One Connection

To have a successful and prosperous life you must make connections. Whether the connections you make are considered positive or negative is all on your point of view. It's these connections we make that make us grow or retreat inside ourselves. My reason for starting this blog is because I don't feel like I've made enough connections in my life. I've decided that I want to be that one connection for people that will help them along their way. Truthfully I don't know how to do that without having connections which like I said I don't really have. But I've come up with a way that I think might help people anyway.

All my life I've been considered the go to person when you need someone to listen to you. I'm the one my friends and family go to when they need to rant and rave or sob and bounce ideas off of. I'm there to talk people down or up depending on where they want to go. I think that's how I can be the greatest help. You might think I'm starting an advice column, but I'm not. I just want to provide something that people can use.

By either emailing me at lifes.connection@gmail.com or by leaving a comment I'm letting you express yourself to a person who will be listening to all you have to say. I'm not here to judge you or criticize you in anyway. You can be anonymous or not. You can send me hate mail about the things in your life you hate, or love mail about the things you love in your life. You can bounce ideas off of me and I'll give you my honest opinion, or direct you to places that can help you. I'm here for you.

All I ask for in return is that you leave a name to call you by and whether or not you want a response back. If you do want a response please leave and email address or if you are comfortable with me posting your letter and the response on the blog let me know. I hope this helps somebody.
