I've decided to unlink my blog feed from my Facebook account.
I guess I feel like I'm putting myself out there a bit too much. I do not mind sharing my thoughts on a public sphere (I've been blogging since 2002) but Facebook is a little too public - writing here, and a handful of frequent readers will see it, along with those who stumble upon the blog via search engines or links, and those who consciously seek it out.
But Facebook - just too many people reading, and I've found myself filtering what I choose to write about because I am concerned about, or conscious of, the ripples that my words might cause among an increasing large circle of "friends". I've been reading Donna Farhi's "Teaching Yoga" and there is a lot in there regarding boundaries between students and teachers that is making me think a bit, and consider pulling back a bit.
Still linking to Twitter; which is (if anything) even more impersonal, but at least there, readers need to click through to get to the actual blog / post.
Apologies to those who enjoy my writing; stop by the blog once in a while and you can keep up with me.

I feel the same way. I only linked my Facebook account to my blog for one day before I felt it was just a little bit too much. Mainly becuase it identified my last name.
I don't mind linking my blog to Facebook, but not the other way around.
