After four years of life-altering changes and then boxing up and moving out of the farmhouse into the downtown area of this small, albeit quaint, community, I have finally decided to return to blogging. I spent four years doing anything I could possibly think of to avoid myself. And avoid blogging.
(I can't write everyday).
Now where did I get that idea from? It's a ridiculous story I made up for myself. Somehow in the past few months I had willed myself to forget that from October 2013 -January 2014, I had written the entire first draft of a book by doing what?
WRITING EVERYDAY FOR AN HOUR.
For four years I had only been freelance writing a bit here and an article there to fulfill a contractual obligation, receive a paycheck, and push back from the keyboard; however, I wrote an entire book in three months, then left it to die on the side of the road while I pursued anything that didn't require me to sit my ass in front of a computer screen and write. It's not like this is anything new. I have three manuscripts that lie in a heap collecting dust since I abandoned them ten or so years ago.
And then I found this quote:
“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” - Howard Thurman
So I will blog.My definition of blogging, of course, is spilling one's day-to-day life out on a keyboard for the rest of the world to view..... get a glimpse into my crazy world, quite possibly enjoy a laugh, a smile, share a new recipe, or just sit back, relax, and watch tidbits of my quirkiness unfold in front of you.
I have come alive and it feels good to be back! I hope you enjoy this journey with me, or at the least I hope you get insight to another's world, understand that world a little better, and maybe smile with me. God Bless! Namaste!
P.S. Since I would consider this an introduction to my "blog" and a bit too serious even for me, I encourage you to continue to the next post. "Let the blogging begin!"
