Having this blog gives me tremendous opportunities of reaching a lot of people around the world with discussions and tips relating to relationships, marriage, parenting, blended families, caring for elderly parents, child abuse and many others. Raising six children to adulthood in a single parent home, post-divorce, and keeping my sanity at the same time is a feat most parents couldn’t fathom.
Needless to say, having personal experience with these various topics, I have very strong opinions about parenting and relationships, what works and what does not, and I have the necessary audacity to shine a bright light on such things.
It’s been a real privilege for me to write articles on topics that mean so much to me, even submitting some of them to various blog carnivals and article submission sites such as Ezine Articles and Associated Content. There’s an immense feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction when discovering that people are not only Google searching for information and advice on topics I write about, but that they read and enjoyed my articles to the point of emailing them onto others.
Not only has it helped spread awareness about raising children to become independent, self-sufficient adults, it has also helped to increase exposure to my blog, as many people have clicked through embedded links in the articles bringing them to my blog and they have decided to stick around.
Welcome to all of my new subscribers!
While some submitted articles may be similar to those found on my blog, I’m not at all embarrassed or ashamed about it. I have often done online research on various topics and found exact duplicates of articles on various submission sites, and it didn’t bother me a bit. Some articles I’ve submitted are not found on my blog or any other site, as they are 100% exclusive to the site I’ve submitted it to. One exclusive article, “When children refuse to grow up”, was given very nice compliments by the on-staff editor. Although the topic itself is similar to those I’ve written about on my blog, the text is not duplicated within my blog or anywhere else.
Now that my blog is on Wordpress, I’m looking forward to offering other moms and dads opportunities to guest post here, as well as finding opportunities where I can guest post within my niche. In the meantime, I’ve been busy researching and preparing an upcoming post on the pressures and struggles of raising teenagers.
Oh Lord, I can feel more gray hair sprouting just thinking about it!
