Ever wish you could harness the power of the internet; maybe to help you achieve a goal. No, I’m not talking about making money, there are too many websites out there already that are stealing from people with promises of getting rich quick. No, I’m talking more about a personal or spiritual goal.
I’ve tried to harness the power of the net to express my thoughts. Sometimes I succeed, and sometimes it seems like nothing more than mindless babble. I guess my ultimate goal is to learn more about myself. While this is a wonderful goal in my own personal life, it doesn’t necessarily help others unless they are going through the same things that I have written about.
However, over at One Wight or Another, they are helping others through their blog and the power of the internet. It’s founder was tired of being “overweight” and decided that it was time to do something about it. Being as how she didn’t have time to go to a local support group, she started blogging and her page took off. Her second post, more or less an introduction into her life and why she started, shares a part of her life that most people keep secret. She lays it all out on the table; her past, her weight, her spirituality, and her plan for change. I think it’s this openness and desire to share her experience with others that has caused this site to grow. Today there are over 20 people who also post about their weight loss and other issues guiding their life.
