the universe wins again...

So everyone has had those moments when the universe subtly nudges you in a certain direction but don’t you just love it when it outright slaps you in the face?!?! I don’t have those moments a lot but when I do, they usually make me laugh out loud from the pure irony and hilarity of their timing.

Today, I had one of those moments!

For a little while now, I’ve been considering shutting down this blog. I’ve had the hardest time though because there is a piece of me that really, really doesn’t want to. I’ve grown so attached and while my posting may be a bit more sporadic than I would like right now, my blog is still like an old friend that is always there for me when I need it…just waiting for me to vent away about my life’s recent happenings.

A large part of the debate that I have with myself is regarding my writing in general. With the overwhelming amount of work that has been launched into my photography, my writing has taken a major backseat in terms of priority. And I’ve been sad to see this happen. However, I also know that the start of my photography is much like having a small child; it requires a lot of care and attention right now but eventually it will grow up and be able to hold its own a little bit more. I find comfort in this; in knowing that the learning curve won’t always be so steep and that eventually, my photography will be my only job instead of one of my jobs and that in turn, will give my life the equilibrium that it’s been lacking over the past six months. And of course, this is where my novel and my writing in general will once again see the light of day. So needless to say that I haven’t yet been able to pull the plug!

Then low and behold, this morning I received an email from the Manager of Member Outreach at Helium.com, the writing network that I’m a part of, asking if they could feature my blog on their site! Seriously, I had to laugh; just as I was fighting with the idea of bidding farewell, the universe finds its way of telling me that it’s not quite the time just yet! I promptly emailed her back and all the while, accepted the fact that certain powers that be might know better than I do…

…at least for now!
