Changes
Some of you may know that this LJ blog began as an exercise during a year in which I was dedicated to Air. I wanted to explore the discipline of daily writing, and skillful speech. The latter of which means that this blog has almost always been entirely public. I wanted to push myself to write honestly and openly about what was really going on with me, at a deep level, while still honoring boundaries and respecting the privacy of others... basically speaking my truth with enough integrity so as to allow me to stand by anything I wrote, no matter who read it.
That's been an amazingly useful practice and I find my needs are changing.
I have a new public blog. Eighth-housebarbie@blogspot.com. I'm going to switch this particular writing practice (the skillful speech bit) to that venue. And keep this one as a place to talk a little more candidly than I might be comfortable doing in the full gaze of anyone who happens to come along.
I actually know most of my flist, I think. Was looking at it today and saw a few names I don't recognize, although most of you are friends of folks I do recognize. Do me a favor? If I don't know you personally, and if you are interested in sticking around for a little more behind-the-scenes style electronic witnessing, would you drop me a line and introduce yourself? If I'm going to let the skillful speech intention drop a bit, I'd like to feel safe about who I'm dropping it in front of.
I'll do the final culling and make this a friends-only site next week.
