Post #500: A Fresh Start

I've decided that my infrequent blogging is a result of one very basic thing: my job is not that interesting to write about anymore. I mean, that's not 100% true...I think my job is fantastic...and I'm loving learning about leadership, communications, marketing, etc...but unfortunately, I don't think that this information is interesting to most of my readers. This has become apparent over the last few months when I see a glazed over look in a friend's eye as I talk about "categorizing donors" or "updating promotional materials."

And I could talk about what YD is doing ministry-wide that's really exciting, but that's what all the print/video/web materials I'm producing are for...

So, I've decided, on post #500 to reinvent the blog...no longer as a YD-centric blog, but as my own blog, which may at times be ministry-centric, but most the time it probably won't.

And now I'm searching for a core purpose for said blog... here's a list of potential purposes:

--for my own vain need to say things outloud.
--to entertain.
--to educate.
--to give you a break from the work day.
--to keep friends and family updated on my life.
--to get in a daily habit of writing.
--to keep my family updated with new photos of me and boyfriend.
--to become a nationally recognized writer via blog.
--to offer links to cool places on the web, such as this.

I don't really have a lot of direction, so, if you're currently reading the blog, I'd like some feedback on what keeps you reading--is it a good laugh, is it fun links, is it interesting insights, is it photos from Clay's Valentine's visit (oh! one of those on the right!) What keeps you coming?

Please post a comment, even if you're not normally a commenter...inquiring minds want to know...and I want to know what you want before I re-start my posting.

Gracias!
