Checking In!

I am writing this post with an apology. I have been more than delinquent with my writing. I can't figure out why either. It's something I love to do. I truly enjoy sharing ideas and connecting with other SLPs. I am always honored when someone comments and shares. It is a joyful reminder of why I write.
I have wondered: 

Am getting old? Am I just too tired? Do I feel I have nothing important to share? Does anyone really have an interest in reading my posts? Is what I'm sharing relevant? 
Are blogs passé?

These are compelling questions for which I have no answers.  I do know that I have taken a hiatus from many things I enjoy: reading, journaling, creating art, IG, materials creation and more. I am careening toward an empty nest and I also wonder if that has gotten the best of me. It's so hard for me to picture myself as anything other than a Mom of young children. I well up with emotion even thinking about it!

I have been honored to be counted among many talented and creative bloggers and I want to have staying power, so I want to use this platform to express myself. I think I simply need a little motivation as well as to reestablish my blogging habit. I would be very interested in hearing from you, my readers; what would you like me to share, moreover, would you like me to continue to share? What kind of are posts are most appealing (strategies, inspiration, therapy ideas, surviving the empty nest)? 

If you would be willing to take a moment and comment it would make my day! I appreciate all of you and eagerly await hearing your voices! 

I will be back with Thoughts from the Back Porch, my summer series. 

Thank you,
Annie
