Dusting Off The Ol' Keyboard



It's been a while, or at least it feels that way.

Truthfully friends, I haven't been sure what to do with this space. There has been so much growth happening behind the scenes. There's also been all this content being created in so many other places, that I felt burnt out and like things were starting to become half-baked.

I've asked myself what I wanted to share here, and tried to think about what I love about this blog. I like what it was when it started. I like how I use to write (even when the only person reading was my mom) like I could see each reader as a good friend. As if you, the reader, were sitting right here with me at our local Starbucks, and we were talking about whatever topic was being posted about here together.

I started to feel like actually reading a blog is a dying thing. I felt like people were just scrolling... always with the aimless scrolling (that's what I seem to be doing more of now). Scrolling without thinking, reading, or connecting. Scroll, tap, scroll, like, scroll... I'm bored. Where's my Pinterest app....

It feels like nowadays we have podcasts, Pinterest, Instagram, Youtube - all these new and growing social media apps that give us bits of information quickly. We can get all the information we want without really having to read, think, talk, interact, or dive any deeper than what lays on the surface.

Call me old-fashioned, but I want the details! I want the the juicy read, feel, and connect details that can only come from writing, typing, reading, and envisioning them.

One of my favorite movies is The Help. A while back, I shared how I was thinking about reading the book. So many of you immediately chimed in that the movie is great, but the book was way better. You were right. I picked up the book and couldn't put it down, and that's when I realized that I love reading more then scrolling. So here is to dusting the keyboard off, and talking about wife life, mom life, and sometimes even fashion...if I can get some sunshine to peek through. We do live in Michigan after all.
