Blog Positivity Week-Why I am here

I saw this button over at After Nine to Five and fell inclined to join in the fun for the week.  Not all of you know but Dominique’s Desk was not the first blog which I created. I started blogging at private blog named AstrobearRyan on blogspot and from there moved over to WordPress. After being there for awhile I decided it was time to move to self hosted and that’s when this blog was born back in Dec 2007.

Why I blog

I love writing and enjoy being able to put thoughts to words and express myself.  The blog is also a channel where I keep the rest of the family who are abroad up to date on the growth/progress of the kids.  I also find it therapeutic to be able to pen down my daily thoughts and emotions.

What have I gained from blogging?

I’ve made many new friends and learned a lot about blogging and social media since I’ve been online. I love the blogging community and the support that I have been blessed with through these years. Joining the various communities/forums I have learned a lot on how to be a better parent, writer and friend. Even though there has been both positive and negative experiences I do believe that the blogging community as a whole are made up of nice people who are willing to help you out in your time of need.

I cherish all the friendships that I’ve made online and offline through blogging and it has been a real learning journey that has helped to cultivate me into a better person.

I’ve been introduced to many new items and have had the privilege to test out many products and applications which my family and I have benefited from.

Blogging has opened up many new avenues for me as I strive to switch from a FTWM to a WAHM so that I can give my family  my full attention while assisting in bringing home the bacon.
