Five Reasons Why I Blog

Mike Sansone's challenge to share "Five Reasons Why I Blog" buzzed in my brain a for few days. Today I have a wee break during my work with university faculty in Ireland. So, here's my answer.

Inspires: Ellen Weber had so much fun with her blog, she began to mention it almost every day. She inspired me to try blogging as well. I did. Writing a blog is fun and a great way to share findings from my research and work with others around the world.

Stretches the Mind: To find interesting facts and ideas and then wrap them in unique ways and, at the same time, to catch readers' attention is a real challenge. Writing a blog keeps me current with art and neuroscience research as I share practical strategies based on new findings.

Learn from Others: After adding blogs to my cache, I felt more comfortable as I visited other blogs and joined in conversations. I learn so much from others in many fields and cultures and keep doing so. It's fun "catch others" doing what they do best and to highlight folks' smarts weekly.

Reaches a Wider Community: Folks are curious about the work of MITA International Brain Based Center. Sharing practical ideas to benefit others extends the work of the Center.

Avoid Stagnation: Looking at other perspectives and views helps me avoid getting stuck in a rut. I stay fresh and alive in my thinking as I blog.

Bloggers that intrigue me are:
