Everyone Gets a Second Chance
If at first you don't suceed, try, try again.
The only true failure is when you stop trying.
As long as you're moving forward, no matter how slow, you're still making progress.
These are just a few of the phrases that popped into my head when I discussed the options for my blog. I've tried it before. And needless to say, I didn't do so well. It's not that I didn't WANT to write a blog or keep up with it. I did. There were just so many other things that kept pushing the blogging updates down on the priority list.
However, after talking to a few good friends, I realize that a blog isn't just about writing. There is a sense of connection when you create and share a new post. I didn't realize how much until I began reading their archives. But it's true. They put a lot of themselves into their blog posts and they share a piece of who they are with their readers each time.
I get it now. And I apologize. I was simply writing for the sake of writing and to build an audience. I was wrong.
Beginning in 2017, I will be doing regular blog posts (granted not as often as some of my fellow writers do). If, through my posts, I am able to connect with any of you, I will feel i have sincerely accomplished my goal and learned a valuable lesson.
Everyone gets a second chance. This is mine.
Until then, wishing all of you a very happy holiday and a year ahead that breaths life into your dreams.
