Often I will chew on a problem or sometimes just a thought until I begin obsessing about it. Blogging helps to get it away from me so I can have some mental peace. Its very theraputic. This really is a wonderful blog.

What insight! I think you have honed in on continuing education for ourselves as adults, mothers, teachers... Something I believe is very important. Always learning.

Cassandra - I love your blog and will put it on my blog roll for sure. Thank you for connecting the dots between introversion and blogging. I love that like writing, when I speak, I never know what people might take away ( if anything). Not having expectations about the impact has been most rewarding. Your piece about blogging is one example:)
Thank you for your thoughtful piece.

Thanks for sharing your perspective on this. I've had the same thing happen to me, too!

Blogging (and writing in general) has helped me become more articulate in my daily life. Some of the essays and thoughts I've blogged about pop out in my words and conversations with others now. the first time it happened, I was surprised. AFter that, just delighted.

PS: I have some friends who don't think so highly about bloggers. They think we are vain and self centered, etc. While there are plenty of blogs out there of that nature, there are also plenty others of blogs, like yours, that inspire thought, closeness to God, and creativity. Thank you.

I love hearing about all the additional benefits to blogging from each of you! This is exactly the point of my series on blogging. There are great things about blogging that have nothing to do with traffic numbers, selling books, and building a PR platform. Those things happen -- for some people who are seeking to make them happen. But the greatest benefits of blogging are connected to the ways that blogging enriches our lives and changes us.

A wonderful list, Cassandra! Blogging has required me to focus, write more succinctly, and try to hone in on what interests others. All of those skills will hopefully make me a better writer overall!

Great post! I agree that blogging is a useful thing to do with one's solitude but I also try to cut my blogging down on weekends so that I can do other nice things too.

I would have to say that blogging helps me to be more disciplined. I am very disciplined in some areas, but struggle in others. Blogging is just another way to apply discipline to my life. :)
