Several days ago Karin from www.thekissbusinesstoo.co.uk tagged me to write about how blogging has changed my life, and business.  Interestingly, and in perfect synchronicity, I had been thinking about that for a few weeks before I was tagged.  Karin is usually a day or two ahead of my thought processes.  And I was thinking I am grateful for having been introduced into the blogging world by Dawud of www.dmiracle.com.

So, first off, I am Stuart, and I am a grateful blogaholic.

As Dawud was adding to my website for me a few months ago he said that the quickest way to get exposure was to blog and visit other worthwhile blogs and make significant comments.

Boy, he was right.

I have been exposed to a world of connection that I never dreamt existed.  I have come to write posts fairly easily that emerge from my gut.  I eagerly read other prized bloggers and make comments.  I eagerly look to see what comments may be on my blog.

Conclusion: There are some great people out there just a keyboard away!  There are people who say that computer-source communication has no heart.  This is not my experience at all.  I get inspired and warm and fuzzy from blog communication.

I have been an amateur and occasional professional writer for years, but I find that writing blogs, sharing them and entering into conversation with them helps me know myself, my passions and my priorities in a way that is far different than writing with no communication back.  Writing about what I really care about and then sharing it helps center me, renew me and expand me.  I am really appreciative of this experience.

In my efforts to work with communication and cooperation centered around the construction industry, time and time again issues of clarity, honesty and good will emerge.  They are fundamental to the process.

And, in my humble opinion, they are fundamental to rich blogging.

Thanks, Karin.
