I will be overseas myself at the same time but hope to keep up with your blog while I am away. Regarding finding your voice: to generate traffic to our blogs it's often tempting to do what you think people will like. I think you are right and it is important to stay authentic. Like the quote somewhere on your blog: be yourself. Everyone else is taken.<br />Ciao,<br />DinaOlive Oil and Lemonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12517997295512052291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567715590164266982.post-60043832322179301312012-09-25T14:28:59.314-07:002012-09-25T14:28:59.314-07:00I'm very much like you are.

I love your 'voice' and think you write wonderfully as well. This is a Mexican recipe that I think that I could handle preparing since I have nearly not one toe dipped into Mexican cuisine yet.

I don't like it when bloggers try to create some sort of onine persona (a la Ree Drummond). Just write from the heart and your voice will be right there. I don't think I need to tell you that though, because it's quite evident in your blog that you write from the heart.The Short (dis)Order Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05510572788683143569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567715590164266982.post-30745351122914535912012-09-24T18:19:44.461-07:002012-09-24T18:19:44.461-07:00I think you have a voice!I think you have a voice!That Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08004439474693190019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567715590164266982.post-6441642051152719412012-09-24T12:10:31.970-07:002012-09-24T12:10:31.970-07:00I happen to love your voice!
