I had a feeling it was today, but I wasn’t sure. Didn’t I start this blog around a year ago? I looked back, and sure enough, the first post was September 14, 2024. It’s been a year.

What is a year? 365 days, 52 weeks, 12 months, a spiral journey around a star around a black hole around infinity?

I’ve started and stopped so many projects—blogs, Snapchats, Tumblrs, and the like. This time, I wanted to do something that would stick. That was Chapter One.

And it stuck.

A year later, I’ve kept at it. My goal was to post at least once a week, and I kept fairly close to that. A few people have read these words, and I’m hoping a few more will join for the next leg of the journey.

A lot has happened in these last 365 days. It’s always mind-blowing to compare and contrast the self now vs. a year ago… that feeling of being the same person but being so different. It has been a year of growth, discovery, another ring of bark around the pith… that core, curing… the cœur… mi corazón…

I look forward to Chapter Two.
