Renewal

This post is my entry for April’s IndieWeb Carnival being hosted by Jamie Thingelstad.

In typical fashion, I’ve waited until the very end of the month to participate in the IndieWeb Carnival. I missed the last two months and have a partially formed post for February’s topic that I’ll eventually get out the door. Somewhat ironically, the reason I haven’t posted much lately has to do with renewal, and the reason I’m posting now is another form of renewal.

Over the past few months, I’ve navigated a new step in my career. While I’m still at the same company, in the same data analytics space, it’s a new role building a new team—yet still tied to my previous team and department. It’s unique and exciting and has brought various emotions and thoughts on how to succeed by leveraging the past as a catalyst for the future. Renewal shows up not only in my new role but in how a fresh start can sharpen focus and energize the next leg of the journey. If you’re feeling stuck, sometimes renewal can clear the path—more so than changing course or reverting to something that once worked (though those can be right moves depending on the context).

As I’ve taken this step, I find my thinking renewed. I’m updating perspectives from a new vantage point. Unsurprisingly, this renewal extends beyond work into other areas of life and topics that spark my urge to write. While I’ve never lacked ideas, this renewed mindset feels like a creative catalyst. As always, time is the most limited resource—but it’s less about making more and more about focusing on what matters most.
