I've been learning about trust lately. I mean, all of life has been about learning to trust in one form or another... ... but right now, trust is kind of a theme... Right now, trust means letting go.

Ok, so maybe that's a slight exaggeration, but you get the idea. So here we go... I was listening to a random talk show a few weeks back on my way home from work and they were discussing social networking, and how it is affecting our society. I know you have all heard the rants about the pro's and cons of it all, in fact my fabulous sister is willing and able to give you a piece of her mind on this matter. Just ask her :) ( http://lifeissofullofanumberofthings.blogspot.com/2009/02/facebook-friends.html ) But something they said that has kind of stuck with me is that with all of this networking, whether its blogging or Facebooking, or Twittering, or w...
