I was just sitting here reading old Posts and thinking of all the time I invested in this network.  Learning, putting out fires, and writing from my heart.  Oh, not mushy stuff, just heartfelt thoughts that made sense out of things.  But in reading the comments I saw people I haven't seen in a long time.  Where did all the Bloggers go?  I remember my first year on Active Rain. 

The people I read at the time disappeared.  Where did they go?  I know now where they went, to the same places I have been.  Learning all over the Internet with the Blogging skills we learned here.  Writing on other platforms, socializing on Twitter and Facebook. Dreaming and hoping their dreams aren't lost as they find their way in this big Wide World of the Web.

Where have all the Bloggers gone?  They mentor new people, they go to the REBar Camps, Blogger get togethers, and Tweet updates of what's going on in their lives......short quick encounters.  I see people all over the Internet that I met here.  But to tell the truth I miss many of the people I used to blog with and comment on their Posts. 

We come to learn, to grow our business, and a host of other reasons, and sometimes people just have to follow their dreams no matter where that is. When one Blogger leaves another takes their place.....

Follow your Dreams........and if that means we will miss you, then so be it.  We all have to be true to ourselves in the long run.
