Meowllo evewypawdy and a blest Sunday to ya’. Mommy, Lexi and me got an invitation of sorts in da email da udder day, but well as wiff most stuff tech, mommy didn’t quite unnewstand it and then we furgot and missed it. What wuz it you ask? Well it wuz a discussion/lesson by a panel of pawsum Cat writers/bloggers. At least nex time weez’ll unnewstand da invite and be able to set a’minder fur it. Cuz we watched it after da fact, and it wuz pawsum!!! Altho’ me knows da panel of ladies rarely weads meez bloggy, me wuld like to fank them fur their time and infurmation. Ifin yous a blogger of any kind yous oughtta check it out here. Altho’ da panel wuz made up of Cat Bloggers, da infurmation given wuz good fur all bloggers.
They talked ‘bout bwandin’ and integwity. You know weez been vewy blest. When we stawted in social media we made it clear dat we wuld always tell da twuff no matter what. Dat meant even when it didn’t put a good light on us or even ifin it hurt us, we wuz gunna tell it like it is. And most of ow furiends/followers tell us dat they like and wespect dat ‘bout us, and they believ us when we say sumfin’. Dat makes us very purroud and honored, but it also means we be held to a higher standawd. We hav to work hawder ifin weez postin’ sumfin’ educational specially, cuz you ow furiends awe welyin’ on us to giv you da facts, not just ow opinion. You awe twustin’ us to not mislead you or giv you bad infurmation. Dat be da integwity pawt.
Course integwity also means stayin’ twu to hoo we awe. Dat be purretty easy fur us cuz mommy hates lyin’ and fakeness. We hope to continue to be kitties you can twust and weez plan on workin’ hawd to purrove yous twust is not misgivin’. Of course we will continue hav fun and make those kinds of posties. But we also hope to bwing you more educational/infurmative posties as well. Me guesses ifin we wuz da kind dat made New Years wesolutions this wulda been ows. We don’t make wesolutions cuz more offen than not they get bwoken wiffin da furst kupple weeks, but we fink we can all stwive to be better. As long as you member to be twuff-ful in all you do and say and never furget dat weez all capable of learnin’ sumfin new (cuz nopawdy knows it all) then you be well on yous way to bein’ better.
They also talked ‘bout bwandin’. And how ow blog wuz ow bwand, and it’s what defines us. Da fings we post shuld match up wiff hoo we awe and what ow goals awe fur ow bloggy. One of da fings we be known fur is ow Blest Sunday posties and findin’ da good in fings and bein’ a pawsitiv furce. We weally like bein’ known fur dat, cuz there’s enuff bad and negativ fings in da world wiffout addin’ to it. We hope you continue to bear wiff us as we work towards makin’ ow blog one dat be innewestin’, worff da visit and full of integwity and most purrtant luv.
Wiffout you all visitin’ weadin’ and commentin’ this wuld just be a diawy. So we hope hope dat you will always be honest wiff us. And ifin you ever hav questions ‘bout us or sumfin’ weez written purrlease feel furee to ask. When we do ow educational posties we do a lot of wesearch afur sayin’ sumfin’ definitive, and we twy to always giv you a link to ow wesources, but we did learn dat purrhaps we shuld be notin’ those wesources at da end of ow posties also. So we awe gunna be better ‘bout dat in da future. Mommy sez dat we be a blest genewation cuz there’s so much infurmation available these days and it’s much easier to access it. We also learned we weally need a mentor. Hopefully weez’ll be goin’ to BlogPaws and we can find one there. Course mommy sez we can find one anywhere, and there be lots of peeps we weally admire and fink wuld be gweat mentors. But we also know it takes a lot of time and we don’t wanna impose on anyone. We know most of ya’ lead very busy lives, so ifin we evew get da courage to ask ya’ purrlease feel furee to say No. We won’t be offended or get ow feelins hurt.
