I thought a long time about what I wanted this blog to be about and why I was writing it. I am looking for a way to explain my life, probably more to me than anyone else. I think that the words on the screen represent so much more to me than just thoughts. To see the letters pour on to the screen is like seeing my life before my eyes. There to examine. It is hard not to notice the contrast of the black letters appearing on the white screen one at a time as if from nowhere. But that nowhere is somewhere.
Today I had a very insightful conversation with my friend Annie. Neither one of us are devoted to believing in destiny but today we were destined to have the conversation we did. We are having some of the very same thoughts about the direction our professional lives are on track to lead us. Trying to figure out who we are and what we are maybe "destined" to do. I do not know what the future will hold for Annie, or for myself for that matter.
Over the course of the next week, the structure for my book will start to come together as I focus on who I am and what I want my story to be. Just like this blog, I want to feel that the black letters appearing on the white screen will stand out in contrast. They will not only stand on my shelf as a book with a title, but in my heart as a capsule of who I am.
