		<description>I am so glad you blog.  I don&#039;t comment, but I read often and find so much useful information and inspiration here.

I blog because writing about my journey is a good way to keep me from veering too far off my intended path or to bring me back when I have veered off.  I blog because I have found a community here that I find caring and supportive and understanding of circumstance.  I blog because I feel like there is something inside of me that needs to be share and perhaps if I continue writing long enough it will find its way to the surface.

Thanks again for sharing yourself with us!</description>

		<description>no good answers except that I&#039;d miss you if you stopped.  Even on twitter today you made me think...am I saying things that are good or mean?  So, I try not to put out there how cranky I am or why does my kid scream so much. 

why do I blog? have no idea but I am thankful for all that it has brought me and taught me over the years.</description>

		<description>Oh, Miz. I have been doing a lot of thinking, too. Not sure what will come of it. But the greatest thing about this fitness blogging community is we all go together - somehow, we just fit, even though we all have different styles, different content. And I am so thankful for getting to know you and all the other wonderful people in our fitness blogging community - that only happened because I blog.</description>

		<description>Lately I&#039;ve felt like I&#039;ve lost my voice and I have nothing meaningful left to say. Other days I feel like there is this big party going on and I&#039;m on the outside looking in if that makes sense at all.&lt;strong&gt;it makes a LOT of sense to me, SJ&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>I started blogging when I didn&#039;t have a clue what I was doing... just about being a first time new homeowner and such.  Then I found out about google adsense and thought I&#039;d earn a bit o cash too.  Big whoop - $18 in the first three months. I&#039;m rich.

After a while, I realized I was writing about too many topics on the 1 blog. I separated them into several dif blogs, focusing on my passions, and did a little promo on the side when I could. By now, I understood blogging.

Then I realized I needed help with my health. I started my gettinghealthy blog and started being honest. I blog there because I need somewhere to vent, and to let it all hang out.  Anonymously. Still, I feel I&#039;ve made friends, like you and Jen the Prior Fat Girl and TJ and Ron and many more.  I need the support because sometimes it&#039;s hard to do in person. Especially with all three members of our little family with special dietary needs, like gluten-free.

It would be nice if I earned money or endorsed products for my blogging time. It would be wonderful, in fact. Anyone got any tips?  Feel free to browse and comment them to... Vee at http://www.veegettinghealthy.blogspot.com</description>

		<description>I blog mainly to share. I love information and I love to share it with others. That doesn&#039;t mean I don&#039;t like all the other stuff that goes along with it. I like getting free stuff. I don&#039;t mind blogging about a product if I love it and think my readers will love it, too. That&#039;s sharing. 

I think blogging is pretty difficult when you really get into it. I mean, here we are spending TONS of our precious time writing, commenting, trying to get traffic and subscribers and attention. And most of us get *nothing* for our time. Except community. The people, the sharing, the bonding. That&#039;s what it&#039;s really about. People who expect more from it are probably going to be disappointed. 

I&#039;ve thought about quitting blogging lots of times. But the truth is, I love it. I would feel a big gaping whole if I didn&#039;t do it.</description>
