		<description>What a nice surprise to open my Google Reader after vacation and see a post from you!  I&#039;ve always occupied a different little corner of the book blogging world than you have over the years, but I can still &#039;get&#039; what you&#039;re saying. As someone earlier mentioned I&#039;ve wondered over the past few months how you were feeling about some of the goings on I observe from afar.  Nevertheless I&#039;ve missed your presence and the way you can make me think and reconsider perceptions with your posts. 

I really hope that revitalizing with a new look will give you the fresh take you need. Hope to see much more from you in the future.</description>

		<description>Yeah tbh what I learned by trying to do a business is that I can&#039;t do this stuff for a business and still love it! Like I was just mentioning to Carrie, it&#039;s just that the community I&#039;ve known has changed and people have quit for various reasons and I feel a bit lost. 

Thanks for your kind words. :)</description>

		<description>It&#039;s not so much the big blogging opportunities as it is the way that&#039;s affected what I used to perceive as my blogging community if that makes any sense. Also a lot of people have stopped blogging who were in my close circle....so I just feel a bit adrift.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m with Carrie - all the &quot;big&quot; stuff has happened to other people but to be honest I&#039;m totally okay with that. I love reading and discussing what I read with others, but for me blogging has to stop there. Because I have a full-time job, a husband, responsibilities, etc., and I just do not have the time or the energy to make my blog anything but something I do for fun. 

I know you&#039;ve been having quite the slump lately but every time I see you post something I feel happy :) So I hope you don&#039;t completely stop ever. But I totally understand the feeling of being at a stand-still. I&#039;m here if you ever want to chat.</description>

		<description>I can understand the emotional struggle you&#039;ve experienced over blogging. For a while there, I was really disappointed that all the &quot;big&quot; opportunities seem to happen to other people. But in the past year, I&#039;ve come to an understanding with myself. I&#039;m content with my little corner of the book blogosphere, and I love the bloggers who inhabit it. That is good enough for me. :) 

I have missed your posts here, but understand having a slump. Glad you&#039;ve found some new inspiration!</description>
