It’s been a hot minute.
It’s three and a half years since I posted anything to this blog. To this receptacle I had intended to dump all my various thoughts, inspirations and fears into.
But life intercedes. Events occur. Media distracts. Work disrupts. People flow in and out like the tide. Thoughts get tangled in the net of the now and it takes every effort to sort them out, much less commit them to electronic paper.
Obviously, we have all been through a lot over that span of time. Health, political and social crises have changed the landscape… we’re all coping with the “new normal”. Those of you closest to me know it’s been a particularly difficult year for me. I withdrew from the world for several months before I finally started to tip-toe back in.
So now I’m rebuilding, realigning, and rebranding. I’m connecting with new people and reconnecting with old ones. I’m reaffirming life goals and reinvesting in personal interests. And I’m redirecting my gaze… away from the pain of the past and towards a hopeful tomorrow.
You can stop gagging now.
Lee, I don’t know what you went through this past year but I hope and pray that you will come out of it completely, happier and more successful than ever. This blog post was beautifully written and I look forward to future entries.
Thank you for the kind words, Alix!
Love it!! You definitely have a special talent for this!!
