Welcome to Day 5 of our Back to Blogging event! Hasn’t this been so much fun?
Today, our assignment is to answer the question: “Why Do You Blog?”
Here is Tiffany’s response:
For me it began with my son and continued with finding true and meaningful connections.
I started blogging as a way to “keep myself”. I know that sounds strange, but even more than chronicling my son’s life, I wanted to chronicle MY LIFE, for my son. Does that make sense?
One day, my hope is that he will look back on my blog and see me as a woman, a friend, a comedian, the chick that thinks his dad is smokin’ hot, a dreamer, a doer and so much more.
The connections I’ve made to other incredible women is what keeps me coming back, checking in, and participating in this blogosphere. I feel so incredibly lucky to have shared so much with so many.
So what about you? Why did you start blogging?

I blog for me … I (as of yet ) have few followers and I did start the blog as a personal outlet/come diary of my journey recovering from illness and depression and a huge huge amount of trauma ‘My thoughts out loud’ I had read a friends blog and thought wow this is good ive since started following many other bloggers and enjoy reading their on going stories. I think some times the depression theme within my blog scares people and i wish they would take the time to look and see that its actually ok depression is just a higher sense of pain insecurity and sadness but with the same subjects that all of deal with in everyday life. Blogging has helped me in many many ways even if i were to be my only follower or have no more than those few who have kindly looked in on my erratic random rants (thank you by the way bloggers) I love blogging have been helped by blogging and enjoy reading others blogs

Just posted my day 5 – I know it’s very late – but I had to finish it. Thank you all for all your support.
I started blogging because I needed an outlet but also a place that maybe, hopefully, one day would be found by others in similar “shoes”, and not feel ALONE. My baby boy has Down syndrome and it was the last thing I ever expected. I found out while I was still pregnant and I use my blog to process feelings, educate, advocate and hopefully provide awareness to a topic that most people (including myself, intially) are pretty in the dark about. It’s amazing to know that your experiences can positively affect people, and I hope I’m doing that…
I’ve been meaning to comment to this post, b/c I like it so much, even though it’s might belated. Blogging is current, it’s how you keep your ear to the ground. And as a mom, it’s a great way to get support

HI !
I blog to feel less alone with my illness, it’s a way to find and to give support.
It’s a way to be part of a communitu and talk with people who really can understand what you feel.
And it’s a way to feel active, like if I’m fighting my problems !!
