Brutally honest
Monday night. So, class went well. I somehow managed to bang out about seven pages in an hour and a half as well as throwing together a 3-5 minute presentation that I got an A on, too. I have nearly dropped this class at least twice because I didn't feel I could do it and now I've got (as of the last assignments) an A in the class. There's a lesson in there somewhere, but I'm just too tired to get it, I fear.
Anyway, the real purpose of this is to ask if I've scared a bunch of people off with my recent posts or if the new comments just aren't working or if no one's reading me anymore. I know I've been really school and Alcott obsessed lately and not much about being healthy (or not), so perhaps that's it. If anyone has suggestions for topics you'd rather see me write about, I'd love to hear them. Honestly, after I'm done with work and school and Alcott (and Junior League on the weeks that I'm active with that, too), I'm lucky to do much of anything after my workout, but I want to be interesting and engaging, so help a girl out, won't you?
All I need now is romance and there will officially be no more room on my schedule. Honestly, I don't know where I'd fit someone else into my life right now - how sad is that? I guess when (not if) I find the right guy, it will be so magic that it will just work, right? Please, someone, tell me that I'm right, wouldja???

Please don't change the way you are writting about your life and Alcott. It all add up to who you are and I want it all!!!
I love hearing about your life, so keep it up :))
Keep it up girlie!
hester
Keep the faith gal. ^j^
I have noticed that sometimes the more serious entries get fewer comments, and I think it's because people don't really know what to say -- it might be a case where they don't feel comfortable giving advice, or all they really have to say is something like, "I know what you mean!" or "I'm right there with you!" and so they don't say anything at all.
In my case, I sometimes don't comment because all I can think of is a situation from my own life (which looks selfish/self-centered) or advice (which I hesitate to give unless it is asked for). Lighter entries are easier to comment on.
Bottom line: don't write in your blog for other people, just write for yourself and trust that people are reading. :)
I suppose there's no right answer to that, but whenever I get hung up on stuff like that, that's what I ask myself. Times like that, I have to to let the whole audience thing go, and not rely on my readers for validation.
You're actually my inspiration there -- you're doing such a good job at getting fulfillment from within. Why not extend that to the blogosphere as well?
Anyway, these days I'm seeing the same thing - I get very few comments these days. People are just busy.
As you can see from all the comments, you certainly have a great group of regular readers. I read you almost everyday, but I often just lurk. That doesn't mean I don't appreciate your words. Keep writing the way you do!
As for your posts, I always find them inspiring, even when they are about mundane stuff. You're a great writer and you're doing great things in your life. Keep it up!
Love love love!
