		<description>@ Annabel: Well, my premature emergence from the cocoon (before I&#039;d even finished spinning it) has created a passionate avalanche so far! It&#039;s strange because I actually expected most people would hate the post and the rest would not even notice it! Goes to show you... what do I know?!  ;)

@ Holistic Healing: I&#039;m definitely liking where this blog has taken me, and the direction it seems to be flowing in now. Whenever I feel like it is useful or helpful for others, I get inspired to keep going. When I feel like I&#039;m writing just to see my words published, I find myself completely unmotivated. Whatever I can do to reach out in a meaningful way, I&#039;ll definitely continue doing.

Thanks for your comment!  :)</description>

		<description>Hey, Tammy! You know, I was JUST thinking about you this morning, and about that conversation we had on your blog and facebook a while back... when you were deciding to scale back your blogging and focus more on your photography (and life). I think that was a brilliant choice for you, and you have managed to stay connected with the people that really matter.

I think I need to spend a little time finding what MY thing is. I feel like I write an awful lot about stuff that happened in my life a long time ago, but like I don&#039;t have any current stuff going on. I&#039;m afraid I am becoming Al Bundy... remember him? He was middle-aged, married, with children, and all he talked about was that time back in high school, when he scored &quot;four touchdowns in a single game!&quot; Those were his glory days, and he hasn&#039;t done anything since. He lives for those memories.

I had a very exciting, and somewhat tragic life up to a few years ago. I&#039;ve written plenty about the ups and downs. But now what? It can&#039;t be that the most exciting thing I do now is write about my past... as if I were at the tail end of my life. I&#039;m not ready to settle into a nostalgic phase. It&#039;s time to start something new and exciting... like... hmm... (that&#039;s as far as I&#039;ve gotten).

Thanks for stopping by here, Tammy. Your presence warms my heart.  :)</description>

		<description>Hey Lisis,

You are talking to the Queen of the unknown. I&#039;ve taken the last 6 months to sit back and spend more time with my family. More time for thinking, and more time to ease up on myself. It has been time well spent. 

I think I&#039;ve gradually turned into a much easier going person. I have accepted that I cannot FIX the world and the world cannot FIX me. Living side by side with the world in unity is right where I should be. 

When you get up each day, life will take you where you should be. This I have learned.</description>
