Blog Boost End and a New Beginning

Today is Video Wednesday, and today’s message is a very heartfelt one. Shortly after the Ultimate Blog Challenge started, I heard a song. One with two very popular musical artists singing about abuse.

I won’t say their names, because it really doesn’t matter. Unfortunately in a few months some other artists will be singing a similar song that says abuse is ok. This was the final straw in avoiding a calling I have had for years. I can no longer stand by and let the cycles of hate and abuse continue.

While that calling came almost 3 weeks ago, and I stated to myself that I would finish the Blog Challenge before leaving this blog behind. Although I nearly quit just 4 days before the challenge ended.

Each day, each post has become harder and harder to write. Some of you may know that I also write for 365 Online Tips. This is a daily success and motivational site. There is another motivational site in the works. I am actually looking for some women who are willing to make commitment to helping women.

But for those of you who are friends on my personal website, you probably have read that I am thinking of getting out of making websites and even out of WordPress. Well, the decisions were made as to what I was/am going to do as of almost 2 weeks ago.

Now it is time to confess….

Rockstar Guide to WordPress will soon no longer be available for sale as an ebook. I am working on getting it published. It will be sold on Amazon and hopefully on Kindle as well. It will be available at a much lower price and I am looking to get some other authors to add some chapters to help people with their websites. This is extremely important because half of the profits will be going towards special organizations and that new project mentioned earlier. It will need some funds for scholarships and such.

So…

  • If you want to add a chapter to a WordPress book, please comment.
  • If you are a woman and would like to participate in a special project to help others, please comment. (make certain that you use email box because it will be a private message)
  • If you are a man, and would like to help get the project going, please comment.
  • If you would like me to continue doing Freebie Fridays, please comment.

I still enjoy WordPress and very much enjoy tech stuff, I just won’t be able to do daily blogs or commit to WordPress projects.

    Beautiful. Good luck with your new project MJ, I’m sure you will make it special.
    Hugs!

  2. I think it’s great that you are expanding into new avenues and realize you simply can’t do it all! Sometimes we just pile on more and more work, thinking we can find the time (magically) so I think you’re very wise to see what you need to say goodbye to in order to fully invest your time in new projects. Good luck with all of it!

      Thank you Evelyn. It was not an easy decision, or rather I knew the decision but wasn’t ready to make it. Hopefully people will be excited about the new projects as well.
