Here’s something I’ve been considering lately.
Why the blog?
I started this blog to be a part of a community. I don’t have a true spiritual community, and I wanted to have a place where I felt someone might hear what I was saying. And they did.
I’ve never been a real deep writer on this blog. The purpose of it was/is mainly to catch passing thoughts, the forerunners of what goes into my private journals. It’s unrefined, not always well-written and naval gazing.
But I like it. I always have.
However, I’m wondering if it’s time to start something new. Like I will get a new journal for this journey, maybe it’s time to consider a new blog. A more intentional place to keep records, a more reflective place to become part of a community.
As I write this I know it’s true. And it saddens me, a lot. A new blog? Just archiving all of these posts? I don’t know. I don’t particularly like the idea of “all new”–I think that these posts contain a foundation, and that’s important. However, I also am not comfortable just continuing posting on top of the older stuff. I’m not sure why.
Anyway, I’ll let you (my small viewing public, hello, husband :)) know.
Sometimes, in my experience at least, the most important leadings follow stops–the times when we discern that something we are doing isn’t right, or isn’t right for us anymore.
I’m working at improving my skills of laying things down when it’s time. (I’m waaay better at picking things up!)
I hope you’ll let us know if that’s what you need to do with this blog–but also, that you’ll let us know of any new projects you may find opening up for you, if it’s time to move on.
Bright Blessings!
