It HAS been a surprise to find "blog kindreds"~friends in the blogosphere. My "real lifers" don't get it; they think I've got a problem (and the truth is, I have to limit my computer time 'cause it'd be way too easy to "live" here and not in the real world). For quite a while, I blogged w/out sharing my link; it was simply an outlet. Then, I got "brave" and shared it with a few friends. What I found out is THEY RARELY POST COMMENTS! They read, talk to me about it, email me, but are too shy to post. Soooo, I decided if I'm gonna have any interaction I've got to post to other bloggers. It took me a while to get over my shyness that way, but now I love it and wish I had more time to devote to it. I love the concept of your site and a slowly forming vision (?)...dream (?) is to build some kind of site that combines some of my passions/giftings to share with others. For now, it's just an outlet. Blessings! Hey Janice, So glad you stopped by my site and I’m glad to have finally bounced over here.

I see your "5 Minutes for Mom" button all over the place, so you don't seem like a newcomer at all! Thanks for doing a great job of linking moms to each other. It's a great way to build a sense of community as we journey together through mothering. :) Janice,

Real women with real lives who open their hearts and minds to share joys and sorrows, trials and triumphs, prayers and praises - what a blessing! The internet isn't just for psychos anymore!

I did a blog about it so maybe you can check it out. Living here in Hawaii that may be hard for me, but you never know. I do think this is a great way to spread God's word also and to find out how everyone else deals with their daily lives and living a Christian life.

I never thought they would become real friends, but I feel that the minute I meet them, whenever and however that will be, we'll just pick up right where we left off, at the last post. Couldn't agree with you more...neighbour! 'Cause you almost are. Take care and enjoy your evening...what's left of it anyway.Rena I’ve been blogging since May and have “met” some truly real people who inspire me, make me laugh, make me wish I lived next door, and whom I think about and pray for.

It took me quite awhile to join in the fun. It is overwhelming at times, because there are so many good sites and so little time! I was telling my husband tonight about the prayer chain in this venue and it is truly amazing. I’m new to blogging. It took me quite awhile to join in the fun.

I feel like I've made some real friends even though we have not met face to face because of the connection of being sisters in Christ, and moms, and the incredible support I've witnessed.

I remember after my first few months of blogging how overwhelmed I was at the existence and interaction of this little world of women. It's been a real blessing to me.
