It amazes me, that blogs and reblogs you believe would draw great interest, lots of views but then don’t; and the simplest of comments or stories draws loads of public interest and comments.
Never assume too much what people want to hear or read. Write with your heart and what you know, add a little creativity from time to time and hope you aren’t alone.
When conversation picks up from a blog I initiated, I feel a wonderful sense of accomplishment, especially with comments from followers. Dialogue on issues begin and are hashed out . Disagreements are expected, understanding and respect are built from sharing thoughts and ideas from faces we never see and have never met.
I recently had a blogger friend ask if I knew how she and her husband could go about adopting a young teenage child, possibly an immigrant/ok I’ll say it refugee. Another follower read the blog and responded with contact information of an agency/organization that may be of assistance. Wow….how great is that. Blogging can serve a wonderful purpose, when good people get involved; but you knew that. Even if nothing becomes of it….the fact people are willing to share to help another, is a sign there is still hope for us as a nation. We still care.
