I recently posted that I was thinking about gving blogging a break, or changing the direction of what I blogged about. Since that time, I have been doing some soul searching of sorts. I have come to the conclusion, in the process, that I love to write, but have lacked a plan to do so. The plan is being worked on right now, and I am pleased in the direction it seems to be going.
I know that I don't have it all figured out yet, but I do now know that I want to continue blogging. In fact, I have decided that I want to take blog writing up a notch and expand my audience, and perhaps my sphere of influence as well. I am wondering if my writing can become a form of mentoring that someone might find of value.
So, as as result of my soul searching, and some personal reseaarch, and on the advice of others who blog more regularly than I do, I have decided that within the next month or so, I will be moving my blog to wordpress.com. I will post my new domain name / blog address on this site for several months before I take this site down.
I know that in some way I want to continue to write about about being a "stuggling-less-than-part-time-singer-guitarist" because that is what I am. But as I reach the big "60" in another year, I find that I have some knowledge of a few things that I would like to share with those who might have similar interests, including doing some reviews of people, items, programs that have helped me obtain some needed life balance. That being said, I haven't quite got the exact plan worked out yet.
I am a little amazed at the amount of thought I am putting in to all of this. I am going to chalk it up to my recent change to a gluten free diet. It seems that a mental fog has lifted from my mind. One thing about mental fogs, you don't know you have one until it lifts!!! That being said, I know that I want to write about things I have used that helped my life and personal / professional ministry become more productive and effective. Organization and life balance have always been a strong interest of mine, and now I am doing a lot of study on what it means to live more simply as part of the overall process. Call it experience, or call it maturity, but I believe I have some good information to share.
Hopefully I will have this all figured out soon. I may try to do two different blogs, but perhaps my focus right now should be on just one, and do it as well as possible, which means several specific hours a week focused on good content.
More to come. Thanks for the support.
God's grace still amazes me . . . ><>
