Hello.

I used to have a blog. I put a lot of effort into posting to it regularly. I thought I was making it easy on myself by keeping the entries short and by repurposing content from other platforms (mostly images) to inspire my posts.

There are many things I enjoy about having a blog. The process of writing helps me to release my thoughts and quiet my mind. I feel more connected to you—yes, I’m thinking of you as I write and imagine your curiosity and interest… and sometimes worry about your judgment or level of boredom. And I feel engaged by the act of formulating words in a way that gets me as close to the truest expression of myself that I can.

But when writing a blog post was little more than a task that checked off my to do list in a particular schedule that wasn’t guided by my inner experience in the present moment (and when that post often involved very little thought—and even less writing), posting to my blog satisfied needs around productivity but also lost many of the other things I most enjoyed about it. So I stopped.

Now I’m back. And my intention is to do things differently this time. Maybe this will mean that I post less than I used to. But my hope is that it also results in posts that inspire greater self-reflection and deeper connection with you. Thanks for being here. I appreciate you.
