		<description>I enjoyed looking at your website but have to mention that the independence day (July 4th) celebrated in America has nothing to do with the end of the Civil War.  It is in celebration of the 1776 beginning of a new country apart from Englands rule. The Civil war was not until the 1860's.  I celebrate both holidays as I am an American Australian. Thank you for allowing me to give feedback.</description>

		<description>OMG, seriously? I thought I was being self-indulgent when I wrote too much about myself. (As my wonderful English teacher taught me, I try - and sometimes fail - to eliminate the "I.")

But this new insight is freeing. And it makes sense, too. My favorite parts of the newspaper, for instance, are those first-person pieces by regular columnists. I've been reading them for years, but never did the obvious truth break through: "I" is interesting! :)

Thanks, Rebecca!

		<description>Thanks for this post. Our blog (http://travelingmamas.com) helps us break out from the every day freelancing for magazine and newspapers. I love that blogging allows me to write what I want, with no regard to what an editor or publisher assigns. A blog gives me a sense of freedom that I can't get from freelancing.

Great blog. Keep on keeping on.
