PRIVATE!

***OH MY GOODNESS what a HEADACHE this has been.  Since I wrote this blog post a few days ago this is my 3rd attempt at putting the e-mail addresses in.  First time I didn't save it, then I figured out that some addresses were denied, some I think got 800 e-mails from me offering the invite (so sorry), and some I had to go and figure out what I was putting in wrong to make them get denied.  Boy oh boy---I hope we are all situated now.***
YIKES!  What  JOB it was setting this thing private.  I was SO careful punching in those e-mail addresses.  I hope that everyone got an e-mail.  I appreciated so much the comments and hope that this private thing works.  I would feel so bad if someone wanted to read and I didn't get their e-mail right---fingers crossed!!  I know it is such a pain to have to actually go and click on a blog---I get that.  I am the WORLDS WORST private blog reader.  If blogs don't show up on my google reader---well now, bloglovin, then I don't remember to go and actually click.  I get that and I am sorry to make it inconvenient to come and read.  I've really had a hard time going back and forth on what I should do regarding setting my blog to private---I do love sharing our life and I pray this blog can be a light in someones world.  In the same breath, I think about my kids--who are my world--and I feel the need to protect them.  I feel like google is power now and you can find anyone, anywhere.  It's kind of scary if you think about it....so this is my attempt to keep this blog going and keeping it as safe as I possibly can.  I hope you'll keep on stopping by---or clicking by!  I do love my readers!!  It's really been fun clicking on those of you I don't 'know', but to quickly see we have so much in common.  It really is a comfort to know who is reading this, and I am glad you're here!!
Please leave a comment so I can know it that this private set up works!!  Thanks y'all!!
