In-Chelle-Igence is 2!

I pushed send on my first In-Chelle-Igence blog post two years ago today. I’ve always used writing to make sense of my world, and it mostly consisted of journaling and a few original songs, over the years, but I had no place to put it. Having compiled a stack of short essays, I finally decided, why not just put it on the internet? I’ve been through a thing or two in my years, and if something I’ve learned can help someone I’ve never met, I’m happy to share it. 

I’ve written about midlife topics like empty nests, dating and finding new versions of yourself as life changes. I’ve written about health topics like movement, hydration and the importance of sleep. I’ve written about biohacking, bucket lists, frozen shoulder and alcohol. Not many people have read the blog, mostly my mom. Sometimes I feel a bit like the title character in Julie and Julia, where she is blogging and having a moment of self-doubt, questioning….and literally types “are you listening? Whoever you are.” So for all of the “whoever you are’s” out there, I’m going to keep writing.  If my words can help even one person find a laugh, a resource, a shared experience or a tool to help them on this journey through life, then it’s worth it. So Happy Birthday In-Chelle-Igence. I can’t wait to see what you grow into.
