Ever felt like you're a bit undecided but KNOW that you need to take a direction and pursue it?
I am still contemplating what changes that I really need to make.
I'm sort of feeling, "out with the old, in with the new." The first change, you can see: I have changed the format of my blog. It's the new year and a perfect time to make changes. Besides this format change, there will be a few more blog changes soon. I would like to make a three column presentation, just haven't finished with everything yet.
I've been blogging for more than a year now, and I want to customize my writing to reflect who I am. I may have to dig deep to find just who that is and to find my voice, in the midst of all the bloggy creativeness out there, but find my voice I will. Sometimes in the past, I have taken my lead from what others are doing, i.e. Wordless Wednesdays. I soon ran out of cute pictures to post. I tried doing a Tuesday Proverb, although I still think this is a good idea, it was really the wrong day of the week for me. Maybe Monday would be better. Still thinkin'.
I want to wander about my mind for creativeness that has been hidden. I want to journey around the despair and disappointment that stifles, and be completely surprised by inspiration that lies dormant. I want to present a beautiful blog that is an inspiration to others, that's not just common place. It will take some effort, I know, but it is an adventure worth taking.
So, I hope that you will bear with me as I begin quieting myself, listening to my spirit, and becoming self-honest to see where this journey will take us. Perhaps you will see yourself in my words or in the pictures of my work that I chose to present in this blog. And hopefully, over time, you will begin to see the things for which I strive.

Linda, I am also struggling with what I want my blog to be...That is tough for me as I find my mood changes frequently and I can't settle into a rythem. I can't even decide what medium to use for my work I enjoy them all so my work is eclectic and maybe not so recognizable as mine...hmmm must think about that. Good Luck!
Have fun with the changes - and we'll come along for the ride!
Can't wait to see what you have in store for us for the new year :)
Good luck with your changes and plans! I'm looking forward to seeing what you do.
I've thought about Wordless Wednesdays, too. The ease of not needing to write anything--so tempting! But I don't always even come up with a photo for my Friday Fence Posts, so I probably won't give myself another photo assignment, lol.
I'll be checking in to see all the changes. =oD
I am excited to see what direction you will go =) I love the new look to your blog! I'll be praying for you =)
roflol - I am too wordy to do wordless Wednesday... so I have started a "Wednesday's Words" =p I am working on some other new features, too, as well as some changes. I think our writing shows our growth as well as our personalities.
I love your blog, Marlene =) I always feel like I have visited with you when I have gone there! I think that too much 'order' and 'sameness' can be stifiling, too. I think that people like a litte variety now and then - just my idea =p
awesome, Linda! And you will do it, too! So glad we get to be privy to it!
