Other bloggers, relatives, friends, and even clients have told me, "I wish I could do that".
The "that" they are talking about is me just using my blog for whatever I feel like using my blog for. To bitch. To remember. To honor. To tell tales. To celebrate wins, and share losses.
They say, "I use my blog for business, so I can’t do that". I reply, "then start another blog – or, don’t be afraid to let your customers know who you are".
I’m a pretty open guy – sure I have my secrets. But they are few. Many of them were secrets until I revealed them in this blog – now they aren’t so secret.
I like my open blog format. It won’t win me any awards, or get me a ton of readers. I’m fine with that. Because like it or not, I don’t write this blog for you. I write it for me.
And everyone who has told me, "I wish I could do that" really needs to – even if it is a private blog that nobody but them ever sees.
Everyone needs to be able to tell their stories – even if they don’t really want anyone to hear them.
