I think that can work. But I think what's a lot more interesting is people talking about things they're passionate about, and doing it in an honest way, without reverence. When I think about the blogs that I find most interesting, and read most frequently, they share those characteristics. There's a lot of people in the world, a couple hundred might stop reading because of being more honest and transparent, but a couple thousand more might start, no? I'll be honest and say that what's always kept me subscribed to your blog and reading is the irreverence. You're not an echo. That's inspiring.

I am a firm believer in "failing to succeed" as it is the greatest teacher, and thus, the greatest method of learning. It's practical, and allows for contemplation and innovation. When it comes to your blog, it is obvious to me that you have been doing something right. Whatever it is, you ought to keep it up. You know how to maintain a line of improvement, so you needn't worry, as your blog is only going to get much better. Rebecca,

Although it's mainly due to her career (law), it's still a pain. However, I've got to realize that someone's 'personal space' can stretch into the web.
