How almost impossible to wrap my head around the fact that I started Entre Nous 9 years ago today. Of course back then it was more of a "Dear Diary" than anything else. As evidenced by an excerpt from my first post titled "Is it Wicked Not to Care?" (P.S. my text was in pink back then).
"D. called from Iran. He informed me that the government doesn't allow its citizens to access Friendster but MySpace is free for anyone to use. I thought that was hilarious."
So "Dear Diary" and so dated. Friendster? Does that even exist anymore?
Back then my post titles typically were pulled from song titles or lyrics and it appears I was posting daily if not more than once a day. Miraculously, or possibly because there were so few blogs, I established a core group of lovely readers. Then subsequently lost them all when I got preoccupied with my move to Savannah to attend grad school. You'd think the move across country would have given me plenty of blogging fodder, but unfortunately I didn't make Entre Nous a priority at that time in my life. Of course readers are fickle, understandably so. When my posts went from daily to every few months, everyone lost interest.
So here I am announcing my Nine Year Blogiversary rather hesitantly, because well, no one reads my blog anymore. So of course it's rather embarrassing to throw out such a big blogiversary number. But what I most took away from Alt was how important it is to establish your "tribe". So here I am working towards taking Entre Nous in a new direction this year. Here's hoping that in year nine I'll pique peoples interest enough with my posts that some of you will come along for the ride.
To entice you to do so, I've put together a little Blogiversary gift. The theme of the gift is "spring", as anyone who knows me can attest to the fact that I adore a theme. Spring because, I don't know about you, but I'm so beyond over winter. I thought an array of gifts to entice spring fever might just be what the doctor ordered.
