I have received the same comments you described from some of my friends. It shook my confidence and then I started self-editing. Eventually, I said "I love this thing called blogging and I'm going to keep doing it!" "Don't read my blog if you don't get it" I have met so many wonderful women out there. And I will keep blogging until I run out of things to say. Glad to meet you Sande!

I think blogging speaks about women in general whether they own a computer or not. It is about "our" gift of communication, commitment and artistry. All women are artists in some form or another. <br />I look at blogs to be inspired by the color and the art. It is a leisure, that I am aware of and so I can understand criticism. Some of the images blow me away and I find myself dreaming of being affluent enough to afford some of the things that speak to me and it forces me to use my imagination instead. It's like going window shopping. That's what appeals to me most. You find awesome images and color that brighten up my day from my desk. I can dream from my home. That is the beauty for me.cjsullivan133https://www.blogger.com/profile/04547236135507602807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574953613921369798.post-58786171125975899482010-03-08T10:51:34.156-05:002010-03-08T10:51:34.156-05:00Dear Sande,

Thank you for giving me such a comfort in a day I was not sure about my blogging adventure...or better, I was disappointed because it is happening that a person (I don't know him/her) comments my blog writing things that do not have any connections to my articles and he/she sais he/she is in love with me or something like that. Awful I think!

I'm now a follower of many. Thank you for sharing your creative spirit.

I just started blogging end of 2009 and sometimes I tell myself - it's just a waste of time - but I have become creatively enriched with new ideas, new colours, new worlds that I wouldn't have been able to reach otherwise - & other women. Sometimes the women in our life are not that close to all the differnet parts of what we're made of. And blogging seems to make us able to find new friends to fill in those gaps of understanding....Prosit for the illuminating & confiding talk....:)FairyFiligreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01510679220884107437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574953613921369798.post-11423163667071987442010-02-24T17:45:13.699-05:002010-02-24T17:45:13.699-05:00Beautiful.
