Okay here's my "Lucille Ball Aha" moment about blogging!

I just figured something out and it just hit me over the head like a ton of bricks. You know the way you used to just order a coffee, and then you'd go over and get yourself a stir stick and maybe some sugar, and away you'd go? Well, now this whole Starbucks coffee thing has just snowballed, and it's amazing how we order our coffees now. Now we ask for a tall non fat, half the shot, decaf, one Sweet and Low latte, and the Starbucks employee doesn't even blink an eye. And it makes you wonder how did this ever happen? When Starbucks first opened there were two types of coffee you could order, and now we've created a multitude of coffee orders that boggle the mind and it was created by us, the public. So I started thinking about blogs, and how it has spun into an entirely different universe, and was really created by us. And these mommy blogs are a whole universe onto themselves. I wrote a book called Love Mommy: Writing Love Letters To Your Baby, and still maintain that writing with pen to paper in the form of a book whose pages can become dog-eared, has its advantages. And I am wondering, do all the mommy bloggers save their posts, and the posts of others to have a chronicled version of their mommydom? Or it is just mainly a release, a catharsis, a way to regain part of who you are when you are not being a mom? How did blogging become so huge and where is it all going? Write to me. I'd love to hear more about how you think this phenomenen has happened.
