I’ve been writing this blog for about six months now. And over the last month I’ve been wondering what I’ve learned and what direction to head in.

What I’ve learned is that I can write this way, well enough to satisfy my standards anyway, and that I can keep producing worthwhile content. I didn’t know whether I would find that, after the first few dozen posts, I would simply have nothing left to say.

As to where to head. I’ve been helped by talking with two friends. One suggested that I needed to blog about what I truly care about most and that I need to be personal so that people have a sense of connecting with me as a person. As to what I write about - this is what I care about most (health broadly defined). I’m not however nearly so good at being personal. I tend to present the information and leave me out.

So I’ve decided to still have good information but intend to speak more from my heart - to put in more of me.

My second friend, he had asked me how I was doing with blogging, said that what people were looking for was stuff to ‘help them get through the day’. I think this is exactly right.

It feels to me that these two go well together: that talking directly to others about problems they may be having will mean me speaking from my heart.

I find this exciting and energising.

I’m also thinking of doing a series of posts on one subject straight after each other. Until now the series I have done have been spread out over several weeks. This is an experiment so all comments are very welcome. Let me know what you think about this and about my slightly changed direction.
