It’s been quite a while since I’ve written, and you may wonder where in the world I’ve been.
That question has a 3-part answer, so here goes:
1. I put a lot of time into tinybuddha.com. If you haven’t followed me there, you may not realize how often I write and edit for that site. Some of my recent posts include:
- 10 Ways to Be the Person You Wanted to Be as a Kid
- 50 Peaceful Things
- 10 Happiness Tips for People Who Have Been Hurt
- 10 Ways to Have Peaceful, Loving Relationships
You can find my posts there twice a week. If you’d like to submit a guest post, you can read more about that here.
2. I am writing a book. One of my New Year’s resolutions was to write a book about making your dreams come true, and I have been working consistently since then. I’ve written 35,000 words so far, and I am 2/3 the way finished with the first draft. At some point in 2010, it will be available as an ebook, and possibly in print and audio formats, as well.
3. I am planning to take this site down in the near future. A friend of mine is designing a new site for me at lorideschene.com where I will write blogs of a more personal nature. (It’s taken a lot longer than I expected). I’ve been writing lengthy articles for a long time now; and while I love it, I’m excited to have a place to explore life as it affects me personally.
I feel I owe you, my readers, an apology for not transitioning away from this blog more smoothly. I have a list of excuses, but none of them matter. What matters is that I appreciate you, and I hope to make a difference with my writing in the future–my tinybuddha posts, my book(s) and maybe even the random musing I post on my new blog.
Happy Monday friends =)

Thank you Tess! I appreciate the offer of support, and I will be happy to take you up on that when I am ready to move forward with my book.
And thank you also Shea! I hope everything is going well in your world. =)
This post is more proof that simply because a blogger “appears” not to be blogging, this doesn’t mean that “work” isn’t going on. You have had a rich and creative full plate in the past few months, and all of the opportunities before you sound incredibly exciting. I will try to follow you wherever you go and am excited to see what greater things open up for you on this path of life.
Congratulations, Lori!
