I have been gone.
I would really like to thank a couple of my readers....Badgermomma and Angela. Your kind thoughts meant a lot!!
As many of you may or may not know...I started this blog as a way to chronicle my depression. I have manic depression and some times it gets the best of me...
I do not have a specific reason I stopped blogging...and I do not have a specific reason I decided to start up again...
I do have a few things that I will be changing....
I can not devote hours upon hours to giveaways and prizes. I may occasionally post a review of a product that I like...but I am not gonna stress over time lines and returned emails...
I envisioned my blog to be a dialog of women who have issues that they would like to talk about...a safe place to vent or a safe place for me to vent and hopefully through my venting someone will read a post and think..."well, shit that happened to me yesterday..."
I found that I was censoring my posts because I did not want to offend a potential PR firm...and I found that I had no 'true' readers. I felt that none of the connections that I had made were true connections.
I would rather have 5 readers that TRULY want to read my posts than 600 that do not really care what I have to say.
I hope that whoever reads this is happy I am back and I hope that you continue to read...I have lots of new stories and a few issues to vent about...
Thank you,

I am happy you are back, and I could care less about the giveways. Id much rather read meaningful posts. Good for you for deciding to do it your way!!!
Bravo.
AND
"Shit that just happened to me yesterday! I am under blog change too!" Welcome back!
I knew I had real readers!!!
To hell with censoring! I think it's great that you decided
to come back and post what's really on your mind some time :)
Hope you're doing well, and that your blog is all that you want it to be.
Glad to see you back!

I'm thrilled that you're back. :D
I'm here for you.
It was good to see your name pop up on my email. And yes, it has happened to me all week. Just read my post this week! It is so easy to fall into a deep depression. Keep your head up and remember (this is from my mom)
Don't let any one turn your green light red.
And I used to have this posted on my door at work..(not sure why I took it down)
Remember:
Everything is alright in the end, and if it aint alright..it aint the end..
Take care and glad to have you back..don't stress over posting anything, just be you!

Well crap!
I wrote a whole bunch of stuff and it didn't post!
Main thing is don't let things get you down..(how easy is that to SAY?) Harder to do!~
I was glad to see your name pop up on my email. I missed seeing it. Don't stress over the giveaways, just be YOU! And yes, it has happened to me all week.. take a look at my post this week.
Take care,
Charlene
I've been reading/hearing this from a few blogs lately, and I feel this way too. I think we start the blogs, then get recognized, and then feel weird about being ourselves; feeling the need to be cheerful all the time. I had a website for ten years and sold it because I realized I wasn't the person all my visitors thought I was and it made me tired. So, maybe we all just need to be ourselves:)
I stumbled upon your blog during your hiatus and was thrilled to have found a "voice" in your posts - one I can definitely relate to so I am VERY glad you are back!! Thank you for sharing honestly!
im with you and fighting my depression too. trying to write but enjoying reading - i'm a real reader ;)
Welcome back!!! Looking forward to reading more!

Glad your back sweetie. I hope all is well and you get back to enjoying your writing. :-)
I am glad your are back, I am having the same dilemma about is what I am writing upsetting pr firms. I am coming to the revelation that I write for me not them.
