Thank you all for your feedback and advice following this post. I took everything you said to heart and thought. A lot.
The more I thought; the more I realized that I don't need to change a single thing. Would going public mean I could (in theory, mind you) become a famous blogger one day? Yep...in a planet far, far away that might be a possiblity.
However, as much as I like to know that someone is reading what I have to say, I don't like being the center of attention. It just isn't me. I love all of you. Right now, I don't think I need to tell friends and family that I blog for fun. (Fine; it's bordering on obsession.) The people that really matter to me are already reading my blog, or are at least aware of its existance.
I don't want to have to sensor myself. I never purposely set out to hurt anyone's feelings - but from time to time, I need to vent and be selfish.
I'm happy to get new followers - but all you fabulous ladies are enough. Seeing comments from you makes me smile; I don't need anything more. :-)

Good for you....I know from personal experience that the first time you want to say something rude...it's all "dang it! I wish I wouldn't have told so-and-so that this blog existed". Excellent choice!
ReplyDeleteI almost gave in and confessed to my blog recently... but I just couldn't do it. Too much at stake!
ReplyDeleteYou have to do what is comfortable for you....
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you! :-)
ReplyDeletea. How is it possible that I missed the first post?
ReplyDeleteb. Very few people that I actually know know about my blog. Well, they know about it, they just don't know where it is at. :)I like it that way!
I think letting things go which ever way they go in time is the way to go Cole!! Great choice!
ReplyDeleteGlad you were able to make a choice either way and feel good about it.
ReplyDeletegald you made a decision just right for you :)
ReplyDeletehave a great weekend hun!
Glad to have helped, I think you made the right choice!!
ReplyDeleteFor what it's worth, I kind of think you're "famous" anyway. 187 followers is pretty darn good. :-)
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way. A few of my friends in real life read it but they live far away. I really do not want my whole family reading it either. This is fun for me and I enjoy it.. I am glad I can still read you..
ReplyDeleteGood decision Cole! You wanna keep it real and that's what I love!
ReplyDeleteJustine :o )
I'm glad your blog is here to read! I very much enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteGood choice!

I agree with you! Sometimes I wish I had never let my family in on my blog because it cut's down on my being able to vent when needed. Then, silly me connected it to my facebook, which I am seriously thinking of un-connecting. It's definitely your blog so do as YOU want and just enjoy!
