It was a little over a year ago when I changed my blog from
“The Yellow Butterfly” to “All These Things.” Also, I had honed in on what I
wanted to write about. I admitted I was a writer. One of my goals for this year
was to learn more about blogging and writing in general. I have done that to
some extent, although there is so, so much more to learn. However, slowly I have read things here and there and listened to podcasts that were helpful.
The more I thought about my writing, and my blog, I felt
that something needed to change. With the blog title of “All These Things”
referring to seeking the kingdom of God, I felt it odd to write about some
things I felt compelled to write about. I felt as if I had to put a twist on
each thing to make it spiritual. It is true I do try to honor God with all that
I do and write, but the title just felt too serious for “My Favorite Salad
Dressing Recipe” or things like that.
And so, after much thinking and discussion with my husband,
I decided to make a new blog. Next week, I will reveal it to you! That is where
I will be doing the majority of my blogging. The title is simple: my name. I
know it’s all in my head, but it feels like coming home. There I can explore my
writing style and work to find my “voice.” There are no “rules” (as made up as
they are) about what to write. If I want to write it, it works, because the
blog is named after me.
I have a vision for “All These Things” that needs some more
praying, musing, and planning. Until then, it will be quiet. When the time
comes, I’ll be sure to write about it on my main blog.
Come back here on September 1st and I’ll have a
link to my new blog! I’m really excited to share it with you all, and so much
more in the future!
