Losing Connection With Your Blog Readers

As I sit here writing this blog post, many memories and thoughts are racing through my head.

How did I get here?  Where is “here” exactly? How do I have readers, a community, or followers?  Do they trust me?  Do they really know me?  Do I really know them?

I have been blogging for three years now.  Not long in the grand scheme of life, but my blog has evolved somewhat over that short period of time. What was once an outlet and hobby is now a full-time career.
