I've checked out a few new blogs today and revisited a few favorites. The thing that I found that I like are the people that make comments on everyday life while maintaining a bit of levity. Some of the more "brooding" ones are hard to get through.
Now to the point, the reason I decided to start this blog was because I was going through a really weird time but thanks to the modern miracle of drugs, I'm in a "happier" place than I was back then. (Turns out that a hormone imbalance was causing a lot of my "angst" and lack of energy.)
The real reason I wanted to blog was to keep an online journal of my daily emotional battles; I have issues but I don't feel overwhelmingly consumed by them. Every once in a while I'll have a situation that really "brings me down" and I struggle.
I would hope that sharing some of my life experiences would help others but somehow I don't get how "putting it out there" would accomplish that purpose. If I went to a specialized blog or joined an online community, that might suffice.

Another random thought...
I finally requested information:
Master of Science (MS) in Education
Training and Performance Improvement Specialization
The master's degree specialization in training and performance improvement is designed for professionals in roles that include training specialist, career counselor, professional coach, sales trainer, adult educator, and performance improvement consultant. Based on the American Society of Training and Development's (ASTD) Human Performance Improvement Model, this online program will teach you how to apply human performance technology to improve productivity in various organizational settings.
I can see myself doing this. I would eventually LOVE to be an executive career/life coach. (Coaching was one of the highest scores I received on the MAPP career assessment. Go to www.assessment.com. I'm glad I did.) I love taking self-assessments and love when others do the same. Its one way of getting to know others on a different level. The last couple of years that I taught, my kids took the Myers-Briggs online and many were surprised at what they found. Life is such an incredible journey... I feel that if I can help others with an authentic path, they might find the fullfillment that I think I'm getting closer to. (So much for brooding here, lol.)
Maybe I just answered my previous question... hooray for levity!!
Peace to all,
Mon :-)

You know, I'm sure there is a MySpace group that you could post with about day-to-day life...My students can give you some MySpace tips about things to post! :)
Hang in there. Things may drag from day to day, but overall time passes quite quickly, and hopefully the negatives will pass away (how Revelation of me).