So in wrappin’ up ow Blest Sunday posty, we just wanna fank you all fur comin’ by and clickin’ da follow button and visitin’ us and commentin’ on a wegulaw basis. We purreciate each and evewyone of you. Fur us yous not just followers or weaders; you be ow furiends and furamily. We also be weally blest to hav a ticket to da BlogPaws conference in Nashville. We so hope and purray dat we be able to find a way to go and to affurd lodgin’ fur those 3 days. Da swag and goodies wuld be pawsum. But da lessons we wuld learn wuld be purriceless and to be able to meet so many of ow furiends wuld be pawtastic. As you all know we luv meetin’ y’all in da purrsun to fur.
You broke your resolutions too, huh? I didn’t actually make any for myself on account of my not bein’ able to keep ’em but I made plenty of ’em for my fur-fam and they managed to break every one. Gotta give ’em an A+ for consistency, for sure!
MOL Not weally Nissy we didn’t make any eevew. But ifin we had we purrawlly wulda bwoke ’em. so dat’s why we sed we wuld just stwive to be better. As loong as we keep learnin’ and luvvin’ we can’t bweak dat one.
That was a pawsome post Dezi and Lexi.
Mom started blogging in 2005 and she thinks she has just about the same amount of followers now as she did then. MOL
But, more than ever she knows that the main reason for blogging was to have a record of our lives.She wishes she had been more precise while Abby was still here, because it was all for her. Now it’s more. But she sees the value a lot clearer especially since she lost Abby and Gracie too. It’s their legacy and that means more than anything. Mom knows she will never be one of those popular blogs but she’s OK with that. She wants us to have a voice and to keep it as her memory because Heaven knows the first 8 years of this is dedicated to Abby and Gracie’s memory.
Sorry for being so long winded.
Oh No sweet Annabelle, don’t pawlogize, dat’s da whole point of ow posty. A pawt of us will always wanna be pawpular, but weally we just wanna tell our stowry and chwonicle ow lives. Mommy wishes she had a puter when Lexi wuz yung so she kulda told da stowries as they be happenin’ stead of twyin’ to piece togedder memowies. Mommy sez she twies even on ow funny virtual adventures to make sure there be nuff twuff to them to be a chwonicle.
Thanks for sharing the link to the panel. I wasn’t able to view it live, either, so I’ll definitely go watch it soon. I appreciate that they recorded it and are sharing with everyone who couldn’t watch it live.
Mom and I saw the panel discussion on the original hangout. It was our first hangout and we weren’t quite sure how to do it but it was easy. Excellent post with a great recap.
Great post, as always. I started watching the blog paws chat, but had technical difficulties. I need to go back and try to watch it as it sounds most helpful. I am praying that you get to go to Blog Paws. I know you posted on your blog that you were looking for a ride- have you asked on the cats with Blogs Facebook page? That might get a response. You have honesty and integrity mastered, no need to work on that.
Aaaaaw Fank you Miss Ellen. No we haven’t poste dthere yet. Prancer Pie may be goin’ and ifin so we might can wide wiff them, and then we wuld only hav to work on a woom. But mommy’s wheels awe churnin’. MOL Fanks fur da suggestions tho’ and fank you, we will nevew take yous twust fur gwanted.
Yes, being honest is always the best sweet ones! We hope you get to BlogPaws, it is a fantastic experience. Hey, would you and Lexi both go, or do you have a sitter? Just curious.
Fanks Brian, dat’s what mommy sez too. And yes we do hope and purray dat we get to BlogPaws, and we all wuld be goin’. Bein Service cats, we don’t hav a sitter. Ifin mommy goes, we go. 🙂
What a wonderful post Dezi and Lexi – I am so glad to hear you enjoyed the session and got some good information out of it. You have all the right ingredients for a great blog and I especially love your Sunday message – you are so right that we have enough negativity in this world.
I look forward to meeting you at BlogPaws and be sure to visit our panel discussion!
