I think greater interaction among groups would result (mix up the tech bloggers and the marketers and the VCs and the usability people and, hell, even the sex bloggers) ;) and really spark some awesome conversations.

I do think that by working in a team, it will make it easier for you. The passion moves away from you and to the team of writers, the hate will move with it. Being a part of a groupblog would be a good solution.

Only reason I voted for him was SARAH. I wasn´t even going to vote until he picked her. I had voted in every election since the late 1960?s.

Honestly said, I don't think you can do anything to fend off the attacks. I don't think you got attacked because of something you did, but because lots of people admire you and your work. That's apparently enough for some people to hate you. Only by unpassionating your readers, can you hope to actually stop the haters. I hope you will reject that option.

I think that you'd probably do well in a consulting role where you are helping companies who want to improve in the area of creating passionate users (products and websites). Your knowledge of the field is shown well by your blogging, and maybe getting out in front of people will give you more of a reason to stay passionate about this subject area (if not the blog itself).

Just look at the difference just 20-30 rock solid Tea Party conservatives have made in the House already. They´ve turned "1/3 of the government" on its head and started a war between the establishment party and the Tea Party.

O.K. I give up. What is your beef with Gutfeld? I think he is hilarious! He is not a serious contributor, but is there for laughs. I like him.

I hate to see us lose your input but I wonder if simply publishing articles with no comments enabled and having a members-only forum wouldn't be a good compromise. There's something about the immediacy of the response form and the lack of accountability available from anonymity (oh, hypocritical me) that seems to encourage people's awfulness.
Mia_Pennsylvania - Tuesday, February 7th, 2012 1:32 AM PST
ould also do your (wonderful) thing around the blogosphere for a while (just not always here). Keep the juices flowing, continue to help people, foster even greater community growth, and not be an (ugh) static single target.
Bella_Colorado - Tuesday, February 7th, 2012 1:11 AM PST
I understand. That is why I made the point about the state caucus to come up with acceptable Presidential candidates. My fear is we have too many conservatives that may split our vote and let a Romney, Christie get in.

And a belated Happy Easter to you too! The fruit cakes being compared to bricks definitely makes my chuckle list…..perhaps some fruity garnish around the display would have added more relevance. It is quite strange how the human mind works, and association is key to avoid possible misyunderstandings like this one! Classic!

Maybe the private blog is the way to go, though I suspect you'd need some time to get revved up for that. The pod/video angle sounds great, but that raises a lot of other questions. And it loses the immediacy that you enjoyed so long, which is one of the most unfortunate losses in all this.

Has he joined Obama in Wonderland where up is down and left is right? What´s "fiscally conservative" about voting for every spending measure in sight?

It'd be kinda like the group blog idea, but with more of a "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?" vibe. And who didn't love playing that? :)

In doing this blog and thinking about this stuff, have you ever had any ideas for what kinds of tools (software, that is) that people could use to do things like share creative ideas in groups, create customer community, etc. etc.?

Good for Hannity, hammering Mc Cain. Mc Cain off as so slimey. He completely bought into the Obama narrative and talks about the great calamity to come if there is no agreement, and continues to blast the Tea Party.

That´s fine for the House and Senate but for president, there is no way any conservative should vote for either Democrat that will be stuffed down our throats next year. The House is the grand prize. If we had someone like Jim Jordan as Speaker and more than the current 3 reliable conservative senators, the president wouldn´t matter.

Having said all of that, I wonder if Ande's idea isn't the best (regardless of what format you choose to go with for the blog). If it was still public with no comments, but you cross-posted entries in a private forum, you could allow people to respond and discuss in a controlled/private environment, but still keep the blog itself public. I'm not sure how much extra work that would be for you, but if it was negligible I would say that's the best option for running your site the way you have and seem to love, but keeping the riffraff at bay.

