My blog isn't attracting much traffic. Ummmm...

I came across an interesting post by Crystal Otto called  Leggings and Memoirs. She mentions this book How to Become a Heroic Writer By Jerry Waxler. I find it interesting and it sounds like it will help me write my memoirs without fear of hurting anyone. Crystal said to have confidence and write what you please. When you write what you please, it works better than trying to please others. This is true in life itself. I commented on her post: Connie Koehler said... Thank you, Crystal. This post has reassured me. I like that you said, "...so just please yourself!" I, we, are more, so much more, than our leggings.

I will write about some of the things I have gone through, since I first heard of him having cancer to how I have felt along his journey. Right now, we all feel hopeful and this is important to feel this positive energy because it helps in the heali...
