Nicki,
First let me say sorry for not responding sooner but I just got your response 9/24/2012. Sometimes it just takes a long time for me to get comments then no tellin' how long for my responses to be sent back, so I'm always requesting direct responses by mail. None the less, I really appreciate your comments.
I wonder how popular BTB is in Australia because you're the 2nd person to comment on my blog from there. I've writing comments to a "Sami" via the blog and asked tons of questions about the good ol' "DOWN UNDER". I notice Australia has no shortage of those with a sense of humor because the both of you manage to crack me up with some of the comments and jokes sent. :).
I actually just read 50 Shades of Grey about 2 weeks ago and it was "ALRIGHT". I just thought some things weren't really my style but overall it was a good read.
In reference to your comments on my post thanking the readers, I want to say thanks for your words. I only write one person on a regular basis so I'm always asking them tons of questions about the world out there so I'm mainly hoping those reading my blog leave comments to inform me about life out there as well.
My time in here is not easy at all but I try to reflect most of what I think and feel in my posts in an effort to not only relieve myself of this madness but to receive genuine responses to it as well.
Thanks for taking the time to reach out to me and if possible I'd love it if you could send some photos of your country and life through your eyes out there.
Take care, remain humble, and live life with the intent to only get stronger, wiser, and better.
Write me directly at:

P.S. I don't think you're "STALKING" my blog posts either (ha ha :D).

I'm not sure how popular BtB is in Australia but I'm pleased you're hearing from people from all over the world. I initially came here to review the site for a university assignment but I enjoy all I find here and plan to stick around for as long as they will have me. I noticed recently that BtB is listed under the list of 'prison blogs' on the Wikipedia page which is available in many languages around the world so who knows where you may get contacted from as time goes by!
You've said here your life isn't easy and you want to hear from others to relieve yourself of the madness in your environment. I guess what I see in the blogs I read, and the replies I offer to many blog posts is that, it's not all that different for each and every one of us. Of course I don't mean to demean the difficulties of living in prison, I realize I can never understand that horror unless I lived it myself, but my point is that we all face our own challenges, we all want our existence to be acknowledged in the world and to be appreciated for who we truly are. That is why this site is so profoundly important. It connects us through our similarities rather than excluding us from each others worlds (which is the physical reality). I am very grateful for the gift BtB gives us, as I'm sure you are.
It's interesting that you ask for pictures of my part of the world, because I recently asked the administrators of BtB if we could add images to our posts and I'm pleased to say, it is something they are currently working on for us :) When I can do that for you through the site, I most definitely will.
I am sorry that I'm not in a position to write to you directly but I will keep reading & commenting on your posts if I find they relate to me or think I have something constructive to add. Thank you for your advice; they are words to live by :)
Don't stop sharing! & Take care!!
Nicki
