I need some help here...

I haven't written on "Blogger" for a long time because I started a blog with my own domain name 3 years ago. The problem is I paid for 3 years & it's due next month. The new charge is over twice as much because I do not get the discounted rate anymore.

My dilemma is what to do? Should I pay the money & keep going? Should I let it go & keep my domain for a later time? Should I transfer it all to another host which will have discounted rates for the 1st 1-3 years?

Truthfully, the real problem is this... My blog is not focussed. It is not about one thing. I have concerns if it's even been helpful to anyone. I only have 10 subscribers & not even sure they read it or like it. I will write my heart out for only 10 subscribers if I know it is helpful to them. I just need to know.

IF you read this blog, I would appreciate checking out: mariposafree.com before I have to shut it down. Let me know what you think. Be honest. I can take it. Do you think it's of worth to anyone other than my close friends, family or myself? Or... better yet, what do YOU like to read about. Even if I do keep my mariposafree.com blog, I want to re-vamp it so it is valuable, interesting & helpful and not just me writing about myself and my problems, journal-style, unless that is helpful to someone.

I know I'm breaking all the blogging rules that I don't even know, but I plan on re-posting this on my 2 other dormant free blogs and write something in mariposafree.com soon. I'm looking for input and yours is important to me.

Here are some ideas I've thought of to focus on:

-  Cleaning Tips
-  Just journal (practically what I'm already doing)
-  Short stories, excerpts of the book I'm working on, writing tips...
-  Guest posts
- Journalism articles, interviews...
- Photography...
- Good books I've read

Help me out here! My personality is so against doing just one thing. I have too many interests. Maybe there are 5 people that would enjoy a variety of subjects, but perhaps it could all fit together in one theme. Give me your vote  IF you read this. The first 10 new sign-ups (and the current ones) on mariposafree.com will receive either a free e-book of cleaning tips (when I get it done) or of a short story.  So, go over there soon because I may have to shut it down soon. 

Procrastination

I am supposed to be doing online banking, but instead I got distracted and found this old blog I haven't written on since 2014!

I have another blog now that I am trying to write on more.  You can find it here:  mariposafree.com.
I think for fun, I may write on this one just to see if anyone reads it.

My mariposafree blog started out with cleaning tips because we have a cleaning business and that's what I know about. I got tired of writing about cleaning and needed a break from it. Since then I've written on various subjects, which is not the way you're supposed to do it.

Because life got crazy and many unfortunate events happened (divorce of sons, youngest daughter leaving home, death of my horse, death of my niece, family problems) I have felt uncomfortable writing in the journal-type way. That's the easiest way for me to write, but I haven't wanted to bare my soul to people I don't know. I haven't wanted to bare my soul especially to those that I know.

We still have 1 horse and I am making an effort to train him more, and ride. It's been therapeutic for me in many levels. I still miss Lady, my chestnut mare, who died the end of December. I never spent as much time with Cloud, but it's going pretty well.

I have a lot to be thankful for. I am still married after almost 37 years. It's been rough in spots, but lately I've seen some calm and peaceful waters. Many of our adult children have come to visit this last year. G. has been here the most. He's come and gone and helped out in many ways. The most important way has been his presence. He also planted most of our garden last year and put up the deer fence.

I've traveled many times to visit other sons-daughters in the "Valley" and the coast. I miss having children at home, no matter their ages.

My dream is to someday go on a road trip with some of our family. After living in Mexico half the year for 8 years I got the traveling bug in me & maybe a little gypsy too. We have a stable life now, but do miss traveling!

That's about all for now. I'm curious to see if anyone will find this obscure blog with out a domain name. If you do find it, please check out my blog : mariposafree.com and I will my hardest to write more there. May the Lord of all the Universe bless you and help you to find His peace, joy, love & forgiveness.
