For me, success isn't about numbers or subscribers or followers or money coming in. For me, success is my healing and how my writing and ability to express what I'm experiencing/feeling have improved over the years. It's a shame that the NYT didn't "get" that point.

Thank you for helping me be a better "adoptive" mom and guiding me through our journey too, teaching us about the emotions and feelings that birthparents experience. Helping me to be a strong advocate for open adoption. Reminding me that we are all human and need to be there to use our experiences (successes and mistakes) to help and guide others and educate the world.

They defined successful blogging in terms of revenue and numbers of readers. But there is a whole other side to blogging that's more akin to the restorative, healing power of keeping a journal. Even if not a single person read my words there would still be value in getting them out. Some times we need to work through more on the page than other times.

Well, for things that you have passion for... otherwise I think you do eventually "run out" of the desire to do something. You can't force it. Either you've got it or you don't. I'm rambling.

My adoption blog runs hot and cold but I do it for me, to process, to grieve, to heal, to understand and recover as best I can from my adoption experience. Some times I need to write alot, others times I need to avoid alot, other times it is sommewhere in between. Totally get this.
