posting with meaning dot com.

i would like my blog to be huge.  to grow.  and to be lovely.  


a blog where readers come early with their coffee and scour over every word from any post that i have posted.


where readers come from far and wide and no matter where you are at that moment in your life, you can find something that i have written that you can feel in your bones.

i want my words to inspire, to make you laugh and make your time spent while while here at morrison lane heart happy.  that's what i want.

so this means, nonsense post where i feel like i am posting to just keep up and post to just post -
are not going to happen anymore.  

i want to live my life with more meaning.
i want everything that i do mean something.
especially here.

i have a ton on my plate, just like you.  we all have way too much going on, and between being a wife, working, taking care of me (more on this later)
i need to not 
just set behind the computer for the sake of feeling like i need to post.  
does that make any sense?  

i need to be connected for real more.  like not connected on line.
like send my friends real mail.

a letter with a stamp.
tell them how much they mean to me. 
tell them that they mean so much to me that i sat down, closed the computer and told them 
and then followed through and mailed the darn thing.


when brad and i are hanging out, i want to be all in.  
 no computer, no cell phone.  
just me and him and time.
same with my girlfriends.

do you know how i feel?
do you feel like me?
am i making any sense in 2012?

discouragment; then ENcouragment.

so i have been having some blog discouragement lately.  i feel like i am so close to having "IT" but then i don't.  then i read those that write perfectly and i hang on every word and i want to be just like them...and then there are those blogs that are the most creative ever and i want to be more talented.  and then there are some with everything and then i think, "well dang, i just need to shut this here puppy down, because who cares really?"  but then i remind myself i do this for me and if no one reads, it really is for me...

but i want to reach out.

i want to inspire.

by my words.  by my pictures.  by me.

but then i get discouraged and have a poor blog-attitude and NOTHING good ever comes out of that.

but here's the great things about being a blogger and being a part of something bigger than myself.  (you hear that jessica?  bigger than YOURSELF.  its not all about YOU.)  just when i was having the urge to "shut her down" and just go back to my preblogging days...

i get on twitter and get all encouraged and inspired by these girls kind words:

melissa at {pineapple lily}.
twitter:  pineapplelily

liz at [behing the scenes 2009].
twitter:  lizbedwards


ashlyn at .
twitter:  loveashlyn

hollie ann at (hollie takes notes).

and then i really felt better.

and then sunday i read this sweet blog by gussy sews.
twitter:  gussysews

and i felt encouraged and not alone in this little blogosphere that can be kinda lonely at times.

and


girls, 
i just wanted to say thank you.  really.  i mean it from the bottom of my heart.  it's funny how life works...just when you need "it" life has a way of working itself out and then you get what you need.  and i am thankful for many things, but today on this monday...i am especially thankful for you girls.  your words.  your blogs.  you.  i feel more blessed today because of each and every one of you.  it's nice to be told you are great every once in a while.  and i think just that...you are all great.
love,
morrisonlane