Oodles of bloggers great and small would give a #1 Technorati rank (or insert personal thing of inestimable value here) to be able to host Kathy Sierra as a guest blogger. (Myself included.)
Isabella_Tennessee - Monday, February 6th, 2012 6:14 PM PST
The reality is that the establishment in the Senate HATE CCB, modest as it really is and see the new Boehner plan as an out, since they figure they will get Reid to make a compromise since it is only 22 Billion in cuts.
Claire_New_York - Monday, February 6th, 2012 6:00 PM PST
In relation to the Technorati rank it´s pulled down via an API (geez I think that´s what it´s called) as is Alexa rank & the script calculates the index - I just need to record the figures in a spreadsheet for upload.
Bella_Tennessee - Monday, February 6th, 2012 5:29 PM PST
I do hesitate to run with the other commenters that say you should monetize this, but you should make it at least a part-time passion where you are getting to stretch out on the things you write about, and then allow experiences to craft other posts.

Thank you Susan for creating the PVIII workshop "Legacy of Parenting" We have been working together for many years now and It's always refreshing to discover new insights into who is there. During this powerful workshop and heavenly environment I was able to go deeper within and uncover a thought pattern rooted in my childhood that still operates in my adult life and relationships. We are having a baby in two months and I feel like I now have tools to help me look inside, be conscious and love who is there so I can be more present with our baby. I feel like I am able to own my stuff and change a pattern that's been running me all my life. Our marriage and our baby get to benefit from all the insights you've helped me come into. Thank you and love you!

Susan,
Your site is SO beautiful. I can see that it emanates from you. Nothing was wasted. You are my beautiful teacher, with your beautiful heart. I love you. All is well.

Hi Susan!
Thanks so much for all of your kind words and the kick and the butt I needed last week to get this started. You were right, I was really dragging my feet. I cried too the first time I saw this website go live. I've seen the pictures separately a hundred times, but seeing them all together like this really opened up my eyes to my own talent and all the hard work I've done just in the past six months. It's been awesome.
Again, I can't thank you enough for all of your help that has enabled me to get to this point. I really feel I am now living the life that I want and I can't wait to see what my future holds.
Elsa Walsh - Saturday, March 29th, 2008 4:28 PM PDT
Hi Susan,
I'm really honored that you are sharing my poem. I think it is so beautiful. It really encompasses my growth; especially since the beginning of this year. I remember meeting you at the top of the stairs with Intention and Intuition workshop and stating what I wanted to get from the workshop. I wanted to trust my ground of being...to trust that I did know the next step to take for me. And, it has been an amazing experience. Especially springing from PV II and later the Parenting workshop. Everything is coming together...I also noticed that the poem came right about my 6 month mark from the PV II workshop...isn't that cool?

thank you Susan....BIG things are changing in my life...I've always wanted to make a difference (since I was a teenager)...little did I recognize it would be my own life when I first started my journey. The work you've shared with me is really making a difference...it all circulates.

The Voice Within

At times I felt soo all alone,
From deep within
I heard my voice.
It pulled me and tugged me
When I sat still

It called me and guided me
to trust what is already within
At times I thought, "oh no, I can't do that."
Once more the voice inside
shut-down and sad

Then one day, after much work,
the voice inside,
once more, it spoke

Trust me as I softly speak
there is more gold to be found
when you take the leap

To risk all that I had, and all that I've ever known myself to be
For the potential of life that is flowing within me

"okay, voice, I'll let go of my identity"
I'll speak my voice and set a boundary:
"I am one to be loved and respected...it starts with me."
"And, no, it's not okay for you to hurt me."

I'll stand now for whom I'm willing to be
and set a presedance for my children
so they can follow a lead

The voice within,
I've learned to trust
It's always there teaching me
to be kinder to myself and not to flee
For my strength has always been
within me.

I meet Susan Bernal in 2004. She came to me as a referral from a friend who watched me battling severe depression. A depression I've grown accustomed to since my teenage years. I've fallen out of touch with this friend, and if I could see her again, I would thank her from the depths of my heart for placing me in touch with Susan Bernal. For the first time in many years, I no longer have daily battles with depression. This friend doesn't realize the powerful transformation in my life because she was simply willing to share a name with me.

