Note: I’m re-directing this blog to a new URL. We’re moving from likeabirdblog.com to blog.kendrakantor.com It’s a permanent re-direct so I’m not expecting any problems but there will probably be some down time this weekend. You should not need to update your feeds if you read in a reader or email but you can update if you want, here’s the new rss feed: http://blog.kendrakantor.com/feed
About a month ago, I had some feedback that it was confusing that my blog was one name and my business the other. I agreed. I’d been having that thought for a while, actually since I created kendrakantor.com I’d been worried about what to do with the blog. But I didn’t want to do anything permanent or scary so I just left it and hoped it wouldn’t be a big deal.
But it suddenly started holding me back in moving forward in my business. I felt like I had two separate parts trying to work together and just…not. But still I hesitated.
I got the new url all ready and designed and still, I hesitated.
Why? I asked myself. Why am I dragging my feet?
Because I have an attachment to Like a Bird. I created Like a Bird and bought the url in 2009. It was the year I went to college, and then dropped out. It was the year I was living on my own, 1000 miles from home. It was the year my depression started to decline. And Like a Bird was my safe place, it was my baby and my haven when I didn’t know where to turn. It was the only thing that wasn’t spiraling out of control.
And so I’m attached to this space. Or the name rather, because this space won’t really be changing.
I’m sitting here asking myself what I’m afraid of exactly. And I’m not sure of the answer. I guess I’m worried about loosing this name and never being able to use it again. I have great plans in my future (like 10 years from now) for Like a Bird but I’m reminding myself that it’s okay to let it go for now. This url, this name, isn’t being lost forever I’m just moving in another direction for a bit to get where I need to go.
Like a bird…
I am wandering, I am free, I am falling…I still sing.
Like a bird…
I am watchful, I am between here and there, I am up and down.
Like a bird…
I get caught up in the wind, I beat my wings, I go left then right and after, I struggle, I find my way,
