Tag Clouds…and their infinite wisdom

I’m not sure what it says about me that at it’s current state, my newly added tag cloud has only two giant words.

Chris Hardwick and Crafting.

I guess, since I’m writing this post, that those two words are likely to get even bigger. The purpose of this blog was not necessarily to talk solely about my celebrity crush and crafting. Chris Hardwick does not make up a large chunk of my life–side note, crafting does–generally speaking.

The intention of this blog is to tie all aspects of my life together–crafting, writing, cooking and weird, randomness. So far…well, it’s been hit and miss.

Lately, I’ve had trouble remembering where I put things, what I’m doing, etc. so it’s not surprising that I’ve had a hard time find a balance in my life.  Calendar balancing alone is not getting the job done. There has to be someone out there with a process that would work for me.

What do you do to keep track and balance your life?

Focusing on…?

I ‘ve had this page for well over six months now and it has sat empty. An empty representation of me.  Truthfully, if it wasn’t for the yearly promises generally made in the form of resolutions at New Year’s, it might still be empty.

Since I do already have two of my own blogs and another in which I collaborate focusing on three prominent aspects of my life–writing, cooking and crafting–I struggled with the concept of this blog. I already write about everything that seems to encompass the best parts of me elsewhere. What, then, should this page be about? What’s left of me?

I’m not sure I know the answer to that last question, but I do know that I don’t have to keep this separate and I don’t intend to. What I do want to avoid is allowing this page to become a vehicle for re-posting. The day that my reposts out number new posts is the day I need to cash it in, I think.

So keep me honest…D
