		<description>Yobachi: You aren't the only one. I went through the same thing with people who I thought cared about me and what I was doing.

Sometimes I think it is too much for them to type words on a keyboard.</description>

		<description>"Nothing like an audience that already knows you."  

Actually I've found that for the most part, people who know me are the least supportive. You'd think they'd be the main ones interested in what you're doing and wanting to see you do well, but other than, that's a nice blog you've got comments; they don't spend much time supporting it. Its as if because of knowing you, that don't take you that seriously, or don't think it's a serious venture.

Maybe that's just my experience though.</description>

		<description>It has been a while and I felt bad about it considering the readers and my responsibility to myself for keeping up with my goals.

I'm glad to have you as a reader. Your insight on life is rewarding and I look forward to sharing more with you.

Keeping the connection going is a beautiful thing.</description>

		<description>Jackpot! I hadn't checked in a for a while because you hadn't posted anything new and now I get a bunch of new posts! Jackpot!

I feel the same way you do when I don't blog - a bit disappointed in myself and the feeling that if I don't "put out" all my friends will leave me. Readers do come and go but I to notice that friends will email me or leave me a note on MyBlogLog just to see if all is well. 

It's a bit difficult at first to find your voice when it comes to blogging. I certainly found that out. You evolve, your blog evolves and I think the big breakthrough moment comes when you let yourself come through. I may read some more industry or marketing or more "news" type blogs but for me, I want to learn the blogger's story,  see his/her view of the world. 

I keep coming back to your blog because of your story and you show me a world so unlike my own. Not that we don't share some similarities (like the Dreidel Song!) or being called "white inside"

I keep reading because I "connect" to you and keep wanting to hear your story, see your world.</description>
