After a good hiatus, I have decided to start writing again,
only a little differently.
This time, instead of writing short little reflections for
my blog, I’m going to start sharing more of the writing that defines me, the
writing I think I do best—the writing which is most terrifying to share.
These are going to be posts about my life story: the things
that have shaped me, the journeys I have traveled. It might feel more like
memoir at times. Some of these stories I have shared before in some form with a
few who are close to me. Some I have never shared at all. I will intersperse
longer stories with short reflections, and old material with new, to keep the
past connected to the present.
This will be my most honest writing, my most vulnerable. I
write not for pity or congratulation or controversy but because I hope that in
being vulnerable, I will also be relatable. I know that my favorite blogs and stories are those that are genuine and honest. I know that my story wants to be
shared more broadly. I also know that sharing it is a risk. But risk makes writing worthwhile.
Know that my writing in the following weeks will come from the heart.
I am sure you will treat these words with the same gentleness and grace that
you have always treated me.
