		<description>Hi Barbara .. blogging gives us a way of putting across another aspect of life, allowing others to visit perhaps our world.

Somewhere someone mentioned entertainment, possibly the next post (&quot;my comment question&quot;) - I can see many ways of developing my blog .. but I&#039;d like to think that my blog is a place of retreat for my readers, where they can experience soemthing different, away from their busy worlds or from their own niches.

I know here Amy with her radio show has expanded her horizons.

Interesting ideas people have come up with - 

All the best - Hilary Melton-Butcher

		<description>Hi Natural,

You know, you&#039;re the first one to say you use your blog for entertainment, but having followed you for quite some time now, I can see how the two have become a good fit for you.  With your knowledge of the creative processes (videos, etc) and your sense of humor, your blog is definitely entertaining. 

You don&#039;t just have a blog, nor exclusively a vlog. Now we just have to come up with a title for you. (Haha - that sounds like material for a future post for you :) )</description>

		<description>i do think there is a difference between a writer and a blogger. sometimes a writer writes and uses blogging as the platform. 

i consider myself a writer, but sometimes an entertainer because i also enjoy entertaining and i use my blog as an outlet.  sometimes, i get in teacher mode, but not too many people want people teaching them stuff, especially if they are not aware of your credentials, so i don&#039;t. :)

		<description>Thank you Sara, 

How beautifully put - &quot;...sometimes I’m a writer, sometimes a teacher, a storyteller, and sometimes a photographer. That’s what I love about blogging; it lets you express all the different parts of yourself:~) &quot;  That it does, and how fortunate we all are to have found this medium for expression of our many traits.</description>

		<description>Barbara -- I used to get mad at myself for always arriving late to your posts. This time it was a good thing because I spent time reading all the other comments, which I enjoyed. This is an excellent topic to generate great comments.

When I was done, I thought of the story about the blind men and the elephant. Each felt a different part of the elephant and declared what the elephant was based on the part he felt. In truth, the elephant was everything that all the blind men described. It was a matter of perspective.

Each of us relates to blogging with our own unique perspective. In my case, I am a blogger who likes variety; sometimes I&#039;m a writer, sometimes a teacher, a storyteller, and sometimes a photographer. That&#039;s what I love about blogging; it lets you express all the different parts of yourself:~)
