Returning to Me

It has been a while since I have posted here.

It is not because I stopped writing. I think I started to feel like everything had to become a product. Like I was selling myself, my story, and my experience.

I do not like that feeling.

I do not like feeling like I am the product. I do not like feeling like I have to produce in order to have value.

I like sharing what I know. I like helping others. I like being a peaceful presence. But somewhere along the way, I stopped feeling like that. And honestly, I think some of that was my own doing.

I listened to too many people talk about making money, growing an audience, building a brand, and turning everything into content.

But that is not really what I am trying to do.

I do not want to talk into a void. I do not want to feel like I am speaking to a wall. But I also do not necessarily want to stand on a stage and perform for an audience.

What I want feels simpler than that.

I want to sit across the table, share a cup of coffee, and trade stories about life, faith, growth, work, motherhood, grief, purpose, and all the quiet places where we are still becoming.

I do not want to be a performer.

I want to be a conversationalist.

So maybe this is me returning to center.

I think I need to keep holding on to Isaiah 55, trusting that God’s Word does not return empty and that His ways are higher than mine.

But I also do not want to lose 1 Thessalonians 4:11-12.

A quiet life still has value.

Working with your hands still has dignity.

Walking honestly still matters.

And maybe I do not have to turn everything into a product for it to be fruitful.
