Public or Private? I really appreciate all the comments I recieved on whether to go private or stay public and I came to this conclusion. I will keep my Jacobs blog public because I want to be able to share with all who want to read. But I have created a private blog called Watching for Shooting Stars, where I will occasionally post more personal stuff for just my closest friends to read. Brilliant! If you want to be included in this invite only blog please email me.
And I am public again.

Dear One, never let fear be the reason you do or do not do something. You can't control the world around you or what others think of you or your thoughts. If you step out into the world each day inviting blessing and goodness and think only on these things, chances are, you will attract such into your sphere of influence. You are surround by a Good and Wholesome Light in your relationship with The Lord and all His Angels. Though you want to look both ways before crossing the street, your heart can be content knowing you are safe and all is well. Why put your trust in The Holy One if you do not believe that you walk in His Light and you are safe? To be weirded out because your light is attracting others to you....?What's that all about? You can live in a world, believing that it is evil and you are in danger or you can live in a world, which you believe is basically good and you are safe. What's that saying: "Consider the lilies of the fields...." Some blog because it is their personal diary and they do not invite anyone to share, others want to share. You can choose to share anything you want and with whom you wish. Don't you love choices? hugs, Aunt Katie
Hey Jen,
I'm interested in hearing what other people have to say on this one, too. My reason for not making my blog private (yet) is that I want people to know what's going on for John & me...that's why I started the blog. My blog isn't a diary, a journal, or anything that is filled with personal information that I'm not comfortable with the "public" knowing about. I am careful to share only that which John & I are comfortable with anyone knowing. I guess I want our blog to be available for family/friends/friends of family to read without feeling guilty that they are "stalking" me. :) However, that is not to say that I won't change my mind someday. I would like to know what the reasons are for those who have chosen to make their blogs invite-only.
my honest feelings, its annoying. I love blog stalking, jk, well sorta. heres my take. i love looking at the transparency of others and the lives that they are choosing to live, choices they make, and expierences they are living. i think that blogs can be encouraging, informative and just plain fun. i look at so many peoples blogs but only choose to comment on my friends that I still keep in contact with. i just recently became aware of how many people view my blog and don't leave comments, and at first i was a little caught off guard. but then i just thought, this is me, this is who i am and if people would like to peek then I'm okay with that. this all comes down to personal comfortability and jen if your not comfortable with other people checking out your blog then you shouldn't think twice about it. go with your gut, it's your blog not any one elses. these are just a few of my ramblings, you know i'm never one to shy away from them. hope your well and lets get a date on the calendar for catching up over some coffee sometime here in the next week or so.
Here is my personal reason... I dont want people I dont know having access to personal information about my kids. Simple as that. I personally feel more comfortable knowing those who are looking know us personally. I would LOVE to have an invite sent to me by the way!
ps, It all started for me when I got some wierd comments from people I didnt know AT ALL and it was on a post about Natalie. At that point, I felt like I needed to go private.
I am with Tonya, I got a random comment from someone that I was not comfortable with them commenting on my blog. I want to protect my kids and that is why I did it.
