It is more personal than anything else, but I blog when I have time and I don't make a habit of worrying about it. I hope you continue blogging, but doing it at your own pace. I enjoy reading your posts and I will not unsubscribe just because you are absent for awhile.Jaime Barfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00972868515863957645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861145849543681491.post-45916345240465606212016-01-26T21:23:11.361-05:002016-01-26T21:23:11.361-05:00Hi Michele, I would love to read what you have to ...Hi Michele, I would love to read what you have to write! It is hard coming up with enough topics to keep a blog going. I had plenty of them when I was switching binders and layouts and all, but know that I'm pretty happy with my setup, it's just a lot harder to come up with topics, even when including other non-planner things. Hopefully I'll come up with more in the near future.

But for me, it would distract me too much from the point of my planner.
