Resolutions: late or early?

So if I make a resolution now, do you think it’s a very late 2010 resolution, or an early 2011 one?
Discuss amongst yourselves…

And while you’re discussing, I’ll explain what this is about. I’ve written before about how I love blogging, and I really do. I also hate writing, which seems counterintuitive, but it actually isn’t. To me, writing is hard, but blogging isn’t. Blogging is writing what I’m thinking – which means it doesn’t always make sense, but words come out and are recorded. Writing has to make sense…which is so not me. I’m quite random.

Circling back around to the resolution part of this confabulation (I totally just thesaurus.com’ed that word), I want to write more on this blog. So I thought I’d declare it to the interwebs and get it out there, so I essentially have to now.

I have been perusing through my first ever blog and I realized that I started it over 10 years ago. Man that’s sad. I didn’t realize it had been that long. It’s actually quite fun to read and I’m a bit sorry that I slacked off between years 2007-2010 and stopped blogging because I promise you, exciting and fun things happened in those times too.

So now, I will blog again. I noticed that I used to do something called “Stats” where I listed what I was watching, reading etc. I’m bringing the Stats back and updating it. It now will be called…

My New Blog

I recently launched a blog documenting my day to day life living with a chronic illness called fibromyalgia. While still in its early stages, I hope to develop the site into a resource of information and support for people living with chronic illness, as well as their family and friends.

The site also features discussions about my adventures as a young writer and photographer. In order to make use of my excessive reading, I will also be posting reading recommendations periodically.

I’d love for you to check it out and pass on the link to anyone who might be interested in reading my blog!

What I am Listening to…to write things and concentrate

I grew up with a musician. My mother is a wonderful piano player and studied music all her life. She taught music to children growing up and then became a music teacher in middle school. I was always surrounded by beautiful piano music every day and was very lucky for it. It relaxes and calms me and helps me to focus.

So now fast forward to today when I no longer live in the same house as a piano, I relax by listening to musicians who play the piano. My favourite artist to write to is Yiruma. I discovered him through YouTube and I don’t remember how, but I know it was this video that I stumbled upon and fell in love with his genius.

After replaying this song over and over on YouTube I knew I had to have his albums so I downloaded quite a few of his albums and they are quite often the songs I listen to when I write or if I need to concentrate. I have written before about how much I love a good tune to groove to, but when I need to form words I need songs without them or I end up writing out the words from the song into whatever I am attempting to write. Not very good when you’re trying to sound professional but instead write something about “getting down like the economy” (listen for it – you’ll hear it and laugh a lot!).

I am currently listening to Yiruma to write this very post and I hope you enjoy his music as well!

Have a wonderful day,
