Well, I actually got my food one up and running today. Maybe soon another one... After all the discussions about blogging merely for youself, I thought I needed to get my thoughts in one place, and get the practice of writing. That "book" is never going to be written until I get thoughts down and recipes and ideas tested. 
Family Food for Feast and Feria
I also starting a private journal. I found my solution at Live Journal (thanks Rebecca). It's so much easier to type up thoughts than to write them in pen.

Jenn -- I love your food blog -- it's beautiful -- very peaceful and welcoming....
I know that I blog because I want to a, practice writing, and b, log my days with the kids. I just can't write as fast as I can type and altho I tried MANY times -- I just could never keep a journal. Blogging helps me to write and becuase it's accesible, I always try to write my best.....
Blessings to all you blogers!

The 4real forum is one of the reasons I started my blog!! For a while I thought maybe I was over-linking back to here  because so much of the discussion that goes on here is relevant to what I'm blogging!! I think it's a win-win, I couldn't be without the discussions here, they are far to rich and valuable to me personally with or without all the great blogs! I'll definately continue linking, so much good to link to! Great discussion, I know I'm committed  |

Meredith,
Your blog is one of the very few that I read daily and that I've read since its beginning. Personally, I don't think you over-link at all, but maybe that's because I'm always so grateful when you link to 4Real . I think you have a great system going!

I long to keep a journal and like the romantic idea of having pretty bound books filled with my thoughts. The problem is I never do it. Livejournal is a good place for me to begin the habit of the daily recording of thoughts in an easy format. I just signed up in the past couple of days but I'm hoping I become more diligent at journalling.

The same goes here! I have lovely books that I start and never get past a few pages because it takes me so long to write with pen in hand. Some of it has to do with new developments like either arthritis or carpal tunnel (not sure). Gripping a pen gets painful!

It's on my conscience that I have been a bit negative about the blogs. I do want to say that all of the blogs that are linked to 4reallearning that I have visited (most of them I think) are really good to read, uplifting, sometimes funny, with lots of good tips. Even a photograph can convey such a lot, e.g. the photo of Louise's little boys washing each others' feet on Maundy Thursday: it had never occurred to me to do this, even though, since we go to the Good Friday liturgy and the Easter Vigil, my little ones miss out on the Maundy Thursday Mass because it would be too much for them. They would LOVE to do this, and with appropriate readings and preparation, would learn so much. There is a lot of richness there in those blogs.
Moreover, as Elizabeth, Rachel and Meredith have pointed out, bloggers can and do continue to "converse" here too, with the added material from their blogs to enhance the conversation.
The first blog I ever read was really horrible: a vehicle for slamming other Catholics in a spiteful and snippy manner. Grim, grim, grim. I think that prejudiced me against a bit, as did the knowledge that, sadly, many teenagers here use blogs to bully. How refreshing all your blogs are, with their unfailing courtesy and friendliness.
I found out last night that my brother has just started a blog  : a pretty good one. He is the LAST person that I would ever have thought would start one. Ho hum ...
Jane.

Here's a new blog for you. (You really need one, right?) As I can't link to my own I will link to my brother's. Today, hear about a Family Life Conference in London, watch a hip and happening video of Pope Benedict XVI and read "ten rules for dating my daughter" that will make you laugh out loud!
