Some days I feel like the internet has fallen short of it’s promise. 

I grow tired of the click-bait, the scrolling, the “photo-shopped” images, the endless blogs that are really thinly disguised ads for some sort of affiliate marketing, the entire political scene, “social” media which seems to have left people more lonely than ever.

And rather than complain about it, I want to create something different. 

An old-school blog.  Without affiliate links and disclaimers about how I’ll be paid if a reader clicks and makes a purchase. Without the click bait and images. 

Maybe I’ll add a few pictures here and there if they seem like they will add something important, but they are not going to be front and center.

I want this to be a blog with words.  My own words, not ones written by the computer.  With thoughts.  My own thoughts. 

A blog written because I am interested in the things I am writing about, not because I am hoping for the most readers. 

I feel the calling to do my own little part to create something different.  To do my part for the world. 

I write this a week after the 2024 elections and it seems to me that the world needs a lot right now. 

I need a lot right now.  Some peace.  Some healing.  A way to focus my thoughts.
