I shared this in my Facebook community earlier but thought some of you here may also want to read this:
Can I just tell you all something?
I think you're amazing.
I've done this full-time for going on 10 years now. I've seen fads come and go, changes, upheavals, etc. The last 18 months in the blogging world, especially, has been a LOT, I know Google has decimated traffic to many of you and affected many of you on a personal basis.
You could've given up and said "nope I'm done" and some did...and guess what? That's ok. I respect those who said "I'm done".
BUT...what I've seen happen for the majority who were affected is this: you were sad, you were mad (probably still are...I am angry on your behalf as well), but you took a minute and said "we'll push through this and let's find another way".
I've watched many of you pivot, pull all nighters, work hard and rebuild some if not all of what Google has taken from you. And I just had it on my heart his morning to tell you that I think you're amazing.
Whether you were affected or not...I think you're really amazing for waking up every day and choosing to build a life you love.
