                  Short answer: Not exactly. Now for the long answer ... I've
                  been struggling with this question for months. Just to be
                  clear, this isn't about writing—that can be done without a
                  blog and in many, many places. This is more about where I want
                  to write. Going back to its beginnings, the primary

                  The survey has been a blast. I can't tell you how much I
                  enjoyed reading your responses, especially when you had
                  something of your own to add. Most important to me, however,
                  has been what it's told me: everyone is busy ... really busy
                  ... but you know what you need. Just look at the numbers down

                  Please welcome guest writer Kaarina Dillabough today. We met
                  online this year but, it turns out, we're neighbors— we both
                  live in the beautiful countryside of Central Ontario, Canada.
                  (How lucky are we?!?) When I first visited Kaarina's blog, I
                  was instantly drawn to her tagline: "Dream. Decide.
                  Do." Doesn't that just say it all? Kaarina's story <br />                  <a
