Fare thee well, ATX!Whole new batch of people in my life who have no idea I let it ALL HANG OUT online—the good and the bad— in a distinctly OVER SHARE fashion.
Ive been careful to r-e-m-o-v-e my email signature (blog, twitter, facebook, instagram, you tube, book) from messages I’ve sent to the Tornado’s school & my new “friends.”
A few reasons including the fact the first thing they need to “see” about me is NOT a video of my yammers whilst wearing a sports bra.
They dont know I do this!I never thought to do this when she started kindergarten.
It wasnt a big deal—Id only be reminded moms in her class read MizFit when they’d ask me a fitness question—yet sometimes it felt…wonky.
They knew my innermost frazzlings—-and I barely knew them at all.
It’s NOT that I long to hide anything.
The pseudonyms I use (Tornado for my daughter and Ren(aissance) man for my husband) were born more out of silliness than being secretive & mainly originated from my old, mama-blog.
Because, unfortunately, so much of our lives— blogger or not—-is out there if people really want to DIG.
As a result, I approach blogging the way I write fiction:
The more perfectly you capture someone with your words the less likely they are to see themselves in your work.
Yet all *that* said: I entertained the notion of reigning it in a tad until we were perfectly & completely settled.
A CLEANSE of sorts—but of the words variety.
Then I reminded myself of the premise of this blog: a play on the word MISFIT (and not Miss. Fit).
Im transparent.
I have no filter.
This is my place to get healthy & stay healthy. MIND & BODY.
I let it all.hang.out.
The OAKLANDgood & the OAKLANDbad and *all* my failings as a person who’s just trying to live the best life she can.
Im home!Which brings me in my wandering, circuitous way back to you.
Is your blog hidden from family/offline-friends?What subject (broad or specific) would you blog about if you possessed complete anonymity?What are the titles of YOUR blog posts we will never read?please to consider this your ‘heads up warning’ there will, indeed, be a post coming titled: I SHED A TEAR WHEN I RECEIVED THE HEAD LICE LETTER once I tease-out the fitness/healthy living tie-in. thank you.
