Change is not an instant's act . . . one writer's progression

The world of blog

January 23rd, 2010

Do you think that blogging actually disconnects you more from the world than it connects you to the world?  Sure, you are throwing out your voice to the universe and saying, “Hello?  Universe?  I exist, you know.”  I was having a discussion with my sister about how her friends are very into Facebook, and because of this, they expect her to know everything that is happening in their lives.  Ere go, when they meet in person, the friends are surprised that my sister actually has no idea what is happening in their lives because she is not an avid Facebooker.  Have you come to a point where you just assume that someone is always following your feeds?  Do you still feel like you connect with people on a personal level?

Change is not an instant’s act

January 6th, 2010

I have not set down my goals yet for 2010.  I don’t know why I am dragging my feet, but I do know that I am choosing to become better.  Tonight I realized that two of my friends have achieved things in the last five years that I have not.  I won’t elaborate, but needless to say, I had similar goals and achieved nothing.  As I was feeling depressed about this, the thought came to me that change is not an instant’s act.  It’s a twist on Dickinson’s crumbling, but I think it apt enough to change my blog tagline to.   Change is not an instant’s act–it is a conscious choice every day to do something that is hard but worthwhile.  I want to be a chooser of the difficult path so that I can become something better.  The easy path will get you nowhere.  And make you vapid.

A letter Saying Goodbye to 2009

January 1st, 2010

This is my first official post on the hollyvenable.com blog, and this is a momentous occasion considering that I’ve had the domain name for years.  I had dinner with a friend tonight and she was telling me that I needed to write a letter saying goodbye to 2009, and I thought it a brilliant idea.  What better way to let go of the old and usher in the new?  I’m still pondering what I shall say.  What would you say?
