I think the key to successful blogging is to do what feels good to you, participate as often as you can and let the rest go.Jennershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08044537551139633301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6309803128000518121.post-14822948024881330812011-09-16T07:21:24.451-04:002011-09-16T07:21:24.451-04:00When I get bogged down, I explore new blogs less, ...When I get bogged down, I explore new blogs less, and you've helped force me out, for which I thank you.

It's so hard to let some of the guilt go over not being a "good enough" blogger, but other bloggers accept us as we are and so we should learn to do the same for ourselves :)Kim (Sophisticated Dorkiness)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09240085627916462704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6309803128000518121.post-43288676302147438912011-09-15T17:49:00.852-04:002011-09-15T17:49:00.852-04:00Such fantastic advice!

I am one who can't get everything done, so I pick and choose what is important to me, and do that.

I do the best I can with the time I have, which isn't as much as other bloggers have, but I still enjoy blogging :)<br /><br />And I see you're reading Joan Leegant's Wherever You Go. I read that a few weeks back for the UK release and I very much enjoyed it.

It can be so easy to get caught up in comparing yourself to others that sometimes we need this sort of post to remind us that whatever we can do and whoever we are, we will have a place.
