A New Adventure

You may have noticed I’ve gradually expanded the blog to include more areas of my life.  Almost five years ago when I started the Diva Knitting blog, I was hesitant to include anything but knitting.  It can be scary (and sometimes imprudent)  to put your life out there for anyone in the world to read.  So for the most part, I’ve been pretty selective about what I share.  Over time the internet and social networking has changed along with the people who use it.  It is now more acceptable and even expected to share one’s life online whether it be through a blog, Facebook or other social outlets.  Social networking allows real people to join in online communities and grow, connect and bond over shared interests.  Most people have multiple and varied interests though most craft blogs tend to focus on one topic in particular.  Some people maintain multiple blogs for different topics, but for me it just works better to have one.  Personally, I like a blog that allows me to experience more than just one area of someone’s life.  When you begin to feel like you “know” someone over time it’s only natural to have an interest in their life outside of knitting, spinning, sewing etc.  Plus it can be difficult to tell a story without letting at least some other topics come up since life doesn’t generally happen in a neat and separate way (at least mine doesn’t).  Categorizing posts allows my readers to choose whether they want to tune in any given day.  To that end, you’ll notice I’ve recently begun posting about yoga.  At some point I’ll share all the background but for now I’ll just go right to my announcement.  I’ve decided to undertake yoga teacher training.  I’ve been accepted to Baptiste bootcamp in June and will be doing additional training locally throughout the summer.  I’m very excited about the whole process and will be sharing my adventure along the way.  Of course, there will always be knitting, sewing, crafting, recipes, etc…I’m just adding yet one more thing to the mix!
