If I'm honest, I will admit that there are times I post things to get a reaction. It may be to 'ruffle feathers' or in hopes to shine a positive light on me or my parenting, etc.
I've been thinking a lot about why I blog. And I think there's a lot of value in blogging.
In my particular case, it helps to showcase my photography so that my clients can see a preview of my work.
However, I believe I have a bit of a platform having a 'business-based' blog. People come to my website for photography, but hopefully will come across a post on Jesus, charity, parenting... things I'm passionate about. I've been praying about how I can stay true to my motives in blogging, and to not find my worth in the feedback people may leave (or not leave). With all of that in mind, I have decided to disable the 'Comments' section of my blog.
Please know that I still value your communication and if you have a question, concern, or simply want to dialogue, you can communicate via the 'Contact Me' tab.
I am continuing to pray that I post with intention: to provoke thought, creativity, passion, and ultimately reflect the goodness of my Savior.