I never knew my work with Susan Bernal would create a life I now find joyful, fulfilling, and worth living. Her services have helped me in all areas of my life including my career, choice of home location, marriage/couples work, relationship to myself and others, parenting skills...which is a huge one within itself being the mother of 3 children ranging in age from toddler to young adult, and finances.

Susan Bernal's approach is refreshingly direct and not sugar-coated. Most refreshing is learning from a seasoned coach who I have personally observed walk the talk. She models the coaching/behaviors she speaks of in her own life, first hand. Susan also has the keen gift of seeing possibilities and creating movement through them. Witnessing this behavior directly contributes to the processes I have with myself. And, by not sugar-coating her coaching, I have made it my responsibility to maintain movement towards the intentions I have set forth.

I have also continuously observed Susan Bernal's passion for life coaching. Her passion carries her into new depths of work for the clients she serves. This is evident from the writings, processes, and workshops she manifests. All of her workshops interlock with one another and fundamentally contribute to my life daily in many ways; most powerful for me are Intention and Intuition and Retrieving the Inner Child (PVII).

If one truly has the courage to take on their life; if you're one that has often thought..."is this all there is to life?"; if you're one whom has been riddled with depression; if you have children and are willing to see what "unspoken" thoughts and behaviors are passing down to them; if you're one who is truly willing and wanting results in their life and ready to step out of "wishful thinking": I highly recommend working with extraordinary coach, Susan Bernal, and not let another day slip by feeling dead inside.

Hi Susan,

Wow! what an amazing few years it has been since I have seen you. My goodness.

I'll cut to the chase and give you the overview.

I closed my practice, had to pay out the lease to get out.
We sold our house in Oakland and paid off all our debt.
My wife got a dream position as the director of marketing at------- one of the hottest social networking websites.
Her job is in Palo Alto, so we moved here to Palo Alto and have been renting since last May.
I got an opportunity to become the Chief Wellness Officer for the world's largest leadership training and coaching firm for wellness professionals.
I completed the book that I first started when we were working together.
We launched the book on Wednesday, it became the #4 bestseller at both Amazon.com & BN.com just behind Harry Potter and The Secret.
(See attached)
We've been featured in Forbes.
I'm schedule to be on two tv shows in Arizona next week and the offers keep coming in.
We are likely moving to San Diego in the summer.
We are talking about having a 3rd child.

On another note: ---- and I are now friends again. We stopped speaking completely for almost 7 months (about 1.5 years ago now).

It's been an amazing ride. I thought of you this morning and was reflecting back on our sessions when I was completely miserable about how stuck I was. You always believed in me and I could tell you knew how capable I was to do so much more. I thank you so much for your unconditional support.

I wanted to reach out and say hello and thank you for your help during some of my darkest days.

You can see more of what I am up to at ------and if you are so inclined to want to support the cause perhaps you can share our special offer ------ with anyone and everyone you know.

We are really hoping we can maintain our status on Amazon.com. We're still #14 two days later.

I hope you are well. Sorry I haven't been in touch sooner.

Much love to you and again thanks for seeing me through the darkness into the light. The best is yet to come!!!

Love,
J.

Dear Susan,
In the years I have gotten to know you it has been nothing less than an amazing experience. Continuing to do my work has taken me to places I never dreamed of goint to; the mystery of a brand new day that invites me to get to know myself better than the day before and reminds me that my work has not been in vain. My heart, filled iwth joy and enthusiasm, inquires to my mind to fill in the blank spaces. As I pause wondering, in the corner of my right eye searching to find an answer to the overwhelming and passionate movement that is now in motion. It is inspired by you and your abilities to comprehend another human being. Because of your unexhausting flow, river, well, ocean of compassion and kindness, when coming in contact with you one becomes reborn. I may never be able to thank you enough for the difference you have made in my life, however, I can assure you that even when we will no longer get to see each other as student and teacher, you will continue to make the difference you have made in me, as I then will become in contact with others and affect the same way you have affected me. Susan Bernal you have always been and will continue to be the suns warmth that turns a young flower into a fully developed blossom.
Thank you Susan for your existence and your love. I hope you have a very happy holiday.
Love,
R.

