Thinking of Switching Gears

Up until now, I’ve been a little unclear as to the purpose of this blog.  Truthfully, I’m still not 100% sure as to what I want to achieve through my writings in this space.  That being said, what I know for sure is that I’ve tended to follow a rule, a “should” if you will that has had me write from an advising/wisdom-dispensing place.  Up until now.

What I’m realizing today is that, while wisdom is great, and while I do have some to share, I think this blog really is more about providing a means of connection.  For me, I want to use this blog to connect with my fans/readers/followers.  It’s about being real, sharing real feelings and learnings, and if wisdom gets dispensed in the process, so be it.

You see, one of the things I know for sure is that so much more happens, so much more gets created, so much more is served when I come from the place of relating to others, being in relationship with them.  Being in relationship, for me, means connecting.  It doesn’t mean that I have to get it all right, or make a whole lot of sense, or even that I have to refrain from rambling.  Sometimes rambling is exactly what’s needed.

And so, I’m switching gears.  Moving from needing to always be the professional expert, to simply being human and real, and if I happen to dispense some pearl of professional expertise along the way, so be it.  I think this will allow me to stand more solidly in the flow.  Which is a good thing.

Until next time, here’s to keeping it real.
