When I decided to move to Hawaiʻi, I started a new blog (Renegade Reflections) to chronicle the experiences and lessons accompanying that move. My thought was to maintain this blog (One Foot On A Banana Peel) for my nominally “deep” thoughts and big ideas, with Renegade Reflections reserved for things specific to the move.
What I’ve discovered is that I can’t separate my thoughts and ideas from the context in which they’re formed. Time after time I’ve had an epiphany leading to a big idea or deeply affecting realization, and when trying to decide where to post it I’ve chosen to post it in Renegade Reflections almost every time, because living on Maui has been integral to the narrative.
I haven’t altogether neglected this blog—I posted a few months ago when I emerged from my chrysalis, a new creature—but even those posts really belonged in the other blog.
I’m not committing to blogging frequently or regularly—it’s seasonal for me—but when I do post, it’ll almost certainly be “over there,” rather than here. So if you’re still interested in the nonsense I over-share (and you’re not connected to me through Facebook, Google+, or Twitter), you may want to follow me there.
Mahalo!
