BLOG FROM THE HEART
You may already know about Getupgrrl, the proprietress of Chez Miscarriage. She's a phenomenal person, undergoing a torturous process in trying to conceive children. She's a humorist and a sensitive soul, and the way she relates her struggle is both funny and heartbreaking.
You may not know about the California Hammonds, in which Greg, pater familias chronicles his life after losing his wife to cancer.
But they're both profiled in this article in the San Francisco Chronicle. Blogs do good, people. They're not just a waste of time. But I'm preachin' to the choir, right?
Why do you blog?

For the same reason I tried to keep journals, to force my thoughts into a coherent whole.
Blogging has been more successful than journaling because even the possibility of someone reading it makes me work harder. I find myself visualizing a reader going [Jon Stewart "Whaaa..?" noise] when faced with my random ramblings. That image makes me try to come to some conclusion, a thread to tie it all together for the reader and myself.
In the end I'm hoping to find insight and clarity into who I am and why I do the things I do.
Of course the conclusion I come to most often is: "I don't know." But hey, I'm working at it.
