Writing this blog changed me. It turned out that even though my main goal wasn’t blogging itself, nonetheless I loved it.

The thing was, I didn’t have enough time. Various life forces converged. In particular, my job kicked into high gear. But there was a part of me that pined away, wanting to blog.

Then came the Christmas holidays. Every year this is a time I reflect and try to come up with a goal for the new year — a goal that’s both challenging and realistic about my limitations. This holiday the thing that kept popping into my mind was blogging. Left brain: “You don’t have time.” Right brain: “Pout. But I want to.” Left brain: “That’s not good enough.” And so on.

Finally the big day came and I couldn’t come up with anything else that did it for me. Worse, I’m perceived as a blogger in the worlds I circulate in. People are even asking my advice about who should blog and how.

So, I took the leap, with one sensible caveat to myself. This new blog would not be about substantial posts. I gave myself permission to dash stuff off, make more typos, not dot every i, etc., etc. For subject matter, well…. In many ways it’s still the same as this blog, but it’s not particularly church-focused. Sometimes I blog about church and web. Sometimes I blog about work and web. And sometimes, gasp, I just blog about fun stuff like Mr. Web Diva climbing trees.

So here it is…. Enjoy…. The Happy Web Diva.
