My Comfort Zone

Archive for the ‘Blogging’ Category

There was a time in my life that I was suffering from intense headaches that would normally appear after spending so much time in front of the computer. I thought it had something to do with my eyes or I was already having a migraine. But fortunately for me, I will not be searching for the best migraine treatment nor the best eye treatment because neither or the two were the reasons behind those headaches. I was just stressed out! Too stressed from all my online and offline tasks that I do as a blogger, as an employee in our family business and as a mom to my 7-year-old son. But I’m not at all complaining. I enjoy what I do and I was happy with my life despite the headaches. Still, I took some time to chill out and focus myself and they disappeared. Maybe they were as fed up with me as I was with them. Hehe.

EC dropping has brought me to different blogs – some of which I’m a constant visitor and some I just stumbled upon. The latter being those individuals that just dropped at me recently or those that has their EC on someone else’s blog.

Anyway, I already know this lady because I’ve visited her blogs before – sometimes browsing her site and sometimes just EC dropping. Totally depends on the time I have. After a while, I came to visit her blog again, read her post and commented on it too. The following days brought me to her sites to drop EC because she has reciprocated my drops. And then one day, I was surprised of what I’ve seen. She’s being attacked verbally by one blogger not to mention attacking her below the belt already. Things like that really shocks me. What the blogger just did was very disgraceful. I could have not taken it if I was told something like that. Very hurtful and it can be considered as ruthless, I think.

I’ve been reading the comments there since yesterday and though it made my eyes sore, still I want to know what’s the latest. I was hoping though that apologies has been made and forgiveness was given. But much to my surprise, everything was blown out of proportion. I was like, whoa! I do wonder if that blogger will make amends. Looks like it’s not going to happen.

Even now, the time I started in blogging two years ago is still very vivid to me and I can’t thank my friend Mabelle enough for opening up this fascinating and profitable world to me. She was my mentor and she has supported me from the beginning. I am a widow and have been a stay-at-home mom since the company I worked for had problems, costing me my job. And earning an extra income at home has been instrumental in making my life and my son’s a little easier; actually, it’s been a true lifesaver for us.

We’ve made it through some hard times because of the earnings I made through blogging. I’ve also learned from friends how to earn more online. We all are in the same boat – stay-at-home moms who are making ends meet using the money we earn online, and we are still hoping to learn of more opportunities for us, always keeping our fingers crossed, seeking and hoping to hit the jackpot of success.
