It's back to school for me and many new beginnings so to celebrate..here's my brand new blog! I'll keep this one updated more often and be able to share lots of recent pictures and cool websites that I run across during times of distraction. Come back soon...there'll be something new waiting!

The return to blogging!

So I've been waiting for quite awhile to return to blogging with a bang...so many "hot topics" in the world that I definitely have thoughts and opinions about-it was hard to decide which would be part of the grand re-opening.....Would it be outrage over that annoying show "Miracle Workers" with its incessant use of terms like "wheelchair bound" and "cure"? Maybe I'd start on a positive note-writing about my enjoyment of the show "Little People Big World"? But then again, I don't watch ALL that much T.V. so why focus on a television show? So I thought-direct action...I'll blog on the recent ADAPT protests and how they succeeded and where the fell short. But then that's a pretty narrow focus too--so I considered writing my first blog of the new year about other issues that I feel passionately about-maybe within my career of psychology and children's issues. Clearly, my lack of blogging hasn't been related to a lack of anything going on in my life (or my head!)......I did take a hiatus from updating my site as well but I finished a major overhaul of that last week....check it out because it's finished (for now!).....Instead, I think my lack of blogging has been more a result of my contributions in the form of writing through several other outlets. I've still been writing a monthly piece for Audacity magazine, keeping up with articles on Ragged Edge and commenting frequently, and beoming a more active member of several disability (and increasingly-psychology-related) list serves. Of course, there's no problem here, since writing for me is my main method of advocacy and expression at the time. But I do miss a compilation of my thoughts..right now they are scattered all over the place! Also, I received the last push of inspiration I needed from a recent article in Audacity about the sad finding of so many abandoned blogs-especially related to those focusing on disability topics, which mine does frequently:-) So with all that...I decided that I didn't really need ONE hot topic to return to blogging..but instead would combine that motivation and just start writing again, here in my own forum. I'm glad you've stopped by-whether you are new or a return visitor. Feel free to leave comments at any time...I like those!
Glad to be back and have a great day:-)
Love,
Kara
