brave new world?
Someone stopped me the other day, told me they enjoyed my blog and said, "You're so brave to do that."
Brave?
I never really thought of it that way. In fact, the more I do think about it, I think blogging might actually be the opposite of brave.
From the comfort of my desk chair, I spill out the thoughts I want you to read, the observations I want you to deem important, the worldview I think you should have. You read and read and read, and I never have to know you, hear you, or, frankly, really care about you.
Real, authentic, two-way, hard-fought relationship -- loving someone to their guts -- that's brave.

Have I mentioned how beautiful you look today? :-)
