I love this picture of the dandelion. This little flower represents wishes for others and just a weed to some. I happen to like the little dandelion. For such a small unassuming plant, not only does it help bees do their work, but it is also edible and medicinal for people. I love that it starts as a bright yellow flower and matures to this wispy, fragile filaments that can be carried away on the slightest breeze.
The other reason I like the picture is because it felt representative of me thinking and perhaps wishing what I’d like for this space to be. Iggylife.com means alot to me. But I don’t feel that it has reached its maturity yet. This space has not yet blossomed and does not yet have its wings to drift in the sky. I want it to get there, but I’m not sure how. I don’t know quite what it is I’m looking for or envisioning for this space. It hasn’t quite materialized for me and that’s ok. I feel like the spirit of the wish is there, but it’s still foggy. It feels more like an echo right now, but I can’t hear the words yet.
I had said before that I didn’t want to ‘niche,’ because I felt that was not representative of life.
Life is not one dimensional. It is complex, dynamic, and always changing. This is very true about life, but I’m beginning to think that for a blog or web page, using that same model is probably not the best idea. As the page author, I’m also realizing that having topics range from A-Z is too much. I find myself in analysis paralysis and I end up not deciding what to write about.
It puzzles me because my other blog, Books, Blogs, & Bits feels ‘easier’ for me. I’ve found my flow and rhythm on that page. I enjoy posting on that page. Maybe it’s because I’m posting about things I enjoy like reading and listening to audiobooks and podcasts. That page is ‘niched’, but it still gives me variety and flexibility.
Where does this leave this site? I don’t know yet, but I’m still keeping the page. I will still post. But, how do I focus the content? I’m not sure yet.
I’m keeping this short as I sort things out.
I appreciate you being here, even you if only accidentally stumbled upon this page. THANK YOU!
Please be patient with my trials and errors in this space.
