Building a successful creative blog

I’ve been thinking about how to make my blog as successful as possible. It’s funny that it came to me in a CreativeLive list of classes to take during my creative inspiration week.
I need to stop and think about why you’re here. What is it that you’re looking to get from my blog? And why is it that I am writing to you now. Because I have a chronic illness, I am hoping to reach others with chronic illness. I believe that managing a disease is the key to being in power.
I guess it’s really time to think about who is reading my blog and get better for writing for them. I want to empower people to know that they are not alone, and they just really need to take a look at the things that they do and refine the processes and make life easy and enjoyable. A chronic illness doesn’t have to be a death sentence. Life can be pretty beautiful from up here once you take a look. I used to think that every day was just one more day of suck. But that’s not the case.
I try to learn as much as I can about the things that I wanna do or that will make me a better person, and these things really empower me to fight another day.
There is a very rare day that I will miss the gym How do I stay motivated enough to do this? This is something that I would like for another person to take away with them from my blog.
I just feel like they were thoughts inside my head that need a way to get out. I feel like writing is the perfect way for me to not only document everything that I’m doing in my life, but keep a history of the things that I do, and along the way, draw a leader ship that might have similar issues with chronic illness, especially with MS like me, Because it really doesn’t matter what kind of disease modifying medication you take, we are all managing an illness. And living within that bubble. It’s still always there that you are fighting an illness, but if you keep fighting it in, remember to take your medication, there’s no reason that you can’t live a happy, productive life. Once I grabbed onto this idea, it completely empowered me and changed my view. I hope that others are the same from reading my blog. whether it’s some thing that I cook that made my nutrition easier for me, or learning to not cook, and how to get food in my mouth, like with my meal planning package that I just had to break down and get, to even find a quiet Place in my house, I can sit down and meditate, and even create, like I am doing now. It was a complete life changer.
If I had to wrap it up in a summary statement, I guess I want my blog to be a creative outlet for myself, but also draw others similar to my self, and empower them to fight another day and live a pretty awesome life while doing it. The fact that I have a mom makes it even more rewarding, because not only am I reinforcing to myself that I can do this, but I have a little seven-year-old sponge ready to suck up anything that I can teach him. He will always know that his mom does her best to take him everywhere she can to enrich his world and although she might need help, sometimes picking up some thing that she dropped I’m moving some thing out of her way, so she doesn’t trip and fall, she is one awesome mom who will never give up. I guess that’s really what I want my readers to know too. Never give up. You would be amazed at the things that you can do if you just find a way to do them but adaptively. Finding a way that’s right for you to get things done is the game changer.
Right now I’m sitting here with my iPhone dictating into my notability app, then I will copy and paste this into my WordPress app and set it to go as a blog post
From this course that I am taking now on blogging, I hope to build up my leader ship, reach more people like me, and be a source of inspiration for countless others who want to live a meaningful life with chronic illness.
I am looking forward to see what this course does to change my view of how I should approach my blog over the next few days. I’ll be watching this on the Cybex for my cardio in about 45 minutes. That’s what you do when you can’t sleep and you have thoughts rolling around in your head that I have to get out. Now I’ve got a plan.
