Blog-a-versery
Posted by realityrounds on February 3, 2010
Happy one year anniversary to Reality Rounds! A one year anniversary should be celebrated with paper, ironically, since this blog is written on a computer. So I have decided to write my blog on paper from now on.
I have no idea what direction this blog will take in 2010. I had no idea what the direction this blog would take in 2009. It started out as a nursing blog with my commentary on medical stories in the media. It seems to have taking a turn as more of a blog on birth and neonatal issues, which is fine because I seem to talk about these issues constantly in my real life. But what the hell is the point of my blog? I have no clue!
One day I would like this blog to mean something. I would love it to help people in some way. I would love to come out of anonymity, and share my knowledge of neonatal issues and nursing as an open forum. I feel there are a lot of voices that need to be heard regarding long-term issues with prematurity, issues of women’s rights in childbirth and health, and the role of nurses as health care providers. I would ultimately like this blog to not be so much my opinions of women’s and children’s health issues, but a forum for others’. So we will see.
Thanks to everyone for reading and commenting. I have learned so much from the comments and from other blogs! I have even gotten to meet some of my favorite bloggers in person (Science and Sensibility, Stand and Deliver, Mom’s Tinfoil Hat) . Too cool (waves). I would also like to give a shout out to the blogs who have supported me and sent me the most traffic. Without further ado, and in no particular order:
*Now go give them a click or two. They are wonderful women writers (and blogs are predominantly written by men, by the way), so let’s give them some lovin’.

Who said you haven’t helped anybody? You just haven’t gotten feedback proving it! You’ve helped me at least, in at the littlest expanding my knowledge and at the other end confirming the opinions I have been honing.

It must be the fact that I pissed off some readers before you did! LOL.
