Don&#8217;t get me wrong, blogging full-time is a lot of work. But by &#8220;work&#8221;, I&#8217;m talking about feeling like you don&#8217;t want to get up\u00a0in the morning because you don&#8217;t like your job. I remember what that felt like. It was the whole reason I was pursuing this to begin with.<\/p>\n<p>The issue was, I was approaching everything from a business perspective and it was making me unhappy. I was focused on monetizing instead of passion. So yesterday, I re-aligned my goals and expectations for Pocket Wonders. I want to write and share things with my readers that makes me smile.<\/p>\n<p>Something you should know about me is that I have a very wide range of interests. So you&#8217;ll begin seeing a lot of different things on Pocket Wonders.\u00a0This means that for the first time, I&#8217;m writing about my geeky side.<\/p>\n<p>I hope that you enjoy reading them as much as I do writing them. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I came back to the world of blogging a couple of months ago, I had one thing in mind: I wanted to make money from doing something I loved.
