Blogging and Diversity

One of the things I most enjoy about blogging, is the diversity of people I meet.

One minute I can be talking with a stay-at-home mom or dad, and the next minute I’m conversing with a teacher, artist, writer, or pastor.

I’ve always been one of those individuals who enjoys surrounding myself with people who are outside the realm of my own personal experiences, because it allows me to feel something different than myself.

This is one of the reasons why I enjoy traveling.

I have the soul of a gypsy and can pretty much adapt to wherever I am.

The world is a huge place and I enjoy experiencing all the delicious flavors.

As a blogger, I can instantly make contact with not only people in the U.S., but also from Europe, Asia, Australia…all over.

I’ve blogged with individuals from every spiritual belief, race, gender, sexual orientation, political view…you name it. And I find that fascinating.

Blogging is such a valuable tool in connecting people with one another, because initially we don’t SEE the person we’re talking to. Sometimes our eyes can interfere with making a connection to someone, because are eyes have limitations. Blogging allows us to abandon our sight, and connect though something far more powerful…our feelings.

We all go through unique life experiences, and it’s wonderful to be able to share these experiences with one another, because it enables us to feel something that would otherwise be alien.

I’ve witnessed countless times, people supporting one another blogging, through just the energy behind their words.

And as a result...felt tremendous healing.

Blogging enables us to reach far out into the world and touch something different.

So I would just like to take the time to thank you ALL for introducing yourselves to me, and for sharing the diversity of your life with mine.

You see…the world is like a big bag of marbles.

And just because we’re different colors and designs…doesn’t mean we can’t play together.



Enjoy your weekend, everyone!
