		<description>You're an August bambino too! How grand! I was just given five of your books incl.'The Witch of Portobello' for my birthday...I wanted to do a cartwheel!

Heart- I totally know what you mean by energy and the lack of it although we're so young :) Hmmm. What to do?</description>

		<description>As a blog writer, I have found that the blog is a very beautiful way to connect with others in the global village.  As you aptly expressed: "Despite my being in this remote region, I wasn’t alone:
People were travelling with me through the words of my blog."

I am amazed at how people can respond to something on a blog.  As I'm sure you are finding, it creates a way for your readers to respond to you in a way that a book signing or public event does not.  There is something so very sacred when a virtual stranger decides to lay bare their soul in a public forum, in writing, and invite you into that space. 

People are always encouraging me to write a book based on what I've shared in my blog. And I tell them that the book is being written with every blog entry.  I applaud your willingness to share your writing so freely with the public. Access to the written word, in any form, is one of the greatest freedoms of all.</description>

		<description>Paulo tu trabajo es formidable. Tienes una creatividad que se sale fuera de los libros y del ordenador llagando a nuestras casas y compartiendo mil y una forma distinta cada dia, llendo tu trabajo en progreso y ofreciéndonos variedad de fuentes de cultura y aprendizaje.
Los que seguimos tu blog desde hace tiempo lo sabemos.
Gracias por darnos gratis tantas cosas compartidas.
Un beso.</description>
