Glad you got a chance to stop by! :) <br /><br />Susan W.,<br />Thanks so much! I'm with you. Blogging doesn't have to be the cookie cutter approach. :) <br /><br />Rhonda,<br />I know what you mean and have to agree. Sometimes I wonder just what others are jumping on the "bandwagon" for, you know? :) <br /><br />Cecelia,<br />I too, appreciate Jennifer's candor and insight. It's refreshing, isn't it? :) <br /><br />Medeia,<br />I think your approach has worked well for you. :) All one needs to do is visit your blog to see it work!<br /><br />Janette,<br />The JBB train has much to offer! :) Jen always has smart, savvy advice. Jen is a blessing, isn't she? <br /><br />Lilith,<br />It's all a balance, right? I think the best blogs reflect the writer's personality. :) <br /><br />Jennifer,<br />It was a pleasure, as always!
