starting over

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.

  1. 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.

  2. Good 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!

  4. I'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!
