Purpose

I've been thinking about this blog a great deal of late. The question I've been tossing about concerns what this space becomes. Do I focus on food, books, family, projects, inspiration, or commentary? Do I need to spin off topics into separate blogs?

The blog is more aptly named than I had first imagined. Life is a random walk, filled with bits and pieces. Sometimes those pieces are cohesive and sometimes the center does not hold. In the end, that crazy, mixed-up world nurtures a life. I can separate things out into neat piles but that doesn't quite reflect who I am and how I live.

So what for this space? First and foremost, more consistent writing. My writing teacher suggests that this effort really is a writing practice for me. Practice I must and post I shall. I'm also going to be more diligent about tags for topics; this should enable a bit less of the crazy, mixed-up posting if you or I want to find something specific. I would love to include more photos and images here and that will require more time with a camera in hand--hooray! I love a challenge. Making this space more robust promises to be satisfying.
