		<description>Well, I never. I came across this site because I was trying to find out the usefulness of blogging. Someone I know, way back before the internet, told me that whenever they were upset, they would write down a letter (Yea! Blog minus internet) on paper and then toss it in the bin. The writing experience helped them feel better. 
Hmm, guess that&#039;s what people are doing noe on the internet. The person doesn&#039;t do that anymore either on paper or on the internet but they sure feel better about things than I do. I never blog and tend to feel bad quite a lot. Well, that&#039;s why I&#039;m reading this site.</description>

		<description>Blogging definitely helps me to develop a sense of community with my clients where not only do I hold them accountable to their goals but they hold me accountable to means. So indirectly us helping each other to stay in shape strengthens the relationships we have with one another by supporting and motivating each other which ultimately makes us happier.</description>
