Proceed Until Apprehended

This post is actually number 102. I’m kinda proud of hitting the century mark. When I started blogging, I didn’t know how transformative this experience would be.

Because of this blog,

• I’m connecting with interesting, smart and engaged people
• I feel much more confident that my opinions have merit. I’m also confident I need to keep asking if they have merit.
• My articulation of my opinions and beliefs in the off-line world has improved – I think I’m a better writer and speaker from doing this.
• My blog provides a search-able repository of things I’ve felt strongly enough about to write down. I’m pretty sure I search my archives more than everyone else combined.
• I’m more outspoken and am being a radical truth-teller more consistently each day.

I’ve also found:

• There’s been lulls in my blogging when I feel like I just can’t do it as good as others
• There’s been increases in my blogging when I’m reading a good book.
• My best posts are written in one sitting.
• My blogging is most consistent when I remind myself that my thoughts are more helpful out than in.

Thanks for joining me. I really do appreciate it.