Through a friend, Susan came into my life and a critical time years ago when my automatic systems for operating were breaking down and my unconsciousness was running me through depression, anger, fear and confusion.

Through workshops such as Beyond Appearance, Who Am I, Conscious Relationships, The Money Workshop, as well as my participation within the Woman's Group and important one on one work with Susan, I became clear on what and why my 'systems for operating' were what they were, and why they were not working anymore. I also started to really get what she repeats again and again - that there really is no accident; no accident in regard to how our lives have manifested, as well as what & when certain people or opportunities or challenges come into our lives. Since being awakened to this concept, I now intuitively seek and hear other teachers/healers validate this very important understanding.

Although life still has and will always have challenges, I can say that I am a different person today as I am conscious of the present through being conscious of the past. And I see my choice. Susan was the start of a complete shift of 'knowing' for me, or at least a path of getting me back to that part of me that was lost. This shift of consciousness was enacted by my critical need, searching, and willingness, by Susan's broad wisdom, and also by her other learnings, contacts, recommendations, and mentors.

Having known Susan now for 7 years, I have come to learn that this work (deep inner work) is necessary for each and every person to go through in order to live life effectively and beneficially. Learning about ourselves helps us see our ownership in our lives and life choices, and with this we take responsibility for ourselves (thoughts, actions, and reactions), and thus allow others to take responsibility for themselves as well. This work also naturally activates authentic self-compassion, a critical validating component missing from most of us. This in turn enables the channels for compassion to bubble forth toward others. A feeling and life perspective we need more of in our world today.

Thank you, Susan!
Martha Duarte - Friday, August 12th, 2005 12:38 PM PDT
As my teacher, Susan has helped me see the many ways I habituate and the consequences of that behavior-how I perpetuate my own suffering and that of others. The Understanding that I have developed has helped me to cultivate self-love and compassion and now I see other choices and possibilities that have always been available but I was too blind to see.

I am very grateful for support of my dear sisters in the Women Group and of the many friends on the Path that I have met in the various workshops and the Relationship Group.

With much Love & Gratitude,
Martha

...last comment...gratitude for the grace that comes from Susan teaching me to have a perspective that allows me to interpret each and every thing that happens with choice, integrity, and responsibility. Para Susana, mi gratitud es afuera de palabras, un sentimiento de los cielos, de la musica mas bonita, con toda mi corazon, gracias, gracias mi curandera!!
sally clapper - Wednesday, May 25th, 2005 4:06 PM PDT
I have come to realize that Susan is a curandera, estoy segura ella es mi curandera, un angel. She lights the path to healing and awareness of what is tru and really imnportant, therby showing me the choice I have in really creating the life I want. This is true not just for me, but for my two sons. She illuminates the shadows with her being, her hawk-eyes, her teaching, and she points the way, if I should so choose. I have never been so happy to be alive, to inhabit my body, my home, and all the roles I play. I have never been so aware of who I really am nor so willing to live a life free from struggle, fighting to prove something. Sometimes someone will say one thing, do an act of kindness or deep love, that changes my life forever. Susan has this magical ability to create that experience EVERY time I see and listen...then I am softened, and it feels so good, not always comfortable, but so content. I am so so grateful to be given the grace through Susan's teachings to
Sunshine - Sunday, January 23rd, 2005 12:50 PM PST
I had an amazing experience at the Self Esteem Workshop. I am continually inspired by Susan and her ways of sharing her wisdom. The experience I had at the workshop opened my eyes to a whole new perseption of my life. I am making choices that are profoundly impacting my relationship with my husband, and my relationship with myself. And for this, I am truly thankful to Susan. Its a whole new place to live. I never knew life could be filled with honesty and be so wonderful. I was so scared before. Susan has been instrumental in holding me through the fear and guiding me to the comfort of self-love. I encourage anyone who is considering the Self Esteem Workshop or any workshop, to give yourself the gift of making yourself important. Take the risk of getting to know yourself more deeply, its really worth the freedom you discover when you see how powerful you are in creating your own experiences.
