Blog Switcharoo

This blog will be undergoing some serious and fantastic changes.

I put my heart and soul into this blog but I've noticed that the blog is not as user friendly as I would like. Like it's not easy to comment on posts, it's hard to find old posts and so on.

So in an effort to to streamline the madness, I will be changing blog services and website hosting services too.

I have no idea how long this process will take and I do not know if every single little thing will transfer from this blog.

What I do know is that the blog will go on in the midst of the changes and that the end result will be totally kick ass!

Bare with me folks, Life As Kaci Knows It will be going through a little growing pains but it is a change that needs to happen to keep all my peeps and me happy. Any feedback, input and what you would like to see on the new (but still the same) blog will be amazing!

Love ya.

Mean it.

Blog About A Blog

I've been writing this blog for a couple of months and it has changed my life. You just read that sentence and probably snickered a little and thought it was a complete overstatement. I'm completely serious though.

I'm the type of person that needs to verbalize my feelings. I'm an open book and find it hard to supress how I really feel.

Since I've been writing this blog, I find myself thinking about if what I'm doing in life is "blog worthy." I go through my day focusing on the positive things in life instead letting the negative in because who wants to read about more negative things? I think we have enough negative surrounding us that the last thing we want to do is read about it on a blog. I have found this to be therapy for me and it has pushed me to do things that I normally wouldn't have and to think outside the box.

I encourage you to do the same. It's fun. It's freeing. It has a purpose in your life, if you are looking for that sort of thing. People ask me all the time how I have time for all of it. I make time. I need it. It's theraputic for me. I write for a little while when everyone is asleep. I write while I'm waiting for something. I blog while Blaze is taking a bath. 

Here are 6 tips from what I've learned so far that makes a good blog. 
(6 seemed like a good number)

1. Keep it real. Make your blog true to yourself. Don't try and sugar coat it or make yourself out to be someone you're not. You will relate to more people if you let your true colors show. Nobody is perfect so let's quit pretending! Start with your blog. Look at it as your online diary. Even if you never share your web address with anybody, getting your feelings out helps the sanity of your noodle!

2. Stay positive. Even if you are having a bad day, there is always something positive to say. Spread your little seedlings of happiness all over web space and watch the lovliness grow.

3. Variety. Make your blog about all kinds of things that anybody will relate to. Try not to be opinionated and pushy.

4. Blog often. You don't always have to write a huge story, a how-to, or have something profound and genius to say. Posting a picture or one of your favorite quotes will suffice should you have writer's block. If people are following you, they look forward to reading your next post. Don't keep them waiting.

5. Support and participate in other blogs. Blogging and reading other blogs is fun! See what other people out there have to say and are doing. The blog community is large and have an unspoken sense of family. Become one of the family, not a wallflower.

6. Love your people. Talk to your followers like they are family. You never know when someone needs a pick me up and they go to your blog for inspiration.

There you have it. My little insignificant tips to get you blogging in the right direction. Always feel free to write me at lifeaskaciknowsit@gmail.com should you have any questions about starting your own blog.

Love ya!

If you didn't notice...

I do realize that I am straying a little from my schedule. When I originally started my blog, I made an empty promise that I would blog about 1 different thing a week and post it on Sunday.

Well... if you know me then you probably know that I don't do well with schedules and plans. So this is just to let you know that I am going to blog whenever I feel like it and lately that has been several times a week. I promise to be no less than once a week unless I'm in the hospital.... or on vacation (hope that its more than a week)... or flying to the moon. But if I'm not doing those 3 things, I will be blogging. And I guess if I AM doing any of those 3 things, then I will have more to blog about! You get the idea!

Mucho amore!

Oh Yeah! Just to make sure you are paying attention, I will start doing small giveaways here and there!

I Want To Follow YOU

I want to follow YOU! Not in a creepy, stalker way, duh! But if you have a blog, send me a link or the web address so I can add you to my blog list on my blog. I love reading other's blogs and I'm sure the people reading mine will love to read yours too!

Feel free to comment on this post or email me @ kacijohnson@live.com so I can follow you!

Peace & Chicken Grease!

"Is Anybody Out There?"

I've been writing these blogs for a month or two and honestly I thought I was just writing to nobody out in cyberspace. I had a couple of comments recently on my Facebook about my blog and some of my friends had made comments that they had read my posts.

I just wanted to tell you out there that are reading this.... Thank You! I hope you enjoy my blog because I sure as heck like writing it. I think I found a passion of mine. It's weird because I've been praying for God to show me my passion in life because I could feel that I was missing something personally and I needed to find that one thing I loved and that I'm good at. Well, I'm not sure if I'm good at this blog but I love it.

Thanks for stopping by!

Much love!

Under Construction

Please excuse the mess I've made of my blog. I'm trying to make it look cool and add different features but I've found that I don't exactly know what I am doing so I'll be trying the good ol' trial and error method.

Also, I'm thinking about renaming my blog to something more unique and that describes me better. Any suggestions?

Peace & Blessings!
