Blog Life Revisited

I just realized that I stopped blogging. I don't know when it happened or why it happened but it did. Maybe it's the personal drama that seems to be a never ending distraction from the good and useful things we are purposed to do? Or maybe it's the constantly changing social media requirements that keep us on a roller coaster journey--Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat... leaving little time in the day for true reflection. My blog was always my way of expressing myself. Nothing fancy, just real talk. Now instead of talking about my deepest concerns for my children, my life,  my thoughts, I am engrossed in posting the best photo or capturing the best selfie ( with a little Photoshop, of course) that will make me relatable, camera-ready and culturally- in tuned all at once. But no more! I am recommitting myself to my blog. My true self. My passions in life. My jumbled thoughts and never ending ideas...at least that's what I am telling myself.
