I get out of the flow and rhythm of writing regularly and it can be difficult to get back in.
The thoughts don't come as easily, as readily, as immediately. The thoughts are there – it's not like they've gone away – it's just that there's other stuff going on.
Like work, and kids, and rest, and book editing, and time away from the computer – as much as it's possible to have time away from the computer.
On one hand, I enjoy the relative break from posting regularly. On the other hand, I miss it. I miss the dialogue, the relevancy, the back and forth, the new learnings, the connections – old and new.
And, I have enough maturity and wisdom to know that LinkedIn is a tool for me to use if and how I choose, not a mandatory, obligatory crutch that I depend on for survival.
May seem obvious, but sometimes I forget that. That my worth is not dependent or related to how and how often I show up on LinkedIn.
That there are other channels for connecting, for driving impact, affecting change.
Anyway, I'm kind of writing out loud here, trying to write myself back into a writing rhythm, back into a flow of social and cultural and political and professional commentary.
Adding to the dialogue Inspiring and being inspired. Challenging and being challenged. Seeing where it takes me. . .
