    Blog “Identity Crisis” Prompts Deeper Questions

    by Lois Flowers January 12, 2021
    by Lois Flowers

    The week I turned 50, my blog had an identity crisis. I’ll spare you the techie details; let’s just say that, between the original problem and the mistakes I made trying to fix it, I wasted a great deal of time I could have spent doing any number of more productive things.

    Last August, shortly after we took Lilly to college for the first time and began adjusting to life with a slightly emptier nest, my blog started acting up. It wasn’t a huge deal in the grand scheme of life. People who left comments couldn’t see them unless they were using …
