I love to write, to share, to open my soul up, at least on paper ... but is it really okay to have it so transparently out there for the masses?

I am naturally a VERY private person. But here comes the dilemma - I love to blog; I love that people are reading my stories. Recently I've entered some really personal territory, and I waffle back and forth about whether I should have gone there at all.

Not that I have huge readership on my blog; or a gazillion friends here on the Buzz or Facebook. But this stuff is out if people really want to see it.

I think it's important to be honest, and sharing some of my stories may indeed help others. But I wonder at the same time if it may be at a cost; to my kids, more specifically. On the surface I don't know how it might be negative, to me it's a love story and confirms how much we so badly wanted them to love.

So I'm trying hard to keep it "my" story; about my experiences, all about the "me".

Selfish little bitch, ain't I?
