2022 was a year of transition for me. It’s been both wonderful and challenging, but that’s life, huh?
Chapter X is my passion project, between our monthly Zoom get-togethers, podcasts and the pieces I write each week. I am grateful to all of you who join in the meetings, listen to the podcasts and read my words.
I admit that I feel the challenge to create or get my words on the page. I stare at the blinking cursor and think, “What the hell can I say that I haven’t already?” Or what I can write that you will find interesting. There are times when I close out the empty page, throwing up my hands in frustration, and other times I sit and stare wishing the words to the page. I’ve tried writing with music on and without; searching for something meaningful to share.
Looking a little closer at this idea, it seems a microcosm of Chapter X for me. Sometimes I’m lost, and sometimes I’m focused and full of ideas. It’s not a straight line and I guess that’s ok. I think about what’s next and at other times, I allow myself the freedom to just be and not worry about it. Like life, it’s a mixed bag.
The constant in all this is you. My desire to bring interesting and meaningful content to you drives me. I hope I don’t fail too often, but failure is part of it, right? As we move into 2023, I hope you will let me know when I fail, what you might want me to write about, what guests might be interesting to hear from, and how I might help you through your journey.
I am grateful for every comment, everyone who stops by in our Zoom room and every person who listens to the podcasts. I ask that you share Chapter X with others. The more, the merrier. After all, we all have blinking cursors in our lives… maybe it’s helpful to watch it together.
Cheers!
