Blogging For a Year

I’ve been blogging for a year now. That’s 115 posts.

Writing publicly has made me more intentional and healthy. It’s also increased my mindfulness of learning, loving and risk-taking.

Here are some specific things that I’ve learned from (and about) blogging.

• Don’t over-think your art. Churn it out. Quality produces quality.
• Less is more.
• Always have a point. A point fits neatly into a simple sentence. Humans are too rambly by default.
• Only write about things that inspire, interest and move you. Enthusiasm is the great secret.
• Write for yourself. If anybody else enjoys a post, that’s an unexpected bonus.
• Everyday life is filled with interesting nuggets. Writing gets you in the habit of noticing and appreciating.
• Don’t play it safe. If you’re nervous about writing it, you’re onto something worthwhile.

This blog has opened doors and I’m excited to see where they lead.

Thanks for reading.
