Jason Evans, who runs the Clarity of Night Blog and the ongoing photo-story contests, has opened up an interesting new venue for online conversation, though with more of a casual-counseling feel to it. Everyone is invited to take part, either inviting Jason to a discussion of whatever issue lays heavy on your mind or heart, or by commenting and encouraging those who go before you.
Here’s his message to introduce this new spot:
Dear Blog Friends,
Thank you all for being an amazing part of my blog experience and The Clarity of Night!
I’m writing tonight to announce the grand opening of a companion blog. It’s a candlelit place called Night Conversations (http://nightconversations.blogspot.com). Here’s the concept.
In important parts of our lives, many of us struggle with feelings of isolation, of being misunderstood. Night Conversations is a place where anonymous participants spend a evening with me talking and delving into those feelings. No advice. No judgment. Just a person who wants nothing more than to listen and understand.
Stop over and share the first of the Night Conversations with me. If you like what you see, I’d be grateful for any mention, or even a review, that you would be willing to do on your own blogs. I’d love to see Night Conversations spread like a more personal version of Post Secret.
The comfy chair is open for anyone out there who like to participate. Thanks!
–Jason Evans
A first session is already up, discussing the weight of expectations and how it can shift the balance in our lives in unexpected ways. Looks like an intriguing forum to touch on some serious topics. If you decide to take part, please let me know what the experience is like.
I see that smile.
Thanks for the mention, Josh!
I do hope that folks take advantage of the opportunity to participate.
As do I. It will be interesting to see what thoughts will be shared and how folks might find some guidance or closure.
