Revamping Blog

So, after almost a year of getting my tech-challenged feet wet with blogging, and obviously struggling a bit to keep up with it since baby #4 arrived (thanks for your patience!), I’m thinking I might need to revamp things a little here.  I suspect if I can organize my posts into a more predictable rhythm, then maybe it will be easier for me to stay more consistent with my writing goals.  I hope!  What do you think?  🙂

As I reflect on the “green journey” messages I feel even remotely equipped to share (some more than others), I can pretty easily lump them into the following four categories:

1- Entry Point #1 – Personal Care Product Ingredients
2- Entry Point #2 – Working From Home
3- Deeper Whys for Green Living
4- The Ongoing Journey of Learning and Change

Everyone on the “green journey” has his own “entry point” that got him started.  For me, it was the toxic ingredients a friend pointed out in the baby shampoo we were slathering all over our firstborn – and the opportunity I was given to work from home, educating folks on safer product choices.  The “deeper whys,” beyond just not wanting to expose my family to unnecessary toxins, have become clearer to me along the way, and they have motivated our family to continue the ongoing journey of learning and change.

So, starting in August, I will experiment with putting myself on a little rotation.  Someday in the distant future I may be able to rotate through all four categories in one week, but for now while I’m too busy enjoying life with my precious little ones, I’m hoping to accomplish rotating through them in a month.

One post a week, that’s my goal.  First week of the month = Personal Care Ingredients.  Second week of the month = Working from Home.  Third week of the month = Deeper Whys for Green Living.  Fourth week of the month = Other things we’ve learned and/or tangible actions we’ve taken in our home along the way.

We’ll see how it goes!  And once again, thanks for your patience as I hammer out the balance in my life with techie things.  🙂

I’d love to know – what was your “entry point” onto this path?
