Every now and then a thought will cross my mind and I will think, "you should write about that." But I haven't. I knew it had been a while, but didn't realize that 2019 was completely blank so far.
My voice has changed since I started this blog. In the beginning, it was a little squeaky. Then it got really loud and confident--sometimes with a bit of a Texas twang in it. Over the last few years, it's gotten a bit softer. Part of that is probably because blogging isn't "THE" thing to do anymore. Another reason is I'm learning I can only share my story and not others' (aka my family)--and I'm seriously the most boring in the Royal house.
I think the biggest reason is I'm a little bit hoarse. Back in my high school cheerleader days, I would yell so loudly on Friday, that my voice wound up raspy until Monday. I kinda feel that way now. I'm using my voice in other places and my voice is tired when I get home. And like cheering at a high school football game, my voice is hoarse for good and fun reasons.
I used to think I would write a book. Not sure that will happen anymore, but I DO know that I will continue to blog. My voice might not sound as polished as it once did (ok--who am I kidding--I've never been polished). It might not ever be as loud as it once once.
But here's something I've learned. I don't have to be the loudest or most polished voice in the room to be heard. I have to speak from my heart and be real.
So that's what I will continue to do.
