On grace…

Last month, I started posting on the 12th day and in those 19 days from the 12th to the 31st, I posted 7 times which is not terrible (given my goal of at least 1 post every three days). Over the last few days though I have struggled with finding my voice on the page. The creativity and courage to give my opinion on a topic, be true to myself about what I feel and find the voice to say it too, that’s what I’m out here trying to build. Building implies that it is under construction, that this process is a work in progress, and that I should give myself more grace. This is (un)surprisingly ridiculously difficult. But it is what I’m choosing. Giving myself grace.

I didn’t want this week to begin again without any post. That is the main reason for this post, and although I could chuck it full of unrelated anecdotes and make it seem like I had more to say, that just feels very transparent. So I’m going to end it here.
