privacy issues

i have decided to make my blog more private.  there has been some recent issues where things i have said have been blown out of proportion & resulted in painful accusations so it's just easier this way.  in the heat of the moment i seriously considered shutting it down altogether, but writing here has been an escape for me & i really don't want to lose that so i would appreciate it if you do choose to peek into our world that you respect the privacy that we'd like to maintain by keeping what's here, here & if there is something i've said that is offensive, please email me or call me so we can fix any differences before rash assumptions are made & feelings are hurt. thanks so much.
