So I made a post nearly a year and a half ago. After having moments of posting lapses (I post some, then I don’t, post some, then I don’t) a lot has happened during that time. I have been here in the state of Texas for more than two years, after moving in April 2018 from Missouri. It was a long year in 2019, and now here we are in 2020.

Recently, much has transpired in the past few months. I began to take another look at my life, and although I enjoy it and feel blessed for where I am now, (still the sports editor for the Moore County News-Press, a position which I have held since October 2018), I felt there was something missing.

I’ve wanted to get back to writing and creating blogs (even though I was writing nearly every day for the newspaper). I have had a shift in my creative desires. Especially since all this global pandemic has been going on.

A quick note on that is I’ve been well. I still kept my job, even though there hasn’t been any local sports to report on. I’ve been trying to keep busy and doing what I can to fill my sports pages with information.

Anyhoo, the something I have been missing was on my spiritual side. I was attending church and trying to be active there, but since the beginning of the shutdown back in March I have contemplated something else. I think it was brewing before the lockdown and just came to fruition since I had a little more time on my hands.

And now, more recent events have prompted me to pursue this even more.

In the beginning of March, I started connecting with a friend that I have known for a while. She shared a lot with me and the first weekend in March when I was visiting my hometown, we spent a lot of time together – and long story short – we became a couple. The last two plus months were amazing, but unfortunately it ended as quickly as it began.

Prior to this, I was contemplating a revamp on my blog, while getting back to my spiritual side. I have since moved on from my previous religion (something that I have known my entire life) and have been gravitating towards another. I am stil retaining my Christian faith, but on a slightly different path.

I decided I want to share that in my blog. Beginning this Sunday, June 7, I intend to do a weekly post, at least, and share some thoughts, encouraging words, and/or scripture through my blog posts. Especially in these trying times. And although, some things are beginning to open back up and return somewhat to normal, it all is still not quite there. Additionally, I will also attempt to revamp my YouTube channel and might post on there a little more frequently sharing some of the same things and other positive content.

I have been preparing myself and putting things in place to get this new chapter going, and I think I’m ready to go.

I hope everyone is well and stays focused on the positive so we can all get through this together.
