Home is where the heart is, or so they say
I find myself in a dilemma, given I’m now the proud owner of 2 blogs.
When I consider the madness that has been my life since just before Christmas, common sense tells me I don’t have time to run 2 full time blogs, so for most of the day today I’ve been mulling over what to do.
Let’s be honest, I’ve struggled to keep up with one.
So why did I resurrect this one you ask?
Because I made a promise, to not only myself, but to someone I care deeply about.
Logic is nowhere to be seen when your heart is involved, as most of you will agree.
You don’t think about the end result, because you’re so focused on doing what you know is the right thing.
Equally, you can’t simply abandon other things because you have something new {or should that be old???}
As the title of the post says, home is where the heart is, which in itself creates another small question.
Where does my heart lay?
Most would say it lays here, in my own space, with my own name and my own strange little way of doing things.
And yes, it does, you’re right.
I know you are.
However.
I made ozmoesis my own too.
The name came from a suggestion I threw up to a friend who reworked the spelling, and thus it was born quite by chance.
*snort*
Almost like a little accident huh????
LMFAO….that amuses me no end!!
Sorry. I digress.
{I’m still giggling though!!}
I made it MINE.
I helped conceive it, I worked on it for days, agonised over how it should look, what the tone of it would be, what plugins worked best, and all the bells and whistles that go into making a blog personal and individual.
I guess what I’m looking for here is some help.
Some input from people who have come tto know me reasonably well.
So.
We have 5 choices here people.
1. Redirect Ozmoesis to anonymum.com
2. Redirect anonymum to Ozmoesis
3. Operate both blogs as seperate entities
4. Close Ozmoesis altogether
5. NFI but you thought I’d be pissed if you didn’t say anything.
Leave me your thoughts if you would be so kind?
The decision will be made by the end of the week, and I’ll post it on both sites so noone misses it.
Back to the salt mines for us tomorrow, so I’d best be thinking about sleep.
It would help if I was actually tired, but I’ll see what i can do.

um…………osmosis is a process by which liquid moves and ozmoesis seems to have been the process by which you have moved. The Nook will always be your first home, but while our first homes might be nice to visit sometimes they aren’t home anymore once we have moved on.
I don’t know the details of why you moved on from here or your promise to return, but I think the question is “do you need to?” followed by “will the person you promised you would to understand if you don’t?” And really they are questions that only you can answer.
I don’t know if that’s much help to you, but that’s my two cents worth.

well….since you asked. First of all your blog is your very own. Like the commenter above, i am not sure what the impact of the promise and the promise requester, but above all, your blog is parts of you. You closed down anonymum while i was out of commission, so i do not know the reasons for that, but that may play into the whole thing as well.
they are both a part of you. and both have meant different things in your life. Listen to your heart.
Keep them both, direct one to the other, I don’t think as readers it matters as much to us, as long as we still feel connected to you through your words.
Follow your heart.
ps i have 3 sites that are mine. my word press, a blogger i started because i could send photos from my cell phone to it, and a personal domain that was a gift, but i have not had the time or mindset to learn how to set it up. But they are all mine. and i have almost no readership on the two active ones, but thats ok, because i write to get my thoughts and feelings out!

Well. Ozmoesis is a very cool blog. I think it runs parallel to this one as far as thoughts, feelings, etc. I think it would be hard to have 2 different blogs going especially if they are both serving a very similar purpose for you. If Ozmoesis was your kinky sex blog and Anonymum was your personal, everyday life one… I could see keeping them both. Or am I wrong? Is Ozmoesis kinky? I better get back there and re-read- LOL!
Although, Ozmoesis is a very cool name so I can see your dilemma.
Oh Lawdy girl, this is such a hard decision because they are both so beautiful. I guess it’s being realistic and if you can really keep each one up and running?
Although, what would be the harm in closing one of them – still keeping it though for a rainy day- ya never know right? And just blogging for the most part on one – - that way you decided but ya didn’t… huh? Does that make sense?
I say, stick to just one. Which one will be your ultimate decision. Now I’m confused because Ozmoesis is a very cool name. Dangit! Now ya got me all involved- LOL!

Hmm…
I think….
………….
Take some time for yourself doing something you enjoy and hopefully the answer will come to you.
Whatever you do I’ll follow along
This decision should be yours I think only you know what is the best blog for you.

What B said.
Or determine the character of each blog as separate entities and keep them clearly defined with posts on different subjects.
If that’s impossible then one needs to meld with the other

dude…I have wrote 3 comments and erased them all. I have no idea what to say. I really have no helpful information that I can offer, just a bunch of bull crap that is useless.

I’m going with #1 and #4 because this is where your heart originally was (not that is wasn’t at Ozmoesis)
I understand this and will post a ‘grand opening’ whenever you are ready, my dear.
If you’re happy, I’m happy

I really have no idea. Unless you want to have one family rated and one x rated.

I don’t care what you do as long as you keep blogging, I would miss you so much I’d have to come lookin’ for ya if you didn’t post on at least one of them!
You are a mighty fine writer. Please let me know where to blogroll you because dang it, I have to keep one subscription alive, don”t I?

What B said.
I am a person that once I have moved on, I do not return. Almost stubbornly.

*nods*
yes it does make sense and sometimes, people don’t really need to know what is going to on to support you they just need to know that you need it and be given the opportunity to do it and I am just glad that you didn’t drop off the face of the earth so that people could support and encourage you along till you were ready to do what you needed to do.
If that makes sense? lol
