If you've read my first 2012 post you'll know that one of my New Year's Revolutions is to get seriously connected. Ok its not that revolutionary, but in particular I've been working on my online presence. So, I've pretty much done everything you're supposed to - set up twitter, sort-out my linkedin profile, follow the good and the great of the blogosphere yada yada.
And this is where Penelope Trunk comes in. She is like blogger royalty, and you know how I love the Royals (long live Kate and Wills!) So in the last few weeks I subscribed to her blog and feeds etc (still don't really understand RSS or feeds!). Then comes today's post

Happy New Year anyone!!?? I'm not even going to get into the rights and wrongs of domestic violence and whether the partner should stick around, but it did make me question whether you should take relationship advice, heck any advice, from someone who thinks its ok to stay in a violent relationship.
The accountant (former auditor) in me then thought, who is this Penelope Trunk anyway? What are her credentials? Is she at the top of the blog tree just because she is controversial and over-dramatic, with very little actual or informed conent - a bit like reality TV? And then after a bit of googling I spotted the miscarriage post - oooooooohhhhhhhhhh!!!! the penny dropped. I think I blogged about that too!

When all is said and done, we all lead crazy lives, and no-one knows what goes on behind closed doors, unless that closed door is Penelope Trunk, of course. My point is this - we all make judgements in aspects of our lives that others wouldn't agree with. That does not necessarily invalidate every single opinion, or piece of advice that we dole out does it? In reality, who isn't Penelope Trunk?
