Ask: A New Conversation

I know I’ve been all sorts of posting this week, but I can’t help it!  So much to say, so little space on Twitter…

Wanted: Conversations

So, this is just a quick announcement but I couldn’t wait!  Through various conversations with friends, readers, my boyfriend and other sources of my own inspiration, I realized how many questions I get from folks about a number of things – blogging itself, finding balance, how to start your yoga practice, where to eat in Boulder, etc., and I decided that I’d love to tackle broader questions that just the Formspring Fridays that you’ve submitted so far.  Granted, FF is a huge source of this inspiration – many of the questions I’ve answered there have been “How do you…” types of questions.

I’m going to answer my last round of offical “Formspring Friday” questions this Friday in a video blog (talking about balance, sandwiches, and big accomplishments!), and shift this whole format over to a much broader scope of information.

There’s now a new page in my navigation bar titled “Ask,” so go ahead and click through and ask away!  I’ve been working on this all week, and am super excited to get started.  I’ll answer anything you ask, not just “advice” types of questions, so if you really do want to know what my favorite kind of cake is, you can ask that too.  I want to learn from you what you want to get out of doniree.com, and what you want to know about me to fill in the gaps from what I might not have mentioned yet.

Coming soon

Since conversations aren’t one-sided (not in my life anyway!), I’m also planning on asking some questions myself of you!  I know I end a lot of posts seeking your feedback to help shape the idea that I’m writing about, but I’d love to know more about the other things in YOUR lives as well.  I’d love to know more about who my readers are.  I have a number of ideas of how to do this, and I’m still brainstorming around those.  Either way, I hope to have a great place for you to share everything from feedback to suggestions to your favorite movie, etc.  I love the relationships that have come out of this blog, and I’d love to know what keeps you coming back as well as what you’d like to see more of!

The answers get tucked away in a spreadsheet (thank you Google Docs) that I’ll use to structure my responses in both video and blog post.  I can’t wait to have these conversations with you!
