I'll get a lot less comments and views, but oh well. I enjoyed reading about it and thought I'd write it. <br />This is a great post, something we need to remember...get it back to what we love.

It's hard to know where/when to draw the line, but I think being authentic within oneself is the best place to start, and I know that's easier said than done with so much virtual static coming at us on a daily basis.

I've never heard of this pee on the other side of the wall thing. But really, I read blogs because of the personal aspect in each blogger's life. I can relate to that. "Oh, they have that same pee problem I do!" Top 5 or 10 lists are sometimes amusing and a quick read, also highly overdone. They seem to offer a quick fix, but let's face it, most big problems can't be solved in five minutes from a Top 5 list.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11147164986410943832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8198725602225380188.post-6446013704446198922014-02-25T09:31:01.359-05:002014-02-25T09:31:01.359-05:00Absolutely.

Trying to slot them into this ideal of Top 5 or How To is taking that away. I'm not saying it is every post written like that but it is the idea that we have to make nearly ALL of our posts like that now. So what once would have been someone writing about an issue is now slanted to Top 7 Ways YOU Can Save The Polar Bears. Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02220004667538143849noreply@blogger.com
