Priceless

I recently received an offer to have a company put ads on my blog and pay me a small sum.  It surprised me to receive the offer, but it made me think a little more about the blog and its purpose.

I decided against taking the money for a few reasons.  First, as I've blogged about before, money can easily distort motives, and I'd prefer to stay with "natural" motivation for the blog.  Second, I already go to work to get money; I don't want to devote my spare time to making money as well.

A blog can have many objectives.  For me, it's an outlet for expression, but also a chance to hopefully help people in the area of health.  I don't want to put a price on any of that.
