My relationship with the online world is one of love and hate. There are so many things I love about it … inspiring people, beautiful images, amazing communities of creativity. And then so many things I hate … the idea that there is such an increasing loss of real world connectivity. The potential to miss those small day-to-day interactions that form so many little pleasures in life.

But, that said, I’ve been a reader of Alex the Girl for years and always find myself glad that I visited the site. Her most recent post is a nice little dedication to the doing of things. At first glance, you might think she’s a bit PollyAnna, but don’t be fooled. She’s just made a commitment in her writing to continue to living life in a very present and active way. If you’ve read her long enough, you’ll see she has the same doubts and challenges, but she never seems to be afraid to make mistakes and I love that about her writing.
