Home again, home again

I've had an interesting blogging experience. I am not sure what to make of it really.

I love to write here, and I link this blog to my Facebook page so people can see what I have been up to. But apparently, Facebook friends weren't the only ones reading it. That's fine. I was invited to join Storylane, a new blog site that was opened for about 4 months before joining forces with Facebook and abandoning the site they recruited me for.

I loved Storylane. I loved the way the pages were set up, the prompts for stories, and how people would ask me questions to tell stories about my life. I loved that I didn't have to feel inspired to answer a question, I could just write for the joy of writing. Mostly, I liked that it was a safe place to work out my own questions about life and God and growth. I will miss the community of people.

But I've decided that I am not going to miss writing because I am not going to quit. I love to write; love to share. You better believe that just because my favorite blog site sold out to Facebook, it's not going to stop me from being heard.

Another good thing came from all of this. I am learning that real life friends and actually talking to people about what I am facing, although scary, is the best move I can make in life. So, I am speaking up for myself, not just typing. It's hard, but I think in the long run it will be a good thing. My best friend told me, "If anything, you are finally standing up for your mental health, which is positive." I positively agree.
I am thankful for Storylane, but I am more thankful for blog sites that don't go away! LOL! Who knows, the Storylane team may work miracles on the Facebook notes section. Until that day comes, you'll find me blissfully typing here. The real adventure is in consistency, my friends.

So stay hungry for truth, for connection, and for being genuine. I have a lot more food stories to share, but I just thought I'd give you a heads up on where I have been in blog land for the last little bit.

Until next time, happy eating!
