Positive changes can take many forms. The one that I really have noticed a big impact from is….blogging! I have had a blog for a while, but didn’t really get into it until last June. Since then, it has really given me a platform to connect with others and explore my thoughts in greater depth.
I have found that at the end of the day, I have quite a few things rattling around in my head. Being able to take some time to be creative and answer the “Daily Writing Prompts” really helps me clear my mind so that I can focus better. I also feel like I have really improved my writing technique as well as my technological competence in general and website building skills more specifically.
