It's been a while since I posted. My family welcomed our second child, a healthy baby boy on August 3rd. Much of my absence from writing can be attributed to the responsibilities of preparing for a new baby, and then actually caring for a new baby. It's been a great time period, filled with many joys and many challenges and it is now, thankfully starting to settle back to what feels like every day life again.
In addition to that, I'm working on some writing that is actually much bigger than the blog. It is an ambitious project, unlike anything I have ever worked on. I'm excited to share more details on this, in the near future. It is martial arts related, and it is writing related, but that's all I feel comfortable saying at the present time.
Finally, I got hit (from a blog point of view) with a pretty serious case of writers block. I haven't had much to say that felt compelling to me recently. I want to write about So-San, but I'm still finding my voice on that form. Being the longest form in the Chang-hon set, there are many things I'd like to say, but saying them in a concise voice has been eluding me. I'd also like to address U-Nam some more. When I wrote my post on U-Nam, I had just learned it, and didn't really have it down. I would eventually end up teaching it to about 40 members of our org, and that gave me a great perspective on what the art meant for others. I'd also love to do a Q&A type of post, but as there are so many things I am reluctant to opine on, I often find that I come away with no answerable questions when I solicit for them.
So I am not gone, the blog is not dead...please stay tuned for future content.
