I have two blogs - one for writing and one to encourage those in the cancer valley - but I love that you talk from the heart and as Corinne just said, you are authentic. Well done!

I wanted to be a teacher - the closest I came was as a ballet teacher in my younger days and teaching how to complete Tax returns (hard to make that sound interesting). Everything you have written could have been me - it is scary it is so much the same.

I may not share it with everyone but the more I write, be it something I think is worth reading or not, it helps me somehow. :) And yeah, we all have a life worth writing about. And even the same incidents we see in our unique way and we should write about it. :) Happy writing and blogging, Leanne.
