Blogging Anonymously Allows Personal Freedom

  I recently shared the fact that I am a Blogger.  I am not sure if that was the smartest thing I have ever done.  I started blogging years ago as a means to express myself and to provide an outlet for all forms of thoughts.  I didn't have my blog open to others at first - I was using the space more as a diary that had the added security of an electronic key rather than a physical one.  About a year ago I allowed a few trusted friends access to my blog - we shared common interests and I knew they wouldn't judge my random musings.  I made several of my blog pieces public and kept the rest private (a girl has to have some things that are private). 

  Anyway, back to the sharing comment . . . I was on FaceBook and someone posed a request for the readers to share something about themselves that others may not know.  I posted that I was a blogger.  Well, that piqued the interest of some of my friends and several asked for the link to my blog site.  Here is the dilemma - if I share the site address I will lose the anonymity I have enjoyed and others will be able to tie me to my pseudonym.  Is this something I am willing to do?

  I decided that I would take a chance and share the blog address.  I only ask that any of my friends who I have shared this site will honor my request to remain anonymous.  I am not so conceited that I think I will become the "talk of the town", however, I do not want to open myself up to scrutiny from those who do not understand and respect my need for personal privacy.  If any of my blogs speak to you or make you feel the need to share them, feel free to share my site address - just don't share ME.
