hi there.

There’s a lot riding on this particular post, at least to me. I’ve been tinkering with this site for a minute, the perfectionist in me coming in HOT. Once the initial excitement of it wore off, I started thinking about the way actual people are going to read my actual words. I’ve never shared anything I’ve written with anyone- it seemed too personal and too vulnerable. There was also the fact that each of my sisters are phenomenal writers, eloquent and intelligent and clever. They have always been able to put into words what I could not. What could I possibly have to offer?

I started thinking about the way that a lot of people in my inner circle probably won’t like what I have to say. Or rather, they’ll be surprised that I’m saying it. But I guess that’s the nature of writing. It’s vulnerable and raw and there is always going to be someone who doesn’t like it. Being wide-open comes at a bit of a cost, I think, but I will take the same approach to this as I have with everything else in my life: I’ll cross that bridge when I get to it.

So here I am on a Friday night. Sitting at my kitchen table with a glass of riesling to my right and a plethora of “what ifs” to my left. I hope you like The Little Bit as much as I enjoyed creating it.

To jumping into something new,

Lo
