I love this quote by Brene Brown. It puts simply everything we always knew without realising it. Coming back to blogging after over a 2 year break, I feel as vulnerable as I did when I posted my first blog post – Mother’s Day 2014. Each day however it got easier. As I connected with more people, my feeling of vulnerability lessened and I found my voice.
At present in most of the world we have an unprecedented way of life with restrictions that can change daily. In Australia, life last Friday week was so different to life yesterday. As a result, we accept that next Friday it could be very different again. We are all feeling vulnerable. But we are using the current situation to get creative and focus on what we can do and how we need to change things to get through. I’m a huge believer that many of the innovations that we put in place will become the new norm after the crisis as they will make everyday life better.
What are some of the innovating changes you have made lately?
Wow! Great to see you once again in blog land here!
Thanks Joy. Life is strange. I didn’t realise how much I missed blogging and it’s amazing community until I came back.
Welcome back! What’s making me smile is that I just opened my site with hesitating thoughts: “shall I… shall I not”… start again. See, I, too, posted my last one over two years ago, and have had many times the impulse to start again; the only thing stopping me were my fears that I may stop again, that I can’t be here for good. Truth is, coming back means coming with a richer life experience – the one you’ve accumulated meanwhile – but also, with very serious commitments. However, this is only with regards to myself, as I have a great need to make this blogging my main focus. Glad you’ve made it, once again!
Since being back i have come to think of the blogging community as an old friend. You might not see them for years but when you do, you instantly feel at home and pick up from where you left off.
What a heartwarming thought!
