personal advice

I have been hesitant to commit to regular blogging because of one word.

Answers.

Since I have no handy capsules of educated advice to dispense, I feel unqualified to blog. I have no expertise on a singular topic. I don’t even have an opinion on several topics. I am woefully inadequate on the share answers and advice on the world’s problems.

And as an aspiring author, I often live in a world where I create more problems than I solve. In order to solve a particularly knotty plot problem, I can just modify my character’s background or their arsenal of solutions.

I have yet to succeed at solving the real life problems I have in my life and in the lives of others.

Smell the flowersBecoming a Tour Guide

I am not qualified to sit behind the information desk. But I can take you on the tour and smell the flowers with you.

I might not know the name of the cross street or the nearest landmark. But I am happy to marvel at the scenery with you. I forget the dates and times of the next show. But I’ll walk you there and we can talk along the way.

In truth, I am an expert at nothing. But I dabble in much.

I know very little. But I desire to learn much.

And I need advice more than I can give it.

But I can offer no answers. I barely understand the questions. I can only offer my view from my road, pointing out landmarks you might have seen. Or ones I suggest you avoid–speaking from personal experience.

Is it answers are you are looking for?

Then the information desk is over there. They know the answer to everything. But I am taking out a tour in just a few minutes. You are welcome to join us. The more the merrier.
