2007 was quite the year. So much so that it’s almost too intense to look back and reflect on it. But it’s a worthwhile exercise, especially in how it relates to the vast changes this blog has undertaken.

The biggest change (and challenge) has been the adjustment of focus. In fact, figuring out my niche has always been a challenge – one I’ve “given up” on. I realized at some point in 2007 that I couldn’t niche this blog to one specific subject because it’s very much a reflection of me and where I’m at in life. And since I’m not one-dimensional (as far as I know!) it’s impossible for this blog to be that way. As much as I recognize the value in having a niche and ultra-focused blog, this is not it. Nor will it ever be. And so 2007 saw a radical shift in subject matter.
