I don’t think there’s any way I could kill this blog and be at peace with it. It’s somehow become a part of me.
The first blog I ever created that actually went somewhere was KenandPaper.com, a little experiment that lead to the creation of this one.
I felt guilty when I slowly stepped away from it, which is probably why I’ve hung onto it and tried a time or two or three to resurrect it. Now, I’m ready to let go.
I’m ready because this blog, I now realize, has replaced that one in my heart. It’s done so because it’s personal, more personal I suspect than I’ve really allowed it to be, which is something I hope to change in the days ahead.
And, as you may or may not know, I’ve created a new blog, KenGRobert.com, Adventures in Being Human. The whole idea behind the new blog is to free myself to write about a broader range of topics because I think there’s more to being human than just being creative, and I’m interested in all of it.
Also, if it’s possible, I’d like to create a business some day, one in which I write, speak, and possibly even do some coaching. I believe KenGRobert.com will better enable me to do that.
But I’m still a mildly creative guy, a confessed non-expert trying to find ways to lead a life of quiet inspiration. Drawing pictures, writing poems, engaging with books and art and music are some of the ways I do that, some of the ways I feel a need to do that.
And thus I need a place to do that without apology, without concern for Google rankings, feed stats, or even the approval, I’m sorry to say, of those who stop and visit. This is that place.
I’m going to put my pictures here, my poems here, my feelings here, and so on. This is where I share what’s in my heart. The new blog will be where I share what’s on my mind. Of course, the two things will overlap, which is just the way it ought to be.
I apologize to those of you who’ve tried to follow me only to find that I’m traveling in circles and figure eights, and to dead ends and back again, but that’s just the way such journeys go. A straight path would only bore me, anyway.
So, as the title of this post announced, this blog is about to get personal – well, more personal. I hope you don’t mind.
