For the last couple of years, this blog's had daily topics. I did that to give it some focus and myself a framework to write on. After all, social media experts said: your blog is your platform! It must have a focus!
So I compromised and gave it one focus per weekday. And it worked, mostly. But last year, I started to feel preachy, expounding on my five topics as from a mountaintop to the desperate masses. YEESH. Who wants to be that guy?
OK, probably someone, but not me.
I spent most of December and January on a blog sabbatical (Winnie-the-Pooh raconteuses aside) to decide what I want Daily Pie to be. I wasn't willing to give it up. It began as a way to share my life, in bits, with family and friends and new internet pals. It was goofy and fairly honest and a means to connect with folks in a positive way. A nibble of pie every day.
And so it is again.
This year, I'll develop my author website. That'll be the place to focus on my chosen profession. Daily Pie, on the other hand, will be a place to share things that catch my eye and ear, mind and heart. Photos, conversations, articles, videos, thinks.
So drop in when you like and pull up a chair. Have a bite and a cuppa. Chat with your mouth full.
Let's have some fun.

I'll look forward to seeing your author website, but I also enjoy the daily pie. In big slices!
Thanks, Amanda!
