I’m back.
That’s the gist of my 2020 plans for CH.
My work has ebbed and flowed at various times since I launched the blog back in July 2013. In this new phase, however, I have more clarity than ever before. So my use of the common “2020 Vision” slogan actually reflects the clarity of my vision for my life, career, and mission.
This doesn’t mean I and my work won’t continue to evolve. After all, the only guarantee in life is that things change.
I did a lot in the past decade that I won’t even try to list here. (If you’ve followed me for awhile, you already know anyway.) Amid all of it, my fire for Colorism Healing never died, even when I had to scale back. Even through periods where I went silent on social media, I thought about Colorism Healing every single day.
Admittedly, some of those days were filled with doubt and fear and anxiety, and exhaustion, which only partially explains some of my silence.
But just as many of those days were filled with diligent work, like executing an art exhibition halfway across the country, writing a major national grant application, designing new products, creating and teaching a brand new college course on colorism, and connecting with and mentoring others who want to make a difference.
The biggest change, then, is that I’m returning to a state of being more visible and more vocal. Rather than merely working, I will also be sharing.
May seem like a trivial difference, but for me it feels big. Quite simply, I just miss creating and sharing content on a regular basis with the general internet audience.
Fortunately, everything I’ve learned, skills I’ve gained, my growth and increased maturity over the years will make this “easier” and more enjoyable than it’s ever been.
I recognize that this message is not super detailed as far as exactly what I’ll post or the exact projects I’m bringing this year or the precise dates and schedules of events, etc. I’ve tried that route, and that’s part of the clarity and the change too: Following what feels right in authentic alignment with the core of who I am. The detailed schedules, rigid timelines of what and when to post can be helpful. I learned that for me they were not.
So I’m starting off the new decade organically creating and sharing as it feels right. Blame it on all the Gemini energy dominating my astrological chart, or blame it on a lack of discipline. Lol.
Either way, I’m already on track to create and share more in this decade than I did in the last. And it feels… great.
Happy NY!
Sincerely,
Sarah
