#BlogCrush, Social Media »

[27 Oct 2009 | One Comment | ]

Every week I’ll be updating The Webb with a little ditty about my most recent blogcrush – a blog that I follow frequently and find inspiration, laughter and deep thoughts from. You know who they are, those bloggers that you’ve never even met but you feel a strange connection…you almost have a little crush on them?

…say something useful.
I know Mom, it’s supposed to be “If you can’t say something nice don’t say anything at all” but I’m here to say that that phrase is outdated and detrimental. See, as a core society we’ve bought into the idea that anything that we say to each other has to be covered in candy coating or come wrapped with a pretty little ribbon.  Most nice statements don’t carry weight anymore.  “I’m Sorry” and “Thank You” are throw away statements that most don’t mean and “I love…” is a …
