I hear and I forget
I see and I remember
I do and I understand
Why Journal/ Log?
- In order to reflect.
The absence of reflection is the absence of
thinking and the lack of growth
Why Blog?
- Speech is fleeting; I forget
- Email is not very dynamic; it is largely a short-lived back and forth between two people for a specific & narrow purpose.
- It is a way to reach a broader audience; it creates a
community around a topic. The community can be
passive or active in the blog but they are part of a
conversation for the writer and readers which is
dynamic (support) and also accountable (feedback).
Why Stuck in the Middle With You?
-To share my experiences of "Raising Adolescents"
-To normalize the experience of "Raising Adolescents" by
sharing perspective and published research
-Because I live "Raising Adolescents" at work and at home.
-Because I love to write
Thank you for doing this. You are motivating me to start blogging again too. You have reminded why we do this. For me, it's about reflection on my craft. We get so busy in our day to day lives that we don't stop and THINK about what we are doing. Are we being effective? Is this coaching model working? What ARE my values in what I'm doing? These are things blogging helps me articulate. Time to get going with it!
