I see the start of a new year as an invitation—an invitation to living a fuller life. I don’t mean making resolutions which usually don’t change anything.
Instead of a resolution, I plan to take advantage of the invitation extended by the New Year to revive my long-dormant blog, to putting my work out in the world again and invite readers in.
Writing a blog is a funny thing. It’s like proclaiming to the world that you have something to say or that what you think and write about matters. In the best of all possible worlds, that would be true.
I hope by working harder on updating the blog, I’ll find a new purpose in writing and maybe entertain my readers from time to time. My blog allows me to share my journey through Covid, which is an ongoing part of my life. My battle with Covid was life-changing in profound ways—everything from my health to my relationships and how I live was affected.
The blog also allows me to share my sometimes quirky way of looking at the world and hopefully, makes my readers feel less isolated. Shared experiences and seeing how other people navigate this unpredictable world can bring us together or at least make us realize that we are not really the only one who thinks or feels like that.
So, that’s my new Year’s goal, promise, resolution, or whatever you want to call it: To bring my blog back, give it a little TLC and invite you, my reader, in.
I hope you’ll accept my invitation.
I am gladly accepting your invitation!!
I like your idea of restarting your blog. I enjoyed it in the past and look forward to the new ones. A recent issue of our Rotary magazine highlighted the need for establishing connectivity in our lives. Your blog helps me “connect” with you and your thoughts. Thanks so much.
I’m soooo glad you’re thinking of continuing with the blog. You’re such a talented writer and I love to read your thoughts. Keep up the good work!
I look forward to hearing more stories from you in 2023!
Sounds like a good plan, Kathy. I’m in!
Good luck, and I look forward to reading your new posts.✅✅
Happy New Year and let’s have more writing this year.
I’m excited to be able to follow you. I have also significantly changed my life twice since we last connected. I’m inspired by your writing and have begun to write a little too.
Glad you are back, Kathy❣️
Enjoy writing your articles and we will enjoy reading them.
I have been hoping you would write about your journey with “Covid”. You are God’s miracle. Thanks for sharing. Hugs
