I’ll admit, typing my tongue-in-cheek title, has put Bey’s refrain firmly stuck in my head:

(I was always pretty good at earworming myself…)

But however happy I am to have an excuse to embed a diva-licious video into a post–and I am always happy to have an excuse and to do so–let’s take a moment for some real talk before I proceed any further:

ain’t NO ONE need to bow down to me. For any reason. I’m just plain, little ol’ me.

But little ol’ me is undertaking a bit of a “redesigning my life” project here in the latter half of 2024. And part of that is an experiment at picking up the metaphorical pen again here on JALC.

I miss writing, I really do. So I’m gonna try to write again!

(Didja miss me?)

In order to set myself up for success, I’m creating a low bar for this first re-entry: one post a week. For the sake of being consistent and trustworthy, I’ll put those up on Tuesdays.

Anything beyond that is, at this point, anyone’s guess. Yes, I have dreams and fantasies about getting ALL kinds of re-inspired and having the words and posts just flooding out of me so I start putting up content lots more frequently than on Tuesdays. But past attempts and failures to re-ignite the blogging candle have taught me I want to go a bit more slowly this time. So: a promise for Tuesdays, and then I’ll see how it goes.
