We often underestimate ourselves. And it shows in the way we feel about what we can write about, and about what others can say. But in truth, there is only one "you", and no other person can write anything in this world exactly as you can. I TAKE OFF THE MASKs last blog post..Fear Not My Child (poem)

Let me say that, just by finding your blog (and a few others) recently has led to a little voice in my head going “My blog community DOES exist!” I may still have some marinating and private water-testing-by-email to play with first, but feeling like there’s a community for the kind of blog I would want to write is very encouraging and joy-making.

I do want to bring up my own personal qualms (fears) – 1) that a current or future employer discovers my blog and it hurts my career and/or 2) some creep engages in cyberstalking or otherwise invades my privacy through the information I put in a blog b/c I was too vulnerable. I’m not talking about someone who makes insensitive comments, but more than that. Now, as I write this, I see how silly it is to let these fears stop me. But I thought I’d bring up for the sake of discussion, nonetheless.

I wonder if others have shared those qualms, and what helped them develop a degree of appropriate safety around them.

'No one is an expert and everyone is an expert.' How very true. I think my most successful posts have been when I really blew it in some venture, acknowledged it, learned from it, and shared it. The comments I get back are, 'hey, that's JUST what happened to me...' Good to be reminded of that. Thanks! G. Graces last blog post..Best quotation sources on the Internet
