Funny San Francisco Latina Blogger

Gratitude

If you are reading this, I wanted to take a moment to say Thank You!

I started blogging in April because I desperately needed to be doing something creative. I have been acting since I was about 14 years old, but since pregnancy and motherhood there has been very little acting in my life. My soul was atrophying.

It’s difficult to find a creative outlet while taking care of a baby and working, but it’s even harder to let yourself wither away. I turned to blogging even though I had never even followed a blog. People on the internet can be unbelievably mean; it terrified me to go public especially since I do not consider myself a writer.

To my sheer amazement people (you) have been unbelievable kind and supportive. Who knew I would get so much out of sharing my thoughts with others?

So thank you for helping this Unknown Mami re-grow her soul. You’ve done a good deed.

Muchisimas Gracias!

    Oh the pleasure is all mine 🙂 Welcome to the blogging world! Most people are actually super nice and as far as 'hate mail'… well… that is what the 'delete' button was created for, right? Looking forward to many more posts!

    I completely understand what you mean about needing to find a creative outlet; I started blogging for the same reasons (here's my first post http://thiscasuallife.blogspot.com/search/label/intro, pretty much noting the obvious). Blogging is so wonderful isn't it. You get to 'interact' with others, document things, and just be yourself. Its a great addiction.By the way, you have a great little blog here; there's no reason why people wouldn't be following you ; )
