Hello to the vast space that is the internet. Let&#8217;s have a little story time, shall we? Last year was a big year for me personally. There were a lot of big changes to my life ( you can read the 3 measly posts before this one for more context). I really felt like I was called to write. But write about what? I&#8217;m pretty basic. A mid-thirties millennial living in the mid-west. Then, life got hard. It turns out, moving across the country is incredibly difficult. It&#8217;s difficult to lose your community. I felt alone. This internet space that I created with such great intentions faded away into obscurity. Like, I didn&#8217;t even think about it any more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, something happened. The clouds parted, and the gray season I was in started to clear. I started to feel like my human self again. I got healthier. I started exercising. I looked around and saw my people &#8211; my community whom I had prayed for, and who the Lord so graciously brought me. And then, the little whispers started again. <a href=\"https:\/\/intentionallywell.org\/2020\/04\/02\/why-i-blog\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Write<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I logged on to my old site, and lo and behold, it was still here. I still had my domain name. So, here I am writing&#8230;we will see what happens next.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi. Hello to the vast space that is the internet.
