Why on Earth Do I Blog?

April 29, 2007 by Liz 16 Comments

It’s Heavenly

A nice young woman I barely know asked me, “Why on Earth do you blog?”

How on Earth do I explain?

Every morning before the sun gets up, I get up, and I find my way to my computer. I crawl inside to find the thoughts of people I know waiting for me. What a gift, what a joy it is to share the minds of so many friends and to meet them so regularly.

I type what I think, what I feel, what I’ve discovered, unocovered, and I learn about what I know. People take what I say and tell me what it means. They explain how it goes. Ideas fly. They float and bend, like so many clouds in a summer sky of many minds talking without a sound, yet building meaning and finding truth.

Every evening before the sun goes down, I sit down and I find there’s a reason to keep telling stories and reading stories that help me understand why and how. I figure out who I am, who you are, who that is, who that was why we’re here. I hear about everyone that I meet. And together we make sense. I see how people and stars are made from the same stuff.

And together we make something good — something that would not be, could not be, if I did not, if you did not, blog.

I blog because I can.

Blogging is a universe and a university.

Who on Earth could say no to being part of this positive humanity?

I blog because we have the power to change the world.

So Tim, Dawud, Mark, John, Samuel. why on Earth do you blog?

Having a hard time finding focus?

Having a hard time finding focus?

It can be hard to find focus sometimes. A few months ago, I was talking with a colleague who was having a hard time finding focus in their work. They spoke of feeling pulled in multiple directions and of many obligations — both at work and with their family. As I listened, I could hear […]

Sometimes We Outgrow Our Stories

Sometimes We Outgrow Our Stories

The other day I was having a conversation with a friend. We were sharing stories from days gone by about each of our lives. We hopped from one story to the next — based on what each of us were sharing. It was really an incredible discussion as we were each learning from the other […]

It’s Not Your Passion, But Your Purpose

It’s Not Your Passion, But Your Purpose

Everyone feels lost sometimes. I don’t think I know anyone who hasn’t been lost in their head at one time or another — even those folks overachieving all over the Internet. We all find those moments that we wonder about who we are and what we want. But the question is not whether everyone gets […]

Getting Past Fear

Getting Past Fear

I felt the more embarrassing fear of people’s judgment. When I decided it was time to write again, I avoided the computer for the longest time. On the rare occasion that I managed to sit myself down to write, I’d get caught up answering email or reading articles around the web, not doing writing I […]
