Why I'm Starting To Write Online (Again)
I made a commitment to do a personal experiment. I want to explore being a digital writer, to expand my skills, and grow my capacity to help others. During my exploration, my goal is to multiply the sphere of individuals that I can help, in a deeper way.
Here are a few other reasons why:
To find my voice by writing consistently.
To discover the topics that resonate and vibrate with my audience.
To build an tribe that wants to learn more from me, that I want to learn more from too, so that I can help them. I've been offline in practice in the field of back and joint pain, and injuries for over 20 years, and it's time for me to help more people. Over the next 30 days, I plan on writing about health related topics that I hope you will find helpful.
Join me on this adventure—and let me know if you have any questions along the way!
I'm excited to start sharing what I know online.
