New year. New venture. Then again, I don’t know that I can say it’s new, maybe recycled.

So, it’s 2023 and I’ve decided to reactivate my blog. I started it in 2014 and my last entry was in 2016. I get it. What happened, you ask? Well, life.

I looked at it a couple of months ago and decided to go back to it. It’s a new year. I’m feeling renewed. I’m also trying to get into this blogging process with a new mindset.

I understand many people prefer podcasts over blogs these days. I’m not one of them. I prefer writing over speaking. Hopefully, someone(s) will find what I write interesting and inviting.

Please check out what I wrote in the past and come back for what I write in the future. I plan to keep it up this time. My word for 2023 is PERSEVERE. I’ve got to keep moving and persist in my purpose.

I’ve also been choosing a word for the year for a couple of years now. A college classmate introduced me to it and I can say that is something I have kept up with. You choose a word to live by for the year. I chose persevere this year because I tend to procrastinate and put things off. My blog is a perfect example of that. I started it and worked on it for a bit and then just let it go. This year I have promised myself to keep up with it and carry on in spite of whatever else is going on in my life.

So, my question is if you could choose a word for yourself for the year, what would it be? Maybe you’re already following this practice; how’s it working for you? Let me know in the comments.
