Today we are taking the last of my daughters belongings to her new residence. She is moving to the city to go to Uni. She is a competent, independent young woman and I am immensely proud of her and confident that she will make a great life for herself and will be diligent and successful in her studies. I imagine she will have learning experiences about living away from home and I feel nervous and excited for her.
Most of all I will miss her. She is a fabulous daughter. I have adored her since the moment of her birth and this new letting go, just like the previous steps she has made into the world, I must admit make me long for the time when she was a toddler with wild curly hair and a trusting smile, asking plenty of questions, smiling a lot and taking great delight in everything around her. The tickles and cuddles are less frequent and the questions are harder to answer, even though they are more interesting now.

Kathy Sierra’s Creating Passionate Users, Valentine’s Day post is spot on. As are most of her posts.
“And why do you read this blog? I always ask myself, “how can I help my readers in some way?” Whether it’s a tip or trick, a post you can use to help make your case to your boss, a new way of looking at something, a potential source for an idea, a pointer to something useful…I try to make 90% of the posts here for you. And you in turn respond with the most amazing, insightful, inspirational, and often entertaining comments. What’s good for you is what’s good for the blog. And for me.”
I love reading this blog because she does provide useful ideas. It works. Thanks Kathy

These first two articles came to my attention today so I went to Google News and was quite surprised by the number of articles. It’s feeling very mainstream to me now. I guess enough has been said!
