Blogging can be a tool...
Today I’ve read some words about 'what it's about' that will stay in my mind for a good while.
Julie Leung in the US Pacific North West wrote at the end of a long entry about blogging and parenting: Blogging can be a tool: If we are willing to share, if we are willing to open ourselves, to be examples, to change our lives, to live in front of each other, to ask questions and reveal distresses, we can help each other find freedom.

And Andy Borrows in Hertfordshire, near London, England, shared the piece he’s written for the forthcoming ‘100 Bloggers’ book:(http://jstrande.typepad.com/blog/100_bloggers/index.html). I can’t imagine a more eloquent summation of one man and why he writes a blog: …quite by chance, I came across blogging. I sensed something good going on, something worth being a part of – a community of “good hearts and good minds” as another blogger later put it. I felt a sense of attraction - excitement even - as, in the people I encountered, I recognised reflections of that lost soul I’d left marooned…. My blogging continues to be an exploration into the un-sailed waters of what lies within, in the company of good hearts and good minds. Sometimes scary, sometimes battling against inner resistance, often with surprising, insightful discoveries.
