Living With Purpose

The ebbs and flows of life are dynamic. I believe the same goes for what people want out of social media and the internet. When I first began blogging in 2013, there was a strong community of writers with a passion for sharing their lives with others. That faded when posts became too long, or we didn’t have the patience any longer to read a whole blog post. People wanted the quick caption of a photo on Instagram that linked to whatever product or recipe the blogger wanted to share. Now in 2024 readers want more substance again. They miss the community aspect, and are tired of the constant barrage of advertisements when they open up a social media app.

I too miss the community aspect. I recently slowly started adding more content to my stories on Instagram, and some people I hadn’t connected with in a really long time were shocked to find out that I now live in Germany. They were even more shocked to discover that I have lived here for almost 2 years now. So, I have decided to make my return to blogging to share more of my life and adventures.

The type of content I want to share here is where I’m at in my running/fitness journey, what I’m doing for work these days, and what it’s like living outside of America, while my oldest daughter is back home in Texas and my youngest daughter is with us here in Germany.

Question: What is something in your life that you would like to get back to doing? Share in the comments!

I hope you will continue following along to keep the conversation going so that we can make meaningful connections once again.
