That’s the plan. I fully intend to take this blog and push it on every person that will talk to me. I try to bring this blog up during every conversation that I have with people – “So sad to hear your dog died. It actually reminds me of this one post that I wrote about the time when my daughter broke up with her boyfriend. That was sad too. See, we have so much in common! You should read my blog!” At this point, I think I am becoming a blog “pusher.” I want you to become addicted and I want you to tell your friends.
