I tend to be a loner and blaze my own trail, ok that is not entirely true. I really, really dislike 'groupiness'. As I get older and mellow a little I realize that I actually need others to further grow as a person. This blog is a baby step towards contributing to the community at large. My goal is the 'middle way' of community involvement.
I do not wish to have a cult following or anything like that, but a few people to provide feedback every now and then would be nice. I used to despise individuals that seemed to be on a power kick massaging their egos constantly. I have to amend my thinking because I am beginning to realize that people are just people and I should not judge them so harshly.
Just because I have a smaller need to be needed than some, it does not mean others' behavior is incorrect. By blogging occasionally, I have realized that people that put themselves out there day after day either blogging, speaking, training, moderating, reviewing, or whatever should be proud of their craft. It takes a special type of person go give so much.
So here is to everyone already contributing, I can only hope to do my part to help.
