Lots of stuff that you and I had in common as well, but from a slightly different perspective. Still got you in GTalk though, so we'll stay in touch. Yeah, miss you here too.

Baby #2? Congrats! I won't say I've found balance yet. But I think taking a break has been a good start to trying to restore it. Nice of you to stop by.. this post is kinda my re-entrance (albeit tentative) to the blogging world. :) Hey Hsien! Baby #2? Congrats! I won’t say I’ve found balance yet.

I've thought about taking a break many times. Going on an enforced one come June when baby #2 arrives. :) Nice to see that you're finding a balance between the different areas of your life. Take good care!! Blogging can be totally addictive and draining. I’ve thought about taking a break many times. Going on an enforced one come June when baby #2 arrives. :)

I feel like I have had an "out-of-blog-experience" over the last few months or so. ;) There's a lot of really great people I've missed though. It will be nice to touch base again with a few people.

I still find myself stopping to add you (and Rebecca) to the weekly chats whenever I see you on Skype at the same time. Anyway, I kinda understand where you're coming from. I've been through a similar process on my personal blog - which I find the hardest to write out of all my blogs. Maybe because I feel as though it had to represent me as ME - without being overly personal; and not totally cold and professional either. Eventually, I decided just to give it my best shot and not worry about it too much. I decided that it's my own piece of the web and I'll do with it as I please. Of course, within reason. Like my own home. Or my own body. Then, just let folks decide whether they like it or not. Kinda the way I want to be loved and accepted by the people around me. I don't want folks to be my friends because I can do stuff for them, or give them stuff, or entertain them, etc. I can do all those too... but not the end all and be all of everything. So yeah, welcome back. And just enjoy the process of finding and loving your own voice. It ain't always pretty, but it's a great ride! Awww… we miss you too, William.
