Why am I blogging?

I have a fairly practical nature and I value honesty.  So to be honest the first reason for this blog site is a very practical one:   marketing!  I am resigned that old marketing methods which relied on the personal (as "in person")  warm contact are still valuable but are being made obsolete by the overwhelming influence of electronic communications.  In other words, if you're not on the Net, you soon won't be anywhere. I'm also cheap.  Blogging is free and until I can figure out my own website, I figured I'd try a personal and warm presence right here.

I have also resisted until recently the current culture's narcissism in broadcasting one's thoughts, feelings, minute-by-minute updates on activities, etcetera to the universe at large.  Cyber-exhibitionism?  I took out a Facebook page only to keep in contact with family members in other countries, because it seems they had forsaken old-fashioned e-mail channels!  I won't ever Twitter.  At the same time, a second reason for this blog is that I have enough narcissism to hope that maybe I have some unique thoughts to share that might be of some value and influence to others besides my clients (maybe my friends and family might read them too! ; ) )

If you have some comments or feedback and it is constructive, encouraging, or uplifting in nature, I welcome your input.  (If your comments are negative, don't bother  - they will be deleted mostly unread because in the life that is left to me I don't have the time or energy to waste on them.)

Look forward to meeting you on the Net!
