On the road to Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico
My 2nd Blogiversary Approaches
I am approaching my 2nd blogiversay on August 7, 2011. As this date approaches, I find I have never quite “found my voice” in the low carb blogosphere the way I wanted to.
I didn’t really intend to be a health and nutrition writer. I was aiming more at writing about lifestyle and, hopefully, about living well as a lover of the low-carb lifestyle.
I do not really want to debate the merits of carb restriction. And I don’t want to become a scientist, or play one on my blog(s)…
But with things like the recent Hope Warshaw article, which stirred up the low carb community like a hornet’s nest, I find myself entering the nutritional fracas more than I’d like to. And trying to defend the scientific evidence.
There are so many low-carb bloggers and podcasters who are doing such a fine job at it, I have decided to take a bow, and take a break from low-carb blogging. I’m not leaving the low-carb community, so don’t think I’m going anywhere! I’m just not going to be posting to this blog any more…
Blog Separation
Another element of my life as a blogger has been fairly strict compartmentalization. Boy, THAT’S a big word! I just mean, I have a low-carb blog. I have an inspirational Christian blog. I have a motorcycle blog. And I have tried to keep my blog audiences separated.
This was mostly because I didn’t want my religious beliefs to offend my low-carb readers or dilute my low-carb impact, and vice versa times 3. I have always lived my life from the heart, and I have found this separation to be more cumbersome and less inspiring than I thought it would be.
Instead, I would like to pursue a blog format that I can use to share what is on my heart, whether it relates to nutrition, health, science, motorcycling, religion or whatever comes up as I pursue the fullest life I can.
Who knows, I might even talk politics!
God forbid!!
I’m not trying to be cryptic by not telling you exactly what direction I AM TAKING…
I simply have not decided yet!
