The Art of Daily Blogging

At the year’s start, I took up blogging. Not only to improve my writing chops, but to also give myself a consistent place to process day-to-day experiences.

I’ve tried to keep the stakes low, tossing as few pennies into the pot as possible. Because, like Seinfeld, it’s a show about nothing. And the simple things; my ducks, daughter, husband, friends or the antics of my Uncle Eddie from National Lampoon neighbor, or poetry, or as of recent; a book club.

And while it’s about nothing, it’s also about everything. On Smithsonian-like display are also my heart, values, and truths. Because this is a shapeless and meaningless art form if, by the page’s end, I haven’t felt a movement from the inside. (Not that kind). – Oh, and sometimes I’m funny?

Writing is a real-time whittling experience on my personal and interpersonal challenges, one where the finished product I’m often proud. Writing is also a nodding head of a friend that says, “Go on,” even in times when the path forward is uncertain or unclear.

I don’t know what I’m sometimes doing, but I also don’t avoid certain subjects.

I reach for the stars and get to know the best and worst parts of myself.

Sometimes the work I do in counseling sessions bleeds in here, too, because it’s so freaking cool! I find discovery and understanding of why fascinating, especially surrounding the darker aspects of our psyches.

You might like spending time here if you respond with a heck yes to my Psychology Today profile request. “I prefer going deep and value people eager to do the same.”

If you’re a first-time caller, welcome.

If you’ve been coming by daily or close to it, I really appreciate your support.

And to all you likers, commenters, and readers that engage and share yourself too, you are fuel to my dimming, sputtering fire on days I don’t see the point, So, thank you.

And as always.

Love,
Jaclynn
