Okay, guys. As some of you may have noticed, I’ve been struggling of late with my focus for this author blog of mine. My numerous competing passions have been pulling at me, and it’s probably shown.
Sometimes, my posts have been inspirational. Sometimes, they’ve been military/foriegn policy in nature. Sometimes, they’ve had something to do with Eastern Philosophy or living in the moment.
SO, to cut down on this lack of focus, I’ve made a decision to restart an old blog and start a new one.
Now, there will be three options for you to choose from.
1) On this current site (stanrmitchell.com) that you are already subscribed to, I will continue to post about things that motivate you, inspire you, or make you laugh. My efforts are paying off, and I intend to inspire, drag, or shame as many of you as possible into your own dreams. So, if you need the motivation or inspiration, or just want to keep up with me as I continue to pursue my author career with everything that I have, there’s no need to do anything. Please, stick around. I love having each and every one of you.
2). If you care about military matters, I am relaunching Marine Watch, a blog on American foreign policy, national security, and all things Marine Corps. If this is something you’re interested in, please go there and subscribe.
3) Finally, I’m launching a new blog on one of my other lifelong passions: martial arts and Eastern Philosophy. My search for the way will be about martial arts, physical fitness, and ESPECIALLY everything that goes with Eastern philosophy — mindfulness, living in the moment, and eastern philosophy. You can read about why I’m launching the site here, so if you’re interested, please subscribe for email alerts and join me there.
I hope having more specific blogs will lead to greater focus and community for each of the sites. Thanks for everyone’s patience, support, and friendship. I hope to catch you all at one of the sites — or even multiple ones.
Keep the faith,
Stan R. Mitchell

How many blogs does one man need?!

It’s not the size of the man in the fight, it’s the number of blogs he has.
Wait. That’s not how the saying goes, although in today’s social media world, maybe it should…
Speaking of social media, did you see this?

Yeah I saw that. I don’t care about Kanye or Paul so their collaboration or people’s stupidity over it doesn’t boil my blood.

Well Stan, I completely understand your discussion. That is why I write
two blog, to separate my thoughts on different subjects. One blog is
http://wordsforvets.blogspot.com and is a Marine/ military/ politics site and the
other blog http://ecurbruce.blogspot.com is a blog about life. Now I sure you have notice how cleverly got both my blogs into your blog. I have no shame.
Good job Stan.

Promote away, Bruce! I turned those two sites into hot links, so people could check them out. I wasn’t aware of the personal one, so I just went to subscribe to it.
Love hearing your words of wisdom.

Oh, and on your wordsforvet blog, Bruce? You might want to put a subscribe tab on the right. I struggled to find it at the bottom on that one. (And I should be subscribed to both now!)
Thanks!
