogging series on blogging) . . .

  • “Mission with Passion Trumps Limitations”
  • “Mission with Passion Trumps Limitations (Part 2)”

Wow! I’m kind of impressed with my commitment to the topic of blogging. I must say that it kind of gives me chills to see all the blogging on blogging posts I’ve put out on Degrees of Maternity over all these months. (And there are even some posts that I created before the series that I haven’t included here.) Guess I like blogging or something. Hee. Hee.

Can you tell I even appreciated exploiting the art of creating series within the series — hence, all the two-parters and the lone three-parter?

In all truthfulness, I don’t have any high lofty goal with this blog post in the category of sage wisdom other than . . . whether you’re new or old to blogging, I’ve got some reading material just waiting for you. And if you’ve missed a couple of, handful of, or most of these blog posts on blogging, it’s okay. They’re eagerly waiting for your click, so you can give them a good read.

Who knows? You just may find the blogging information, inspiration, or entertainment you’re looking for.

Happy Blog Reading!

  2. Oh, thank you so much, Kat. I think I had to put this post together more for me than anyone else. It was just a reminder to me that blogging is definitely a journey — but it’s been a journey (struggles and all) worth traveling (for me, anyway). I thoroughly enjoy this creative process and pray that I can get out another year and a half worth of blogging truths. We’ll see. Only time will tell. And thanks so much for taking time out of the busyness in your life to check out these truths of mine. Knowing there are wonderful people (like yourself) who are appreciative of my attempts to share keep me moving forward on this blogging journey. Thanks always for your encouragement. Your comments do my heart good.
