April 8, 2013 By Kristina

This Post Has No Photos.

Why hello there. Happy Monday to ya.
I know its been quiet around here lately, a few posts here and there, and I have considered apologizing but I won’t, because the truth is I’m starting to embrace doing things the way life allows.
Some days allow for posts, other times they don’t.
Sometimes the words come, other times they don’t.
And being completely and utterly honest with you – I’ve been my own problem.

What do I mean?
Well, let me tell you a little something.
Sometimes the words are there. I write my little heart out and then I don’t post it.

Why?
Because I worry.
Sometimes about judgement, after all it is the internet – you know the place where everyone seems to think their opinion is the correct one – but honestly that isn’t even really the reason.
It’s sillier than that.
Sometimes I worry because the words are there but the photos…they are not.
Weird, right?
It’s all in my head I know, but it’s a valid (to me) concern sometimes.

Then I read this post by Amanda at A Royal Daughter and it concreted the thoughts that were rolling around in my head that I need to just stop it.

I love when you take the time to read my posts and read my heart but sometimes I sit here and say to myself “I hope that words are OK”

but I worry they aren’t.

So, I’ve decided to stop that right now.
I want my readership to be 100% organic, I want you to be here because you want to be.
Photos or no photos.
I remember a time when I didn’t think about photos I just thought about the words, so I’m going to do just that. Sometimes there won’t be photos that fit the post and that’s ok. And sometimes the right photo hasn’t been captured that’s OK too.
It’s more important to me to be present in this space, when the inspiration comes.
Be read friends, I’m ready to roll.

So thank you, for coming here and reading my words, with or without photos. 
I appreciate you.

    Glad you’ve decided to share your heart without pictures. And I’m super impressed with how you’ve balanced baby and blogging. don’t apologize–own it and know that SO many other people feel the same way!

    Words are definitely OK! I love the idea of being more organic. I’m trying to do that. To write from my heart and stop worrying about everything else. It’s hard.

    Hey girl, I’m a writer at heart so I love honest words. I’m one of the few who can read and read without pics. Although the ones of A especially are really cute! 😉
