  • Does a Blog Ever Create Real Change?

    I have to say, for once, yes, two bloggers did help me make a change. Their descriptions of books were so exciting that I finally broke down and purchased the books.
    This book was recommended by Jamie. Although I do not work as an artist, I'm surprised in some ways by how much I do work like an artist. Creativity and blocks happen to me a lot. So I bought it. I want to unlock the hidden half of creativity (thus the photo, left-brain vs right-brain, etc...).

    Kelly kept praising this book as a way to deal with relocation. I moved twice in about one year in 2008, and I'm still trying to find my roots and get situated. It's such a dreadful trade-off--my job is great, but I hate my life outside my job way too often. (It has gotten much better in last few months, though!). I wish I had bought this book earlier as a way to help me cope. I am covering the author's name because I feel like I need to write this book, if that makes any sense; to think about this topic.

    So what have you done in response to a Xanga post?

  • hmmm...  i honestly couldn't trace any experience of any sort...   i think there are posts that made me think about certain issues etc, but not yet to the point of making me buy something or change something, just yet..   

  • The second one sounds like something I should read. Getting ready for the Navy to tell me where to go next!

  • I am thinking maybe I should take a look at those books too...  And, yes, I have done things in response to a post. For example, I read about someone doing a reading challenge (reading x amount of books in a year) and I decided to try it the next year. Now I know two other people who were thinking of doing it this year as well

  • Nothing recently.  But i have found favorite movies and such in the past from them.

  • Blogs by designers improve my design when they post helpful tips or simply inspire me to be more creative. Good luck planting your roots!

  • I can't think of anything but now I'm going to buy The War of Art.  So thanks!

  • Several blogs -- well, bloggers -- have changed me. A lot. Not just little things, but Big, Fundamental things. How I See The World things.

  • Some posts make me think about topics I've never really considered.  Others make me appreciate the things I'm blessed with.  A few will make me to pause and say a prayer for that person for help and guidance through their struggles.

    P.S.  I think I have the girl-version of your glasses.  Gold star!
