Join me at "P.S Just a Thought"

I find it ironic that the last post I shared here was to let you all know that I had started a new blog which was more Bible-focused. That was all the way back in 2015. I did start one, but it didn't last past one post.

So now I'm back, to let you know that I started a Substack. What's that, you say? It's an online publication medium, and it's a great community for writers and those who want to read—there's all kinds of topics and substacks you can follow and support.

I'm not sure if any of you, my old readers, are still following blogs on Blogspot. But if you remember, you know I used to write a lot, over 10 years ago. Some of the friends and acquaintances I've made in the last half a decade actually don't know that writing is as much a part of what I love as music. I don't blame them—I haven't written much for years.

My first post on P.S. Just a Thought explores what happened to the writer inside, and why I'm back. Here's a sneak peek:

"The writer in me has lain all but dormant for half a decade. What do I say when I climb out of the hole again? Hello world? Wow, it's bright out here? Because putting pen to paper feels like breathing for the first time in a long time.

I used to keep a blog. It was where I shared a lot of vulnerable thoughts and lessons about life and walking with Jesus. It was a place to write while I harboured secret ambitions about writing books. It was where I felt I could express and fulfil some part of who I am—the part that feels drawn to communicate to a reader in the comfort of their own couch, or be a calming voice in the noise of their commute.

My husband recently asked me what makes me feel alive...."
