Recovery, Writing, Blogging, Etc.

Nothing has been posted here since 2011. Many of you know I became ill toward the end of 2011 with pancreatitis. It nearly killed me, several times. The recovery has been a long, slow, and painful ordeal full of truly horrific moments as well as some good ones. I don’t want to be defined by this event yet it will be with me the rest of my life. I’m grateful to my family and friends who helped out with the fundraiser. It’s humbling to have been shown so much generosity that I will never be able to return. I can’t thank everyone enough even though I’ve tried.

My family and close friends who put with my craziness can tell you I wasn’t always there during this time. Under a recommendation from my doctor, I dropped off social media for a while and worked on some cognitive rehab. That led me to begin writing a book.

This is still the same WordPress blog I’ve had for many years now, but I’ve archived all of my old articles. I’m cleaning house. Much of this blog was me finding my way but things are different now. I will re-release probably 60% of the old stuff and delete the rest as part of my own personal content strategy.

Speaking of content strategy, that will be the primary focus over at futureproofingcontent.com. Here, I’ll still write about writing, music, and stuff I like.
