All For One and One For...What, Exactly?

One thing we pride ourselves on as Americans is our "rugged individualism." We came, we saw, we conquered. (Never mind the consequences.) We work hard - maybe too hard. We can accomplish anything if we really go for it. After all, this is the land where dreams can come true, isn't it?

Or does it depend on who is dreaming those dreams?

A Dialogue

Here's the deal. I'm having a bit of writer's block this week. Frankly, I'm amazed it hasn't happened before, given that I've been posting something almost every day since the beginning of June. It's a feeling I hate.

So, if you'll indulge me, I'll open myself up for a minute. I want this blog to be a success. I want to write something that matters, something that entertains, something that educates, something that resonates with you. When I get that feeling that I don't know what to write about, almost every time, it comes to me. Somehow, magically, it just works. Most of the time.

Thank You!

I just wanted to take a moment to send a shout-out to all of my friends and family who’ve been so supportive of this blog, and especially to all our readers so far!  Subtracting the 3 posts that aren’t really posts (such as the privacy policy), this is substantive post #50. I feel really great about that. 

I have been doing this for less than 2 months and have been working hard to create material that is engaging, heartwarming, at times humorous, and also thought-provoking.  Anna is my major source of inspiration, but I also draw so much from the comments I get from readers, and I really appreciate everyone who has taken the time to contribute feedback and comments on the posts. I really do want this blog to be informative and interesting as well as entertaining.  Generating a dialogue and developing a community of parents who can support and advise each other is important to me. Thank you all for participating!
