It’s been a minute since I’ve posted something. It’s been intentional.
The family and I recently took some time off. And, this blog page has had some time off as well. There have been a lot of important conversations happening around the world and I didn’t feel “right” about adding (or distracting) from those conversations.
However, while wandering around the mountains, I had time to think. Clear my head.
And I circled back on my “why” for this page.
While I’m hopeful that you, reader, will find my content interesting, useful and educational…I really started this page for me.
This little part of the internet was supposed to be for me to capture my own thoughts and force me to express my ideas succinctly.
This page, without sounding too selfish, was always about me. Which goes against the whole notion of “content” (i.e. content producers create content for their audience).
I needed a space to capture ideas and learnings. I needed a space to practice writing and sharing. And I needed a space that I could go back to and see my own growth and evolution.
So, I’ve come back to this space. Not to add to the conversations or distract people away from those conversations…but for me. To help me focus on my own growth; if others benefit from my thoughts? Awesome! If not, that’s OK too.
For me, writing forces me to shut out distractions; tune out the external and look internally.
Writing forces me to listen to my own voice and sort through ideas that are important to me. And I think it’s something we all need to do…especially with the onslaught of noise surrounding us. Whether that’s writing, drawing, painting, music…whatever it is that turns your focus from the external to the internal, you should do that more.
It’s a form of self-care and I think we can all agree that self-care right now is incredibly important.
