Hello friends, I’m just a girl standing in front of a keyboard asking you to….Oh wait…okay well, things behind the scenes here at Katherines Corner have been challenging. I won’t bore you with all of the details but I really thought I was not going to be able to keep blogging. Sometimes, trolls, SEO, lack of participation and cost can just be overwhelming. I have to admit, I went over to the dark side, yes, I seriously considered letting go of Katherines Corner.
How could I even consider such a thing?
Katherines Corner is basically my friendship lifeline. If you are a long time reader or a new friend, you know Katherines Corner is one of my happy places.
I asked some lovely bloggy friends for their input and they came through for me when I really needed it. I received love, encouragement, inspiration and a consistent , “don’t stop blogging” from everyone. I also received some wonderful advice for Katherines Corner moving forward.
With a little help from my friends I am happy to share that Katherines Corner and everyone’s favorite TFT blog hop, will still be here for you when you visit. I realize I don’t have to tell you all of this. If I just kept it to myself you would never know I was having a “blogging crisis” (smile). You may have clicked over and found I was gone, poof. I’m happy you are here (heart)
Please let me know when you stop by, a little hello in the comment section is always uplifting. I’d love some feedback on your experience with Katherines Corner.
It is always my intent to share inspiration and encouragement here. But sometimes I need a little bit for myself as well. (smile) .
A big thank you to those who stepped up and made me feel that Katherines Corner is still relevant and that my blog still has a place in blog land.
I look forward to seeing you all back here on Thursday for the best Thursday blog hop in blog land.

Oh Renea, thank you so much for your lovely comment and for being a bloggy friend here at Katherines Corner. Hugs!
Katherine, I can relate to how you feel, but I’m so glad you’ve decided to keep blogging. Blessings, Cecilia @My Thrift Store Addiction
Thank you so much for your bloggy friendship and support. Hugs!
I am so glad that you decided to continue on your blogging journey! As you know, I’ve lately been in the midst of a blogging crisis also. And, also, with the help of “friends” and their encouraging words, I have decided to hang in there also. Blogging is such a huge part of my life that I’m not sure what I would do with myself if I hung it all up. I’m sure you feel the same way. Sending you virtual hugs and love. Smiles, Linda at Paper Seedlings
Hi Linda, thank you so much. I’m happy you are getting out of your blogging crisis, we’re here to support each other (smile). Blogging really is a lifetime to lovely friends like you. Big hugs!
Katherine, I know the struggles of blogging. There have been so many changes with SEO and other things that it’s overwhelming to keep up. Plus the cost of maintaining a blog – expensive! As a newish blogger (just over two years now) I wonder how long I can hold on. But I haven’t heard God say let go, and it sounds like you didn’t either 🙂
I appreciate your bloggy friendship and kindness. Message received encouraging me to move forward with what I love. I’m happy with the decision to stay, I’m happy for you too. Hugs
Hello sweet one!
I’m still here! Thank you for your friendship and encouragement xo
Phew, I am so glad you decided to stay, friend! xo
thank you, I’m glad too. Thank you for your friendship and encouragement xox
Katherine, I am so excited to hear you decided to keep at it. I did not want to weigh in, as I think it should be your decision. Whether we do or do not blog seems so personal to me. I know you have had many trials, as have I, and something this big has to be your decision. I am so glad you decided to stay. Love you my sweet bloggy friend. ❤️
Hugs,
Theresa
Thank you for your love and support my friend, it means more than you know. xo
Excellent! Glad you aren’t leaving us. We’ve been blogging buddies for eleven years now and hate to see you go.
Thank for your support my friend. Your friendship is a blessing. Hugs!
Hello Katherine,
I’m so glad you are continuing with “Katherine’s Corner”. Please don’t consider my long silence as an absence. I do read all that you post. I merely are dealing with long-term issues; nothing serious but are still in my life.
Hugs and love,
Cynthia
Thank you for your support my friend, prayers and hugs across the miles xo
I am so sorry you felt so dispirited! But I’m sure glad your friends rallied and helped you see how much you’re appreciated.
Thank you so much. With a little help from my friends, I was lifted up and reenergized. Hugs!
Very proud of you!!!
thank you sweet Laura, for your friendship and for your support. xo
