I have had my reasons for wanting to keep my identity a secret, but suddenly they don't seem so important anymore.
I love reading and commenting on other people's blogs, but I feel that it is hard for me to make a connection with other people while I am holding something of myself back. Sure, I blog and comment on other blogs honestly and from the heart, but people like to know who they are conversing with.
To that end, I have decided to reveal myself. Hi everyone, my name is Mel and this is me.

Hi Mel, nice to you meet you!
Hi Lisa, it's lovely to meet you too. :)
Delurking to say hi! (and thanks for the button add) I started off blogging anon but it just does not seem to work for anyone! Own it xxx
Hey Mel, nice to put a name to a face. Thanks for the button add awesome! I started blogging anonymously too but I found it really hard. It's nice to put your name to your work xx
Thanks for delurking Mrs Woog! And thanks for stopping by Jacqui! I orignially started blogging when I was on maternity leave after having Wombat as a way to reach out to other people. Realistically, I think it's harder to feel like you belong in the blogging scene when you are hiding your identity. I've found that revealing my identity has made me more confident to just get involved and put myself forward more with the blogging community.
Hello Mel! You look really love and very happy with your kids.
With lots of love from the North Pole,
Elfie, Leader of the Elves at Christmas World
