I'm coming out of my blue period. I suppose that happens to the best of us. I want a redesign. Maybe starting from scratch with a new blog. Honestly, there is something heavy and slightly cumbersome about this blog that makes it hard to put on and take off at will. I feel like I'm entering a new phase, transitioning, having that breakthrough turning 30 moment three years late. Really it's like waking up at the first; 33 years late, but better now than never.
I just don't know that this space is right for my current needs. Those current needs being to: document the work we do; keep family and friends updated; maintain a running list of resources; and ultimately, to be a steady kick in the writerly pants or smack with the kyosaku. Why I feel this blog no longer serves me is unclear. What is clear is that all this mental going around has kept me so busy for so long that I haven't had time to do much here or anywhere else.
I like blueperiod. I've had this blog for almost six years. For some reason that seems like a long time. It is nearly as old as my oldest child. I began this blog at about the same time that I began my life as a mother. But I don't feel so blue anymore. I'm more red now, or orange even.
