What An African Woman Thinks

• Of Blog Block, Aid thoughts and Being

  Posted: September 2nd, 2009, 7:12am CDT

  I went and suffered a blog block. I did. And then a mild case of the twitter jitters too. My online life went into sympathy drought, shrinking from a steady river to a ‘there used to be a river here once upon a time, we think, we seem to remember...’
  
  It’s how life gets. Or maybe, it’s how we allow life to get.
  
  I’m now living, (temporarily, I hope), how the other half lives. I envy what my life used to be. And I look forward to what it will be soon.
  
  In the meantime, I’m learning to be rather than to do.
  
  So when I can sneak a moment all to my lonesome, which really isn’t often, I don’t ask myself what I will do, I ask myself what I will be. Creative maybe? Or Adventurous? Thoughtful? And then I go and do the thing that I’ve decided to be. It’s fun. And exciting. And oh-so-soul opening.
  
  Anyway, just thought I’d dust off my keyboard and show up in these parts and beat my digital chest a little just so folk know I’m not gone forever ever. Although when I’ll be back is anyone’s guess.
  
  In the meantime, I’ve lately discovered an interesting new place with some interesting thoughts on development: AID THOUGHTS. Quite, erm, I’ll go with irreverent. And you know how that totally sweetens my coffee.It's my window, but I don't own the view.
