This morning I woke up with a totally different blog idea...
However after opening an email from a 'friend' I knew I needed to blog,
Again,,,
About why I blog...
First I will address the email,
The short version was, 'Angelia, I love your blogs, they have enlightened and inspired me,
However, be careful you don't offend your friends,'
HUH? So of course I asked had I offended her,
Couldn't figure out how, because I don't know her like that, but curiosity was killing the panther...
"Oh no, not me but someone I know, a mutual friend said you called her out on a blog,'
HUH?
I told her good looking out and decided for the sake of argument I would readdress why I blog,
First, I have never called anyone out on a blog, whatever that means,
I will say that there are not many things,
I won't blog about...
My Ramblings, are just that, My Ramblings,
Something will occur at home...
Work...
Church...
Online...
Any old place...
And if it touches me in any way, I will blog about it,
A form of therapy if you will,
I have a work friend who has inspired many of my blogs,
And though at times I have made her uncomfortable,
She has always said, 'She loved reading about what happened from a different perspective.'
And that is all a blog is really something from the perspective of the blogger,
So ladies and gentleman,
Ramblings is a place where I talk,
Share,
Opine,
And sometimes get downright goofy,
But darlings,
It is never a place for foolishness,
Or madness,
Or calling someone out like I am a middle-aged, female rapper,
Though I do have a few mic skills,
And can freestyle a little something, something...
Giggling,
I simply show up here,
To Ramble...
Love and Blessings,
Angelia

Well, I'm officially stunned speechless. I don't think I've ever read anything on your blog where anyone, even the person you were blogging about could take offense. Your tone and the message is always cloaked in love as far as I can tell. You're ramblings seem to come from such an honest and sincere place... Oh well... Keep on rambling and keep on blogging girl and I'll keep on reading... until I feel like you're calling me out or something... LOL :-)

Gwyneth,
if you think you were stunned, I certainly was, but such is a blogger's life. If I put anyone on blast it is me...laughing...and thanks for the support as always...
Love and Blessings,

So true and as such I can see both sides. I know I've blogged and rambled and folks have taken offense when it was not even meant for them...it was just me blowing off steam...or being my opinionated self...hmmm some folks just don't like when things might possibly head too close to home and cause their feet to hurt because the shoes are pinching their toes.
When I read your ramblings...I do sometimes feel like there is a teacher in you coming out...and that's not a bad thing...just the tone/feel of your blogs and for some that might be an issue.
At the end of the day...you can't please everyone...and I know you won't...because you are Angelia unique and wonderfully made and you're only accountable to one person.
I love that you don't just talk about it...you ARE ABOUT IT.
Keep doing you, respecting your fellow man, and God will take care of the rest.

Yas,
I tell you that teacher thing continues to rear it's head, laughing...my youngsters are always amazed when they find I am not a teacher...guess that is my alter-ego...thanks for being one of the one's who get it and me...
smooches

I love your ramblings...
I always learn something about myself in them...maybe that's offensive to some
As Digital Underground said
do what you like
Stay peace

Thanks Genesis,
I actually love being thrown for a loop ocassionally, keeps me fresh,the deal is though, I never write or blog with the thought of how it will affect someone,otherwise it will affect my words... I just empty the thoughts from my big-capricorn head on the page(s)'Doing What I Like' as you and DU suggests,
smooches

We ramble to clear our minds...to share something with someone that might help them alone during the day. How anyone can take offense is beyond me.
I my opinion, I have never read anything here where anyone was being called out. I guess I haven't over analyzed what you have written...I take it for what it is worth.
guess I haven't over analyzed what you have written...I take it for what it is worth.
And that my Sweet Jennifer is why I appreciate you so much...
Love and Blessings,
angelia
