I got a comment today that asked me to add a “share” button to my blog. This will allow people to post what I write to most social media sites, or to email the information to other people. My first reaction was, “I don’t know how to do that!” Then I figured it out and my second reaction was a sense of loss of control. Right now I maintain the illusion of control of this information by only having it appear here. Not that people couldn’t copy and paste it. But control is almost always an illusion.
So…I bit the bullet and added the button that lets readers forward my blog and writings to just about anyone. Maybe what I write will be important to somebody else. I know it is to me. I am pretty sure that I always cite information that I have gotten from other sources, or the work of others, so I feel I am being ethical. And I am not selling anything, recommending anything, or advertising anything, so I don’t have to feel like my writing suddenly means something beyond what I write each day (or so…). I’m still just a fat boy on a journey to health and this is my map to show me where I am going and where I have been.
Feel free to Pass It On!
