[...] Blogging opens up a lot of new opportunities. It’s as though you’re constantly “out” there, without really putting yourself out there. People find you; agencies, public relations professionals, editors for other publications, etc. It’s exciting, always interesting and at the same time, humbles me because I forget (sometimes) that this blog is entirely public and oh yeah, that people actually read it.

@Andrew Oh thank you. I didn't know how to quite react, so I remember to remain calm and think before I acted. But really, thanks for your support and kind words. It was an interesting and scary situation, but always something to learn from everything, right?

Thanks for sending me the link here Grace.

@Kim Your answer is eloquent and you bring up a good point. We must continue to provide value and like I said, truth alone triumphs. I think it comes out in the end, almost always. Thanks for sharing.

The one thing I've learned over the years is that people learn differently. Varying perspectives help aid in the learning process. Maybe I explain something from my point of view that doesn't click with someone, but the way you explain it does.
