Change of Topic

Not sure why I left such a negative post up so long with nothing to follow. Burgundy Bistro has since closed and now the location hosts a new restaurant which I’ve not really looked into. Mind you, they didn’t close just because of my little blog critique because… um, nobody reads this blog. Proves they were awful and didn’t know how to bring in people to enjoy the food they claimed they offered.

So, now what do I write about? I really enjoy writing, but I have to say I don’t really know how to do it publicly. I have a ton of stuff I’ve written, but I’m afraid to share it. How do I make an exciting blog that people will read without really sharing what I write? What’s the point of that? My logical mind says. Why are you wasting your time? Write what you write… Change your blog name if Gluten-Free-Foodie seems too boring to you.

I want to write about a lot of topics. I need to come up with a name for a new blog to place all these things I’m interested in. Traveling, dreaming about traveling, adventures, dreaming about adventures, eating and dreaming about eating all the things I can no longer eat and what I can eat and cooking and baking... I want to write about how I wish I could be Anthony Bourdain, traveling and eating whatever I want, trying new things. I also want to complain and vent about things like the fact that I can’t be Anthony Bourdain trying strange foods in an alley in an off the beaten path kind of country. You can’t travel somewhere not knowing the language and expect to communicate the inquiry of whether a yummy looking piece of whatever has gluten in it or was there any way it was cross contaminated with anything resembling wheat, rye, barley. Etc. And, I don’t want to be HIGH MAINTENANCE! I miss the days when I didn’t know about gluten and I carried on like the rest of the low maintenance eating world, eating whatever the hell I pleased and a lot of it.

I want to take pictures and write about taking pictures. I want to write about working out, hiit and tabata and running and being strong. And, I guess I’ll at times want to write about the challenges of having Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis. Just when I think I have my body under control it sends me a big F-U that I don’t notice until I’m already way messed up. And then, I have to start again at figuring out what will make me feel like my SELF again!

I also want a place to write about my frustrations and confusion regarding what I’m supposed to do with my life. And, write whatever else I fancy on top of all these topics because I’m not two dimensional, I’m not just someone who can’t eat gluten or someone who has an annoying autoimmune disease or just a chick who likes to eat and cook and stay healthy... I’m so many someone’s in one that on paper I’d look like I have multiple personalities or maybe in conversation I’d seem unfocused, if I were to talk to you long enough which I won’t because I don’t really do that. I don’t really know how to share my interests in person with people. Personality flaw, I guess. Or not, I mean, I do share, but I don’t lay it all out there – relationships should take work and digging and unfolding. Now I’m off topic of this topic of what is my topic to be? Enough.

For some reason Wendy’s Wiles came to mind as a new blog name, but that’s not really nice. Though it kind of sounds like me, not the devious part, but I guess if you’re a writer or an artist you do want to entice and draw in. I don’t mind being disarming. Hmm… I don’t think I’m going to think about it much more. Instead I’m just going to open myself up and go for it – like a true adventurer (faking it).
