Why I share my personal trials, struggles, and triumphs...
Category Blogging
One blog I read often is Tom Peters, and he has an entry in his blog today that resonates strongly with me. He shared that his mother passed away, along with thoughts on depression and a number of other "non-business" subjects. When asked why he chooses to be personal, he gave this answer in the first paragraph...
A few of you have been surprised that I've been talking about depression, my Mom, etc. There are two reasons. First, I think Blogs should be personal & authentic. Hey, we're a Community! It's the Whole Damn point! Learning, Growing, Musing, and Caring together.
And *that's* why I share more than just "what happened at work today"... We "head-in-the-sand" Notes people have to stick together... :)

Since my life heavily revolves around my kids, I have a hard time posting a lot of it. I notice that other people put a fair amount of information on their blogs about what their kids are interested in, what they're doing. Sometimes I wonder if that's not a good thing.
Have fun.....
