Where have I been?

I haven’t blogged for a long time, over 2 years at least. During Covid I was a typing away furiously every day or so it seemed. But when the virus slipped out of my immediate line of vision so did my keyboard and my blogging inspirations.

This has got me thinking, why is that? – is it because the world is a calmer place and there is not much going on….

Hardly!

Is it because I don’t have an opinion…..

Not likely!!

Is it because I don’t have time….

Very possibly!!!

But if I am honest, I think the truth is simpler. The online world seems like a bear pit these days where it’s possible to be savaged in an instance, cancelled in a heartbeat or written out of your own story before you have finished your sentence.

So does that mean I am scared?

Maybe.

Gosh – that doesn’t sits well for me at all, I pride myself on believing that I am brave.

It was a sobering thought when I realised that I have actually been stood on the side-lines on a range of things and that is not a very comfortable place for me to be. It’s not my natural home. I like to be heard. I like to express myself and I like to be curious.

So today, I am making a vow.

I will create some content on something I care about and publish it once a week.

I will re find my voice, I will quell my fears and express my opinions. Weekly!

Should be fun 😊
