Well, my appearance here has been spotty to say the least. Off and on, I am drawn to releasing my thoughts to a mute audience. Is that the draw? Or is it that other audiences seem to just politely tolerate listening anymore?
In looking way back at the inception of this endeavor, the former name of this blog seemed kitch and cute, granted it still is a bit of that, but with less offense possible. Admittedly, I am a child of The South. My family migrated to the US in the 1600s, were quite prosperous, and made a name for themselves. However, they did so on the backs of enslaved humans. And as abhorrent and evil as that is, I do not want my little writings here to harken back to, nor draw any energy from those times, hence the removal of 'Dixie' in my blog title.
I also did not, however, want to start anew and delete all the old content here because I feel that my evolution as an expat in The Middle East is an interesting note.
So I start fresh today, and hope to bring some new insights and glimpses into a much more settled and wisened home in Kuwait.
Peace
