I haven’t blogged in almost a year. And I’ve missed it. Life has picked up and blogging and podcasting have been on pause. But I’m ready to slowly add them back in. I firmly believe we can do everything we want to do. Just not at the same time.
I can be a homeschooling mom, volleyball coach, worship leader, marathoner, podcaster, blogger, author, or any other hats that I wear with pride. I just can’t be them all at the same time. We have to prioritize what we can handle in each season, otherwise, we will begin to despise the roles we have chosen.
Over the past few months away, I have been focusing heavily on finishing my book, kids’ activities and homeschooling. And have been making great progress in these areas. They are a bit on autopilot now which is allowing me to slowly incorporate blogging and podcasting again.
I don’t know how often I will write or record, but I’m starting again. Starting again or starting over can be hard. It’s hard not to compare to what’s already happened and easy to fear what might. But I’ve decided I’d rather start and see than wait and wonder.
This resonates–I just quit my job and don’t plan to go back for a year. Blogging is a life-saver to reclaim (even discover?) who I am/was outside of my professional identity…but I’m still trying to figure out what pace is right for me, and to stop myself about making the blog my identity for lack of the one I just left behind. Aaaack!
