so here i go. i had a blog. somewhere else. it had my name on it. and i ended up feeling like i was drowning in the self-censure i felt like some people were wanting to impose on me. or maybe it was just me feeling like i needed to please this or that person. at any rate, i'm not a hold-back kind of gal.
so i want to start over. here in this space. in a place where no one really knows who i am, and i can share what's on my mind without fearing repercussions later on down the road.
just in case someone has a slip-up and says my name in the comments, i'm going to be moderating comments. not that i expect to get tons of them. but just in case.
so here i go. wish me luck.
Happy you're doing what you need to do. Love the name. One of my favorite authors, George MacDonald, said that love required one eye closed: Both eyes open is a wee bit too much "reality", two eyes closed is loving blindly, one eye open & one eye closed acknowledges reality but chooses to close one eye, give a little grace and let some things slide. Thanks for the reminder to choose a different perspective.
ReplyDeleteGood for you making the switch. As you know, i've struggled with the question of anonymity (sp?) since i began blogging since somehow i never feel like i can write as freely when i'm conscious of who may read it. thanks for keeping me in the loop!
ReplyDeletecongrats on the new start!
ReplyDeletethanks for this refreshing breath of fresh air on a Tuesday morning. My coffee cup is half full thanks to you. ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm excited about your new blog. I hope you share a lot of your amazing photography. I also hope you can find a free place to share your thoughts, because there are a lot of us who love to read your perspective and would be really sad to see you "lose" your blog-voice!
ReplyDeletegood for you for making this switch. i hope it's the breath of fresh air and half full glass that you need. i always get something from your posts and look forward to reading them here. xoxo
ReplyDeleteExcited for you...and for me (who gets to read)! xo
