As of 2022, I have been blogging for 10 years. Not as long as some but it has been a creative and fulfilling adventure. And it has kept me devoted to writing for this whole time. I intend to keep on blogging and these are my stories.
Last year, 2024, was my game changing year. I vowed to conquer my anxieties and fortify my body with all the right hormones, I made significant changes in my life. I locked down and worked through my blockages on my blog, my finances, my anxieties, and found my self-esteem hiding behind those blockages. I did…
You know how it feels when you’ve poured your all into something for so long that you’ve forgotten how and why? All of your creativity, control, values, thoughts, hopes, words, and creative efforts into one project, one task, and you can no longer even see all of that anymore. This is how I felt last…
Hello! I am so glad you’ve found your way to my blog at Shalavee.com! My name is Shalagh (pronounced Shay-la) and since 2011, this blog has been my home for learning my wisdom lessons and living my life creatively. This was not always my truth. Once, my unpermitted and unexpressed creativity felt like I suffered…
This year marks the 13th year of the creation Shalavee.com and I have blogged consistently monthly throughout those years. See last week’s story about beginning the blog Here. Many who were blogging before me or alongside me, have moved on from their blogs. Perhaps to a Substack account or otherwise in their careers; bloggers are…
I was so nervous when I created that fist blog post and sent it out. I had lamented over the WordPress theme. But I really needed the excuse to show up to write regularly and so my blog at Shalavee.com was born in August of 2011. I think. My daughter Fiona was born less than…
Yes, it’s August again and thus the 12th Blogaversary for me. My feelings have waxed and waned about my blog over these past dozen years. I was terrified to start this blog. It was a big scary deal. I was tech phobic. I did it anyway because in the end, I knew I would become…
I have taken a break from blog posting because I’ve been very busy with end of the year performances but mainly because I didn’t want to post because I had to. I want to write because I want to. I think back over all the years that I’ve been writing this blog and many years…
I’m 11 years into blogging and l have yet to feel like I have done this blogging thing right. What’s Right though? Right would have been promoting myself to get read by more people. I avoid asking. Right would have been to not only talk about writing submissions but to have done them. And where’s…
I’ve made a promise to myself to be more visible starting this month. However, when I created my blog 11 years ago, I had no clue about using social media. I probably wouldn’t have even tried to interact with social media if I hadn’t needed to engage with people to read what I had written…
This August 2022 marked the 11th year of blogging. But I have had no urge whatsoever to tell anyone about this. Why? Because I just couldn’t see how I had achieved enough with all of these years. Because I am not a popular money-making blog. How do we measure success after all but money and…
