I finally started this blog which I was so excited about. I don’t know exactly what I expected but being massively spammed right out of the gate wasn’t even close to what I was thinking.

I was thinking having a blog was a great way to let people get to know me and my business Scenter of the Mind. I figured they would be more comfortable shopping with me if they knew who I was and what I stand for.

I was also thinking it would be wonderful to share my thoughts, ideas and products with random people all over the place. I like people and I like talking to them and meeting them. It is so much easier to do this by computer then by traveling, although I would love to travel as well.

I also thought it would be a great vehicle to share inspiration and spirituality with others. Maybe I could do some good in the world and offer people some uplifting words or wisdom I have gathered through out my life. I would love to be a force for good, love and peace.

Finally I thought it would be really neat to have all these writings of things I felt and thought to leave behind when I’m gone. My children would be able to keep this little part of me and have it forever. After all what is better to leave them than a piece of yourself?

So I started this blog with great excitement and enthusiasm only to be spammed mercilessly. To say I am disappointed is an understatement. Every day I visit my dashboard only to see tons of comments that are just links to people’s web sites or nonsensical comments that have nothing to do with my actual post. What a major bummer.

This was depressing me so much that I wasn’t writing anymore and didn’t even feel like writing. I mean why bother to share things with people who obviously aren’t reading it and are only using it as a way to get search engine rankings or whatever. How rude is that too that people do that. They have to know I don’t want their crap all over my blog. I keep deleting it and they keep putting it back.

Today I went into my dashboard and was deleting spam and I thought bad thoughts about these people. Then I remembered that you get what you focus on so I am going to turn these bad feelings around and say “Thank You.”

Thank you so much for all your spam and the time you took to come to my blog and spam me. I must be awfully interesting for you to take the time to come here or send your robots here or whatever you do. And hey, you gave me something to write about so now I’m back to writing and posting and hopefully I will continue to write and achieve my purpose for having this blog.

I’m just blowing bubbles.
