I have to say how much I LOVE these posts! Of course on our posts, we always post our best pictures, our best results and never show the rest of it or the other days. <br />Thanks so much for your wonderful post, I am so glad I found your blog!Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08422835627031789728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1379093287265592451.post-27481024778031284362010-09-22T14:35:07.129-05:002010-09-22T14:35:07.129-05:00Oh most definitely!Oh most definitely!Jocelyn Christensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10342635172904848811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1379093287265592451.post-34407634384850797422010-09-22T00:47:19.369-05:002010-09-22T00:47:19.369-05:00I feel just the same!

Does the sense of pride it gives us improve our whole-selves? I sure hope so!Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06194423735922298630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1379093287265592451.post-23446184184472992382010-09-21T23:34:57.332-05:002010-09-21T23:34:57.332-05:00Oh elizabeth, I love your confessions! You have su...Oh elizabeth, I love your confessions! You have such a talent for bringing up topics that everyone can relate to. Or do you...? ;)<br /><br />I think that is the beauty of the virtual world -- you can create yourself as any person you want to be. When I was in jr high I was very self-conscious and quiet and really quite the bookworm-nerd. I decided that I didn't want to be that shy forever, so I started faking it until it became who I was. The movie Legally Blonde actually played a large part in this... anyway... I think you've hit the nail on the head. We can fake (or just exaggerate) who we are online and then hopefully that makes us more like that in real life. For example, I really don't like when people only whine and complain on their blogs (mostly personal blogs), so I have made a very specific point NOT to do that on my blog. And then this has translated into my life. If I won't blog like that, I tend to not talk like that. And that makes me sound a little crazy, but you know what I mean!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02881734963401294721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1379093287265592451.post-88575897727089144322010-09-21T22:31:02.627-05:002010-09-21T22:31:02.627-05:00I'm really enjoying your confession posts - th...I'm really enjoying your confession posts - they make me think!<br />I feel like my "blog persona" is one side of me - the creative crafty side that otherwise would be swamped by the everyday chores of being a wife and mummy. Since I've started blogging I have tried things I haven't done before and enjoyed having the forum to share them. <br />I'd like to think its still the "real" me - and maybe a side that not all my friends and family have seen.CraftyMummyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07704980612304704662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1379093287265592451.post-24274128536534401352010-09-21T22:29:56.155-05:002010-09-21T22:29:56.155-05:00another great post, Elizabeth!!another great post, Elizabeth!!Mandy Beyelerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11161745997385818862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1379093287265592451.post-88955739869558629082010-09-21T22:19:56.803-05:002010-09-21T22:19:56.803-05:00I love your Tuesday posts.

I'd like my blog to make me look a little skinnier. :)<br />I sometimes think I'm more "me" on my blog and by email than I am in real life. I'm not always so good at talking to people, or saying what I think in person. But when I write it I have time to think through it and I can say what I want and mean.<br />So maybe it's good practice, like you said, for being that person with people face to face. :) Someday.Beverly {Flamingo Toes}https://www.blogger.com/profile/15090135564641204102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1379093287265592451.post-47806901420177306482010-09-21T22:03:40.371-05:002010-09-21T22:03:40.371-05:00I am the person on my blog that many of my close f...I am the person on my blog that many of my close friends know, but that some other people never have taken the time to know. Hope that makes sense. I have relatives who read my blog in several states and because we have always lived apart from each other, they now feel like they are getting to know me! I love blogging and sharing the real me. Well, most of the time. Sometimes I leave out the whining but if I'm feeling really bad, I do a little of that, too. :-)Sandi Linn Andersenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15275591320281892830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1379093287265592451.post-28104585080479562522010-09-21T21:39:08.501-05:002010-09-21T21:39:08.501-05:00No matter how hard I try, I cannot get my blog to ...No matter how hard I try, I cannot get my blog to make me look skinny. LOL<br /><br />I love this post, and your candor. I appreciate that you believe you are the "better" version of you when you post and that your blog inspires you to be the better you.<br /><br />My blog has inspired me to think more creatively in all aspects of my life. I tend to compartmentalize, the uncreative side of me at work and the creative side of me at home. My blog inspires me to be the creative side both at work and at home.Mindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00872240818998926116noreply@blogger.com
