It’s been a minute.
How are you doing? Are you surviving? I hope the last few years haven’t been too hard on you. I had to dip for a bit because things got really challenging in my world. But I’m still here to talk about it, and I’m very grateful for that.
Writing blog posts has been a long-time joy for me. I’ve missed sharing here with anyone willing to read and follow along. I don’t do well sharing when I’m in the middle of a storm. I’m just coming out of survival mode and feeling like I can finally talk about it now.
So much has changed over the last few years. It’s hard to put that part into words yet. I know I’m not the only one feeling that. A lot of people tell me the pandemic and social change gave them an awakening, too. I’m not really sure where we go from here but I am hopeful about it.
Despite all of the heavy stuff, this summer was really rewarding. (It’s still really hot outside so using past tense in reference to summer is wild.) I spent time with family, went on a few adventures, reconnected with old friends, and stepped outside my own comfort zone repeatedly.
Some of you have guessed that I’m working on a new project. You’re right. I haven’t shared much about it yet. I plan to do that once we meet some of these grant deadlines. It’s still very new and I’m protective of ideas when they’re in their infancy.
I hope you’re doing well, and I look forward to hearing what you’re doing.
