In Complete Sentences


Starting today…
To me, blogging, or, more accurately -- being a blogger -- is an ongoing process.  Just because you've written a poem once does not make you a poet; taking a few pictures does not make you a photographer.  I don't want to belabor this sentiment, but writing is a process of reflection, of chronicling, and of creating.  It's a process I'd like to initiate and sustain, starting now.  Starting today.


Why now?
There are several reasons I am doing this now:

  1. I started this blog this summer and was not able to sustain routine posting, which was my goal.  Now that a big life milestone is out of the way, I’m ‘rebooting’ my efforts at blogging.
  2. I work in consulting, a field that emphasizes incomplete sentences over prose; monosyllabic words over colorful narration; and bullets over paragraphs.  I miss using complete sentences in my professional life.  
  3. When I emailed a bunch of friends about "should I start a blog?" the reaction was "yes, do it!" so I'm carpe-diem-ing.


 Topics
I will share observations and ideas I have about personal and professional growth, including lessons learned at my job and in my relationships.  I am interested in personal betterment, changing habits, and pivoting perspectives.
