Coffee Date Vlog: What if?


Hi Friends,

Thanks for joining me for coffee. I wish we were sitting in one of the big comfy chairs in Starbucks with our favorite drinks in hand. But until that happens we have our virtual dates which I'm still very excited about.

Since I'm still a newbie to the vlogging world and last week was my very first "about me" post, I thought I'd share about things going on in life. Our lives. My struggles.

What if.... My scale didn't say I've gained 10lbs?

What if.... I forgot why I started blogging in the first place?

What if.... I had an addiction?

What if.... at the end of this vlog I shared something unexpected?

What if.... you woke up today with only the things you thanked God for yesterday?

Just a few things we'll talk about today over coffee. We may need a re-fill.


Linking up here today.

  7. Another great vlog! I also find that I focus way too much on numbers for my blog, but I think everyone does! For me I've actually gotten to the point where my blog is growing and I'm starting to make more money. And so while I'm excited about that, I'm also finding a need to refocus and decide exactly where I want to go in terms of content. And I'm also trying to reach out and connect with people more. Too often I (and others I'm sure) focus on quantity of followers over quality of connections/friends that we make, so that's something I'm trying to work on.

    Anyway...sorry for the rant! Again, great vlog! I'm enjoying getting to know you! =)

  10. Love!!!

    I wish we could really meet up for coffee. And we'd have to trade off who gets the tab since I'm the same way you are. ;)

    One of the main reasons I deleted my blog last time was because of the numbers and trying to get the most I could. Trying to do too much....too many link ups, too many giveaways, etc, etc, etc.

    But I missed all my girls.

    So I'm back. :) :) :)

  12. What a great post!! My June was almost exactly like yours. My husband always notices that I'm getting overwhelmed before I do, and once he pointed it out, I was like, "yeah! I need to slow down!" So I've pretty much stayed home and played with my girls for July, and it's been awesome :D

  14. Fabulous vlog!! I'm not brave enough to do one yet!! You are so great with words and really do a fantastic job! :-) Even though I don't drink coffee, I enjoyed this over a BIG bottle of ice-cold water :-)

  15. Another fabulous vlog Laura. I too have found myself playing the numbers game lately as I just reach 900 GFC followers. I'm now trying to re-focus and writing more personal posts and really engaging with my readers.

  16. I find that if I don't check my feeds (Instagram and Twitter) often enough, I feel like I've missed out on everything! Does that even make sense? It's like I went on vacation and missed small details, lol!

  18. Really enjoyed your honesty in this blog! Being healthy is so hard and I am really hoping I can make myself be better after having this baby! I'm doing better now, but exercising at 33 weeks can be a bit challenging! I also am addicted to social networking... its really awful. Always on my phone or the computer. I know I need to work on that too!

    Looking forward to watching more of your vlogs (I did my first one for today...scary!) for coffee dates!

  19. Laura - I lived your vlog so much. It's nice to know that I am not alone in my addiction to social media and also that even bloggers that I consider big - like you - can sometimes get lost in the numbers game and have to refocus from time to time. Thank you so much for being so open and for sharing your struggles!

  20. Love the vlog!!! I love getting to 'see' and hear my fellow bloggers. I am doing my first vlog this Friday. I have no idea what to talk about, lol. I asked for questions, but only got one, so I guess I'm on my own.
