I think the initial allure and fun of blogging can lead everyone to burnout and a reassessment of why they are doing it, what they are getting out of it and everyone finds a point where if it isn't truly enhancing their life, they need to reassess or step back and do what they TRULY want to do. And balance in life is critical. I kind of reached this point not too long ago and have cut back on "building the blog" and just making it more for me and what I want to write about. It has helped. : )Jennershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08044537551139633301noreply@blogger.com
