I have had a hankering to write, but found myself a bit self-conscious. The truth of the matter is I owe you my very gracious readers an apology. Awhile ago, I gave you my word that I would always try to give you only my best work, in this I have failed. I’ve been of late feeling a tad like a pig wearing lipstick, a pink toto and a Lilly Pulitzer bow tie, when all along I know that I am the Prize winning Boar and yet I find I still want to wear the bow tie.
Nelson Mandela, so elegantly stated in his 1994 inaugural address:
“As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others “
And to that end, I have renewed my commitment and my contract to write The Preppy Chronicles for another year.
Don’t put that much pressure on yourself. I find my best posts are those written without much pre-planning. I think we all just do our best to write when we can. But that said, glad to see you are sticking around our fair Blogville!
Why thank y’all. What I understand now is… I have found the medium that I like and found my voice in that medium, as well as, an audience. If I was to continue to publish, I can not take it as lightly or if you will as just some hobby.
I’am very pleased that you will continue.
While understanding your convictions about standards when it comes to publishing the blog, I’m hoping you can give yourself enough wiggle-room to allow your fans continued opportunities to read it, without constraints making it impossible to publish. We love your high standards Bumby, but perhaps a skosh less if we never get to read you.
Sending you a smile,
tp
Thank you Princess. Life is a bit messy, so I have a very good feeling that there will always be quite a lot of wiggling going on. My commitment is that the posts will not be so sloppy in construction, not content.
Thank y’all again.
Always, Bumby
