New Year, New Ideas, New Mood :)

Not long before New Years Eve!!! I hope that, whatever you do, you it's a safe and happy one. I plan on being where I am right now. :) I'm that old, I guess. One day I hope to be able to have my own New Years Eve party. I'm just gearing up for right now. Right now is a time of struggling for me, so I'm just trying to figure it out. But, I feel this time is short and will lead to better things.
I'm working on planning out this blog, the site in general. I've removed the forum. Revamped the break "room." I am working with limited technology in resources, but I want to make it a retreat. Not just a blog or list of resources. With that said, I would like to hear back from you, the reader. I see all comments, if any, before posted, but I'm wondering if that is necessary. Would you appreciate being able to see your comments right away? Do you understand the current goal of my blog? Are there any other helpful tools or resources you would like to see? I have some ideas, but your input matters. I was going to do a survey but instead, I would like to give you a chance to speak to me in your own words. I appreciate any and all critiques. Please take time to contact me here. Thank you.
