And the reason it's been a minute is because I'm getting messages from my universe that transparency and honesty are not always welcome. In fact, they are often frowned upon.
My goal in writing this blog was to be honest and open about my thoughts and opinions on any and all matters. And, yet, I've found myself self-editing and being more close to the vest for fear of agitating those who may take umbrage with my honesty, no matter how nicely I frame it.
Yes, I'm being coy here and, yes, I'm still keeping it close to the vest because I've been told that I really should keep my mouth shut. That my opinions and feelings don't matter.
And I'm just not sure if it's worth keeping a blog if I'm always in fear of reactions and constantly looking over my shoulder for criticism or the stink eye.
Maybe, of course, it's just a matter of me developing a thicker skin.
Or maybe it's a matter of other people getting used to the fact that I have a voice that is of my own making, no matter what others think my voice should (or should not) be.
If you're reading this and wondering whether I have YOU in mind whilst writing this, please ... just ask me. Because, chances are, I don't. You're good. We're good.
But, yes, it's been a long couple of weeks.
So, I guess I'll steer clear of agitating topics, and stick with general, menial current events, such as Harry and Meghan.
