  1. You own everything you create

  3. All of your effort is returned to you
  4. Your unique website adds diversity to the world wide web
  5. To have an online space to see and to hear and to feel exactly what inspires your spirit

Own Your Content!

When you post on social media you give away your words, pictures, and videos. Whatever platform you post on will benefit from your offering. Your work grows their platform, their business, and their income.

When you create your own website or blog everything you post stays with you. You own all of your words, photos and videos. Your work grows your platform (your website), your business, and your income.

Yes it is more work to do it yourself.
But consider the trade off – easy posting on a gargantuan social media site in return for…a like, a reply? You can get that on your own website, it’s just going to take a little longer to develop your following.

Freedom of Expression

Dragonfly

When you have your own website or blog you make the rules.
You create and post whatever you want, whenever you want. Do you want your image to be bigger? Make it bigger. Want the next photo to be smaller? Make it smaller. Change fonts, add emojis, add your own doodles…do whatever you want – you are not constrained by limits beyond the ones you set for yourself.

Feed Yourself

It takes effort to create.
Posting your work online is an offering. It is energy from you going out into the world. Posting to your own website or blog keeps more of that energy within your “personal atmosphere.” I think of it like this: when I work for other people my energy goes to them. When I work for myself, my energy out comes back into my orbit more directly. Keeping my energy within my orbit supports my physical, mental and emotional health.

Variety is the spice of life!

One of the great possibilities of the internet is that each of us can join up and express our individuality. Obviously we are not there yet, but those of us lucky enough to have access can offer our visions and voices in unique ways. How? Make yourself a cozy little website or blog and express yourself. It doesn’t have to be perfect – no one is and no website is. It just needs to be YOU.

What’s the vibe, the story, the expression you are looking for out here on the web?
