******ahhhh, all it takes is a positive mention and here I am, writing my thoughts!

I have actually been pondering this since I first read Linda's post.

In what I have read about many women who come online, they come with a goal in mind: a list of tasks to complete and then do them.

I do that on certain occasions....I would say I set a daily agenda and marginally stick to it. I normally will use my idea journal and do a search on a specific topic throughout a day for example...but its not one *THING* that I need specifically on line.

Probably the best and biggest surprise I have gotten from the Internet is all the relationships I have built. I have some on line friends I am closer to than my face to face friends. I have a Virtual Assistant who lives 400 miles away, who I have never met.

I have talked to folks worldwide using Netmeeting and similar programs, I have constant company (when I want it, that is) through ICQ and AOL-IM, I have boards like this one to interact on, I have my discussion lists and ezines that I enjoy reading.

Maybe the one thing I would like that I don't currently have is a site of Historical Inspirational Geniuses. I don't keep it a secret that Leonardo Da Vinci, Henry David Thoreau, and Albert Einstein are a tip of the Iceberg of those folks who I have so enjoyed teaching myself about over the past year or so.

Maybe a place for adults to study stuff like this. In an environment where we can all stretch and grow and thrive together, and not be concerned with being right or wrong. Thinking, thinking, thinking and then creating, creating, creating.

If somehow we could all converse and somehow host a karaoke night once in a while I would be in Nirvana......

Well, you asked!

Have a terrific weekend!

With Purpose and Passion,

JULIE
