A new year
Well, it’s been just a little over a year since I started this blog. I know it’s been quiet since July, which roughly coincides with when my life started getting more interesting again. After a six month “sabbatical,” in which I took time off from work, decided to leave my job and embark on a new profession, I was ready to start becoming more active in the community again. Aaaand, the blog fell silent. Which, really is how life is. It ebbs and flows and there are times when I feel the need to blog and share what’s going on for me, and then times when either I’m too busy, or it’s just too intense to be sharing with the world.
When I first started this blog, I envisioned it as a space to share personal reflections, daily photos, and the progress of my garden, which was really an apt metaphor for the new seeds I was planting in my professional life. While I still hope to share such updates every now and then, my new vision for this blog is a space to just share the quiet moments, the little things that we normally wouldn’t bother to write down or photograph, but that highlight the beauty and joy of ordinary, everyday life. The things that make us smile, laugh, pause, and appreciate what we have in our lives.
Soo…for the foreseeable future, there will probably not be a lot of words on this blog. There will probably be more pictures, short reflections–a sentence, or two. It won’t be every day (the sabbatical was nice, but gosh, I don’t have that kind of time right now), but just often enough…a way to remind me to slow down every now and then even as my life moves forward in a new direction. I want to maintain that awareness and openness to new possibilities…and I look forward to sharing them!
