I, too, struggle with the blogging situation, and have had to do very much what you are doing now several times. I am committed to blogging honestly and truthfully, and trying to inspire others with real feelings and our down-to-earth struggles. I find that is all I have to contribute these days, and maybe that's enough? I hope so. Thank you for your blog and your creativity and your willingness to be so open. That honesty will save us in the end, I think! Best wishes to you, and prayers for your journey. xo.<br />Amy (sweetsweetlife-amy.blogspot.com)Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02771927914681357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8146253307246225949.post-1418785002063741752011-03-09T22:00:56.730-06:002011-03-09T22:00:56.730-06:00I just found your blog tonight and fell in love wi...I just found your blog tonight and fell in love with it and you immediately by this post!
