rather, a slight change. It’s time to make a shift more than a change. The shift: developing my new blog called: …but, what do you think, what do you believe? Long title, I know. If interested you can find it at: http://yourthoughtsandbeliefs.blogspot.com/. Reality is that I will be spending more time in the next couple of months setting up …but what do you think? and making my posts there. However Me and Thee is the parent blog and I’ll still be making occasional posts here – eventually sharing the posting time between the two.
To be perfectly honest, the difference between the 2 blogs is negligible but it is time for a fresh approach to blogging – at least for me. What the new blog accomplishes is to provide me with some ‘breathing’ time to refreshen and reinvigorate Me and Thee. And perhaps even reinvent/recreate. (I’m in a ‘re’ time.) Actually, the difference between the two blogs is in their individual inceptions. Me and Thee really began with little purpose other than as a creative writing outlet. Which is fine but it took some time to discover it’s voice. …but, what do you think? was … intentional.
The teacher in me is first and foremost a poser of questions. My goal when I was teaching in college was not to hear the students parrot back what I know and believe but to do some critical thinking to determine what they believed… and why. Why is always incredibly important and ‘because’ is not a solid foundation. The secondary goal was not to memorize facts and figures but to know where to find the information.
Those two components were my foundation to teaching which has spilled over in my method of writing. I have discovered that there are certain themes that I tend to write about… obviously they are important to me. These themes such as character, forgiveness, discovery, becoming, etc. I’m also a strong advocate of knowing – why. This ‘foundation’ will be evident in the new blog.
I’ve enjoyed these past 26+ months of posting. And I am pleased that there have been as many ‘hits’ as there have been. Hopefully this will continue. So… this is far from the end…
Actually, you know… in the spirit of stream of consciousness… I think I’ll ‘recondition’ Me and Thee and turn it into an ongoing devotional available to whoever happens on to this site. Probably go back and cull the posts… hmmm…
