I haven't written in the last week because I'm a tad paranoid. I've been asked (more than once) if prior posts were intended for a specific other person; which in a way is good. At least folks are seeing some connection to their own experience, even if that connection is not direct. Now I'm caught between the desire to have a positive influence on someone's life and the fear that someone else will take a general comment personally and feel the need to dislike me.
Long term, I hope to see this little "e-zine" I'm working on read by more than "just" people that I know. To write about specific people would bore and turn off other potential readers. Not my goal, really. So if you should ever suspect a post is about you, or someone we both know, here is what I suggest:
Decide if the information is valid and useful. If it isn't, disregard it; simple as that. If it is, use it freely, and consider it a secret gift from me to you. It doesn't matter whether you were the inspiration for the piece or not; if it makes you think, informs you of new options, or helps you with a decision (even the simple ones, like "what's for dinner?"), then my mission is accomplished.
