Look what David Armano has noticed something about business and blogging. Click his logo to take a look at what he said yesterday.
I agree.
In fact, as a web publisher who blogs, I inviteyou to consider this question posed by Robert Hruzek: How Has Blogging Changed You?
I’ll start. My answer’s in the comments.
–ME “Liz” Strauss
Check out the Work with Liz!! page in the sidebar.
Blogging has challenged me to put my thoughts, my dreams, my authentic self into words that I could, that other people could understand and access freely. It has given me a venue for taking my ideas out of my head and putting them where my hands turn them, shape them, and revisit them later. It has given a place where I could get critical feedback from people who had no reason to have an agenda.
Blogging has offered an open page on which to dream and build relationships based on who I am and who I want to be. It has brought people of the most incredible talents and insights to my view. They push me higher by their thinking. I’ve learned to aspire and move with intentionality.
But most of all, I’ve finally answered the question that has troubled me all of my life. Am I a fool to believe in a better world than the one I see?
Apparently not, or there are a lot of us blogging fools to go around — enough to change the world either way. 🙂
Liz,
Perhaps its foolish not to believe in a better world.
Liz,
Only a fool would deny that people aren’t here to make the world a better place.

Oops. That didn’t come out right.

Hi Tariq!
You have a point there. More and more I’m coming to see what you’re saying as the real world view. 🙂
Hi Mike!
I knew what you were saying. People can make a difference. I’m so smiling to think of the difference you make — productive irreverence. 🙂
Hi Liz! Very kind of you to mention me here, and thanks so much for your contribution!
Cheers!
Robert!
A fine post deserves mentioning. 🙂
Liz, I love what you said in your first comment here about blogging.
I find that the process of writing is cathartic and enlivening. Then comments and discussion open up other worlds.
Thanks for all you give.

Hi Stuart!
It’s so nice that you stop by hear. I think of it as on your way to work. 🙂
Thank you for noticing. That first comment was like my blog post for this entry. The opening post is like the opening remarks to a discussion that gets the room warmed up. Then we step aside and let the folks talk. The discussion takes off with a life of it’s own. We become a learner like everyone else.
It’s worth celebrating.
Thank you for coming by to joining with what I am doing. 🙂
It’s funny, Liz. I actually AM off to work shortly(and in the middle of it here.) It is a pleasure to stop by. Goes real well with that first cup of tea.
Thanks,
Stuart
Thank you Stuart,
I like to share a cup (of coffee) with you in the morning too! It’s a pleasure.
A cup of conversation with you and Karin makes a beautiful start to my morning!
I’m grateful for days that it works out that way. 🙂
