Turning Over a New Leaf

Turning over a new leaf.

After re-reading some of my web log posts over the weekend, I came away feeling deeply unsatisfied. In fact, so much so, I had a sleepless night.

What, you ask, would disturb you that much about what you’ve written and syndicated? Good question. Aside from a few outright mistakes (that have been corrected) – I stand by what I’ve written. But it’s the tone, the tone of what I’m writing doesn’t accurately reflect my beliefs and views frequently. It’s more a preaching and critical approach than I use in “real life.” That’s not really my intent.

After thinking about this pretty intently, I think the key to this is how one approaches each subject, are you working to find a solution or simply point out the problem? I’m embarrassed to observe that I’m pointing out the problem but offer few solutions. That’s not helpful and has little value-add. In my opinion. As an example, I believe that the last Presidential election was decided just because of this issue, Kerry was against Bush. Not sufficient, one needs to stand up strongly and communicate clearly what they believe.

So, from this moment forward, I pledge to you loyal readers, that I will not comment upon a problem without also offering a solution. That I will write more about what I’m for than what I’m against, and that I’ll strive to keep the tone positive and constructive (and humorous if I can manage.) What do I ask of you? If you see that critic emerging without answers, please bring me to task…it may take a little reminder from time to time.

Now, back to our regularly scheduled postings.
