I still find it difficult to spill on personal stuff, I don't know what it is, perhaps a fear of Oprah? Not that blogging is like an Oprah Winfrey show, it's more the voyeurism side of things that makes me uncomfortable. <br /><br />All the same, the comments it generated really hit home for me how many similarities there are in relationships and how if we talked about them more, perhaps problems would look less like problems? It's made me think about writing about a number of other topics too as well as spilling the beans a bit more often but I haven't had the time or headspace at this end of the year. The upside is, there's a lot of fodder in store for 2010.<br /><br />Whilst I have your attention, may I have your postal address? I need to pop something in the post to you.<br /><br />Thanks again Gina.M* (Melanie)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04448379937051076540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357112082384743476.post-61991958093833374692009-12-18T19:56:15.337+11:002009-12-18T19:56:15.337+11:00What a great post Gina - thank you.

I am also enjoying having a look at some 'unschooling'blogs like soluelmama, this inspired life and the natural parent centre. although my little one is not even close to going to school yet, i appreciate reading about a new perspective on conventional education so that i don't just put him in school because i think there are no other options... we'll see what happens. thanks for all the great links. there is so many inspirational stories out there! xo m.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00878259391140205192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357112082384743476.post-61025945766264712202009-12-18T03:52:58.803+11:002009-12-18T03:52:58.803+11:00thanks for posting these! so inspiring... :)thanks for posting these! so inspiring... :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16667211370565584993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357112082384743476.post-43360669900364425122009-12-17T21:22:35.590+11:002009-12-17T21:22:35.590+11:00I agree with what others said, I did really love k...I agree with what others said, I did really love kate and leonies posts and had missed the others.

Until then it was a journal of my crafting life with no real personal stuff at all. I had been agonising over this issue for a bit and when I made the decision to blog it it just spewed out of me. It was cathartic but I had no idea how it would be received. In the end it was such a blessing because all the comments and emails helped me process what was going on and come to terms with the fact that it is ok to be conflicted, that's what makes us sensitive women. <br />Those other posts all had a big impact on me too.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04234467488696653117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357112082384743476.post-64376761732266911622009-12-17T19:45:24.433+11:002009-12-17T19:45:24.433+11:00Oh...I'm a bit teary!!! xxooOh...I'm a bit teary!!! xxooLeonie Guldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09787448815326799495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1357112082384743476.post-35381223871282956632009-12-17T18:25:33.644+11:002009-12-17T18:25:33.644+11:00Thank you!!

There are so many great people out there and I often feel like I'm skimming the surface of the blogs I read. You've really helped me to see that I need to stop and think about what it means to have a quality connection with other blogs and bloggers.<br /><br />So I think the answer to your question is this post has been one that has particularly got me thinking this year.
