what do i want out of this...blogging?
1. i want to practice my writing. i want to become more skilled...more powerful...more me.
2. i want to connect and touch others. i want to meet new people from different lands, different mind sets, different perspectives. i want to develop a little community where people come around to check up on one another just to say hello...just to share a smile. damn...i sound like a hallmark card now. just shoot me.
3. i want to share myself with you. i want to talk about my life...my stories...my challenges so that perhaps it can help someone even if that someone is merely me.
4. this is re-stating number three but i want to help people. i want to provide sustenance through my words...even a morsel...hey then it is all worth it.
5. i want to heal and help myself too. i want this blog to be...for me. for whatever i want to write about. i want to feel free and safe here. i need this outlet more than i can say.
6. i wish to create. this is when i feel happiest...when i am creating something from nothing.
7. i want this blog to be a storage warehouse for me to save little thoughts and bits and pieces of wisdom i collect along the way.
i could go on and on but i shall opt for simplicity and brevity and stop here.
PS: i am fixing up my side bar so forgive me for switching things around and playing with your links. i added a small links section for the "special of the day" for those folks i find myself on blogger speed dial if you will. anyways...i will be trying to make things all perty and organized.
Come sit a spell and shoot the breeze. Sweeten the day with a little synchronicity...

Your reasons are not that different from most of us who blog. My thoughts on why I blog is revealed in "When Worlds Collide"
I love reading other people's blogs, especially when I can relate. Your list is similar to my when I created my blog. Personally, I didn't think anyone would read my blog but I am glad some so.
I say, we have a nice community here. We share and comfort one another. :)
Hi Merelyme
It's lovely to come visit you at your 'home' seeing that we first met at mine :-)(BTW how did you find me?)
You have a beautiful,soft place here oozing with pulses of peace, moments of loving mirror-talk...
May we all continue doing what we love...Lucy

Just sending you a hello and a smile. No Hallmark cards or shootings. And no overloading you with my questions.
My favorite Buddhist (Meta) blessing is: May you live with ease of heart.
Whether you feel it or not, you exude an ease of heart in the midst of things not easy. And I wish it back to you.
I had to return the favor and visit your blog. I sure am glad I did. No wonder you like my sunset photos, your photo at the top is lovely.
It looks as if you've found that if you write it, they will come. Hope you keep blogging.

i love the peek you allow us into the inner workings or your mind, and look forward to every post
