Back in my twenties, I had this idea for a blog that would have been, essentially, a beginner’s guide to various hobbies. At the time, I was actively engaged in several “new to me” subcultures: long distance running, indoor rock climbing, and road cycling. I was learning (and fascinated by) all the relevant lingo, nuances of equipment, and the validity of relevant resources. There was SO much to learn and explore … and I had the theory that THAT reality might be a barrier to entry for others (as insecurity and fear is often a stumbling block for us humans). So, my idea was to be a wealth of information for beginners - a confidence building inroad into various subcultures for my readers. The idea just never went beyond a shower contemplation.
Now in my forties, I find myself returning to the idea. I’ve found myself returning to horseback riding as my oldest daughter is taking English lessons and I contemplate joining her (I’m only barely versed in Western riding). I start a beginner (group) tennis lesson course in a couple of weeks. And, I’ve been dabbling in painting (both watercolor and abstract acrylics) in recent months. Additionally, I’m fast approaching the start of homeschooling my girls. Maybe these various activities (and the community that surrounds them) could be a writing outlet for me and become valuable input for those interested in similar? Maybe.
So, let’s see …
LOVE.
