Goodnight Sweetheart

Do you remember this post, fellow Pailer’s?

It talks about the strange flow of creative energy that writing requires in my life, and how it is intrinsically linked to the energy flow needed for dance.

I’ve been dragging my heels about writing here, as the sense of connection, and satisfaction has waned steadily over the last 6 months. I would love to tell you it’s just temporary. The fact is, I don’t know. Statistically, I can tell you I will likely be back in a few years, but there’s no guarantee of that.

I was in this “what on earth should I do about the blog?” headspace when my friend Cake took me out to dinner and a hot tub. Casually in passing he says, “Blogging isn’t for everyone.” And a cartoon lightbulb went off over my head.

I’d been beating myself up about this for a while, when the fact is, blogging ISN’T for everyone. I still have EIGHT posts, sitting in draft form, some from over a year ago, waiting to be explored, polished, tossed around, and shared with you like a little gold writing nugget. Something I found, something magical.

But my heart isn’t in it. My heart IS, however, in my feet. And my voice. I find myself shuffling my feet around more, bouncing around the house, singing softly to myself sometimes or loudly sometimes. ;D

So I mentioned this to a group of friends, and one especially good friend of mine, offered to take over the Pail. My Little Pail. I wasn’t sure how this was going to work…but we hashed out some details, and agreed he will re-vamp the layout, have his own style and category, and post as he feels the urge to. His name, dear readers, is Costello.

I know he’s posted a few times already, but I wanted to formally welcome him, and request that you comment and engage with him as often as you desire.

It’s likely I will occasionally pop my head in to share some new juicy tidbit.Some life change, some dramatic curve of the road.

But mostly, Pail readers, I wanted to say thank you. Thank you for two amazing years that have brought me empowerment of my own passion, love at any hour, intrigue, surprises, and a little heartbreak. The good kind.

Shine on, you crazy diamond.

Goodnight Sweetheart-Chuck Berry
