Who Are You?

So I was thinking, as i always tend to do, and I'm kind of wondering who actually reads this. I know of a few people, it says they're following this, and then there are the others who comment on what I write. Then you have all these mystery people who know about it but I wonder if they check it at all. Some of my residents have heard I do and may have passed the word, other friends may have heard about it from other friends, and of course there are those who I know used to read this and now I am a little out of touch with. I hesitate to say a lot of things because i really don't know who will read them, and sometimes I wonder if I should just say "fuck it" and post it anyway. I don't of course, that would have way too big a chance to hurt people or push them away. So instead I sit here and wonder what will be safe to say. As open as I am in this blog about aspects of my life there are aspects I almost completely avoid. Some wounds really don't need the added salt.

So maybe I'll post a challenge to those of you reading this, send me a fbook msg, text, or some comment on this post. You can say something only i would attribute to you or just put your name. You can stay anonymous if you wish, but it might make this easier and more enjoyable for those reading if I know who actually cares enough to check on this frequently. So feel free to give me a shout out, or not, it's really up to you. But I am curious as to who reads this and look forward to at least finding out a few names. And if you know others who would find this intriguing then pass on the URL, I'm really not all that secretive. I am kind of self-conscious about it though and feel kind of self-centered telling people they should read, especially people who don't know me that well. But that is essentially the point of this blog, to shine a light into the shadows of who I am. So pass it on, share the love, I've got plenty to give. And if you're ever in the neighborhood and want what is now called a "Ty Hug" (they're quite the commodity ... who knew) please drop by. Most of you I probably haven't seen or talked to in awhile and I would love to get my arms around you. So stop on by, My arms are always open...

Until next time, Shadow out :-D
