Blog indentity

I hope edenland does not mind, but some wise advise like this needs to be shared.


I have often struggled about my blog identity. This blog was once a TTC blog, than a pregnancy blog, a mommy blog, a single mommy blog... reading this I realized that I was doing wrong trying to fit my blog into a mold. The truth is that this is Cibele's blog that happened to struggle with infertility, then got pregnant, had her beautiful girl, is still struggling trying to wrap her mind over the fact that her marriage is over and she did not see it coming, cibele that enjoys life but has some dark days , loves motherhood, that happens to be a nerd, to be from Brazil, mother of Lyla, Cibele that loves going to the movies, Cibele that has a hard time with spelling and the correct use of " on and in" ," than and then" (please forgive for some terrible English mistakes I've had here), Cibele that whose first language is neither English nor Spanish, but Portuguese, Cibele that is a Christian and an active member of a Presbyterian church, Cibele whose name is pronounced: "Seebelly", Cibele that has shared more than she thought she would here, Cibele that is trying to find herslef again, find love again, loves to read and taking pictures, loves to blog and will keep blogging, blogging out loud! I Hope that you will too my friends,
becuase I love getting to know you all.

"Seebelly"??

I have been calling you "See-BELL" in my head all this time.

It is nice to meet you seebelly ;)

Cibele said...

"Seebelly" is the easier way I found to teach people about my name. I am normally called See-BELL and other 100 variations

I completely agree that you should blog whatever you want to on your blog. I enjoy reading it and I had no idea your name was pronounced that way. It's lovely!

I have always thought of this as Cibele's blog (and now I am confident in pronouncing that - thanks!) - no matter what! Definitely do go on with whatever you feel like posting about. I will try my hardest to keep up!

I also believe you should blog for yourself, about what you want, and how you want! No molds for me!

I also have been calling you SEE-BELL in my head....thanks for the correction!

This post was wonderful and resonates deeply with me. I am so happy that you are going to continue to blog, and to do it with such honesty.

The picture of you looks so bright and hopeful. I think good things are on the horizon for you and Lyla. :)
