I Did It!! #NaBloPoMo Day 30

I did it! I’ve written every day of National Blog Posting Month. I’ve learned about search engine optimization, and I renamed my blog at the beginning of the month. The old name really didn’t apply anymore. I had written a post entitled Stepping Aside which explained some realizations I had arrived at over time. Women in their Crone phase of life are often dismissed as emotional and out of control. Menopause is a time of challenge, to be managed. To those people, I say, are you kidding me?

When a woman reaches her Crone years, she’s achieved a level of clarity that others may find uncomfortable, and the last thing we need is to be managed. In fact, it’s probably not a good idea to even attempt to manage me. We may stay silent; we may speak out, confusing our families by the things we do and say. Truth be told, I couldn’t care less. It’s my time now. Mine. And I don’t have any intention of answering to anyone.

I’m amazed that I’ve found topics to blog about. #NaBloPoMo topics have helped, as have the Daily Prompt over at WordPress. Once I got started, it was much easier than I thought it would be. I’m a bit wordy at times and blogging daily has helped me condense a bit. The Yoast SEO plugin I installed has been immensely helpful in that regard, suggesting areas to improve I had never even thought of before.

All in all, finding BlogHer has been inspiring. It’s been fun following my fellow bloggers both on BlogHer and on Twitter, reading as well as sharing their work. Some of the stories are funny, poignant, and a few brought tears.

So, thank you for letting me share my thoughts with such an amazing group of people. It’s the last day of National Blog Posting Month. We did it!!

~Blessings to all!
