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
