		<description>Hello Christine!
Nice to meet you. How are you liking the kick *ss program? I think it has been interesting thus far...and, hey, I&#039;ve met you!

I enjoyed hearing your experiences with J. Cameron and also about your blog. I feel very much the same way! I&#039;d love to hear how your online learning community is coming together and what you enjoy about it. Good for you!

Enjoy your day and I&#039;ll be seeing you around cyberspace! :) Thanks for introducing yourself to me. Cheers!

		<description>Hi Lori,

I &quot;met&quot; you via the 31 days to kick to blog in the ass programme and thought I&#039;d wander past your site to say hello!

I enjoyed this post. I only started blogging in May or June this year, but had had a life-long desire before that to write. I&#039;d done the Julia Cameron stuff, but it wasn&#039;t till I started creating a blogsite that magic started to really happen in my life. It&#039;s like I&#039;ve set free a part of me that&#039;s been tied up for years and now things I&#039;d never have imagined are happening. For one, I&#039;m trying to create an online learning community and develop a whole different way of working for myself. Which is kind of neat, because that&#039;s really the essence of what I set out to write about, except I was thinking about it from other people&#039;s perspective!!

Good to meet you and good luck with you blog. Looking forward to continuing our development journey together!</description>

		<description>Also, I realized that I met all these amazing people through Twitter but hadn&#039;t taken the time to explore further than that.  So, I am stepping out of my rut and expanding my digital horizon and kicking myself for not having done it sooner!

		<description>Hi Beth,
It is great to see you here! Thank you very much for your comment.

I&#039;m sending you the best vibes in the world right now that you can find your &#039;natural&#039; fins and boost your power in the pool. I think you&#039;ll love it. (Thanks for taking this idea under consideration) ;)

Hey, I like that idea of &lt;i&gt;writing as a balm&lt;/i&gt;. Sometimes, even when I&#039;m leaving comments, I feel incredibly soothed. That&#039;s a super analogy. Thanks, too, for your kind words about my blog. I&#039;ll try my best not to disappoint you. :)</description>

		<description>Thank you for such an inspirational message!! Like you, I have found my agility and comfort in writing. It helps to write, especially when you don&#039;t feel as in control of your life as you&#039;d like. I appreciated your advice on Josh&#039;s site about me trying swimming as a more serious endeavor. Maybe I&#039;ll take you up on that.

I do believe that writing regularly helps provide a balm for the mind and soothes the soul.

Love your postings so much, I subscribed to your blog.</description>

		<description>Hi Mary Double-Oh-Seven!
I want to fly through cyber space and give you the biggest hug! Thanks for your comment, Mary!

Before I established my blog, I was just like &lt;i&gt;you&lt;/i&gt;, I felt like an alien here in blog land, living amongst cyber athletes. But, you know, it took a strong woman to comment, I commend you for it, and thank you! You belong here blogging, too, if ever you so desire. (If you&#039;re bored, check my post called &quot;Start a Blog&quot; for more &#039;stuff&#039; like this post.)

I could write a gargantuan-long comment here addressing your question, because I mirrored your thoughts for a really long time and you touched upon a really important point.

In short - EVERYONE IS BORN WITH AN INHERENT GIFT FOR CREATIVE WRITING. I firmly believe that - it started with cave painting a bazillion years ago. Right? Just start writing every morning or night, just two or three pages of longhand, in a notebook. You&#039;ll get the swing of things. Practice, find a good friend to share with when you&#039;re ready (or email me ;) ), and get to it! Time is ticking...

Thanks for stopping by today, and thanks for your comment over at WSL, Mary. You rock! :)</description>

		<description>Hi Lori! Nice to see you again! I almost feel like this post was meant for me. I actually feel like an alien amongst great writers because I&#039;m not a writer and I&#039;m not a blogger. I struggle to write anything; I have a hard time putting my thoughts in order and on paper. (If this doesn&#039;t make sense now you know why, lol). Yet, I love to read! I read all the time and I really wish I was a better, more creative writer. Can creative writing be learned or are you born with it?
Happy Friday!</description>

		<description>Hello Hayden!
Thanks for visiting my blog and taking time to leave a comment. Awesome!
Your writing energy comes through in your comments and blog. You &lt;i&gt;should&lt;/i&gt; consider yourself a writer, you certainly have the chops for it! And, you&#039;re blogging!

I loved what you said here. I agree - when I write, tornados form and I feel that my mind starts whipping my world into motion. What a roller coaster ride!

Enjoy your weekend, Hayden. I&#039;ll be seeing you over at Through the Illusion (love the look and feel of your blog, BTW).
