I think his name was Roy or something…
Actually, circumstances have lately compelled me to focus my energies on work and family and I haven’t had much left to write anything for this blog. Longer term readers will note that the rate of my posting has decreased over the last few months as well. This isn’t specifically due to a lack of things to say, however. It would be more accurate to portray as a disinclination to say these things.
What I’m talking about is that I’ve personally grown tired of the meta-blogging. I believe I’ve covered this topic before and indicated that my interest has evolved more in the direction of self improvement. I find that continually striving for better in whatever form that may take in my life, is necessary to my own spiritual survival. I’m sure I’m not alone in this.
I still intend to write the occasional post about the state of blogging or making money online, but those posts are most likely going to be less frequent. I would like to make this blog more personal, however, rather than less. It’s not to pump up my own ego that I say that most readers come here not for the information, but to hear it from this particular author.
Again, this isn’t a unique phenomenon, but the reason for the success of many bloggers (and writers, in general). It’s the voice, the personality, that separates each of us from the pack. A modicum of talent is required, of course, but I would postulate that exceptional ability in any arena must be coupled with particular elements of personality and character in order for it to amount to any real success.
Ultimately, I haven’t disappeared from the face of the blogosphere. I’m still here, brimming with things to talk and write about. Some of those things will eventually end up here on this blog. Others will hopefully end up somewhere in print. To everyone who remains a reader here: Thanks for sticking with me. I really do appreciate it. Keep checking FreshBlogger. There are interesting days ahead.

We sometimes need to change our lives, and blog content. I keep doing it, although the blog is only 2 months old. But I guess this is different as I had no idea in the beginning on what to blog about.
I wish you the best of luck.
Self improvement is a great topic to blog about and I for one would readily read, and exchange views. There is really no end to self improvement and it is a topic that does need a serious forum.
Why do I say this? I am no spring chicken but, I find even much younger people that I am constrained to interact with tend to be like barnacles. Having found whatever niche that gives them a living, they get stuck to it and start to plan for their retirement. There is little self renewal and to me, brought up to believe that life is to keep learning and constant renewal, it is galling.
I really look forward to your starting off this blog on this road and I am sure that it will turn out to be a great one with a lot of inputs from interested and serious visitors.
Welcome back! I’m all about self realization right now, haven’t got to the improvement part of things. This couplet describes me somewhat:
“A man so various he seemed to be,
Not one but all mankind’s epitome,
And was in the course of one revolving moon,
A statesman, fiddler and buffoon!”
I have been a lawyer, chocolate maker, homemaker, freelance article writer, designer and blog reader/commentator among other things. How’s that for mixed up??
Leather Recliners,
I’d say you’re a scanner. It takes one to know one
Here’s an article that explains it better than I…

I’m not getting anything out of that, just passing on some info.

It’s a very nice attitude to push yourself for self improvement. I guess only through this self improvement can a person grow in life. And I must say you are lucky that you realize that you need improvement, this opens lots of doors for yourself. There are many people think that they are perfect and need no improvement, such people are so closed to accept any kind of changes.
Self improvement is great food for though. Actually, finding the motivation to do it is the true key to success.
