Moving

I think it's safe to say that the the way I used to write my blog has lost its purpose for me. It used to be intentionally aimless so that I could practice creative writing and sort of report on what was going on to a not-so-sharply-defined group consisting mostly (in my mind) of my cousins when I was home in Sweden, and my friends back home when I was in Canada.

I think that I still thrive on needing to write to collect and clarify my thoughts, but since I rather visibly went though an emotional crisis during the 2010-2011 cusp I spent more and more time just  channeling the sorrow of my loss (and as a very wise person wrote, "What they don't tell you about loss is that it hits you in waves. Over and over again. Because it is on those days when you almost forget, when the pain seems like it has finally started to fade, that it comes rushing back down on you and hits like the first time. "). To work on those emotions I saw a therapist and started more with journaling privately, which did just what I needed it to.  And so, less got written here.

But knowing myself, I usually can get my engagement going with a bit of a drastic overhaul, so I'm going to take a whack at writing again. But this time, I'm focusing more on presenting my research and my doodle (=creative) projects. For a long time I had kind of an antagonistic relationship with my research, but now it's so much a part of who I am and want to be that I feel very blessed and fortunate to be allowed to do what I do, and maybe do myself the favour of logging those various processes here.

So (as is probably evident) I'm archiving Variations in the key of Cb , and will look upon it fondly as my collection/elephant graveyard of experiential treasures.

At my namesake blog it's more likely from now on that you'll find conundrums regarding Social Sustainability research, the odd illustration job, and sometimes the awful Pun-guins (a plastic menagierie residing in my office window at work).

Until next time, I am faithfully yours, and still answer to /Cb.
