Let’s see if I can remember how all of this goes….
Start with a “hello”
Insert a picture that hopefully somewhat relates to my blog post
and now proceed to the guts of the post.
So hi everyone!! 
I have to admit it’s been a VERY long time so I’m probably going to be out of practice so please be gentle.
Have you ever loved something so much that you immersed yourself so completely in it that it became something that you no longer loved. That was me in respect to the SQL Community in 2014 and most of 2015.
Now don’t get me wrong… I ABSOLUTELY LOVE my #SQLFamily but I allowed blogging, presenting, conferences, MVP status, etc. to basically take over my life.
I decided to take some much needed time off from “it all” to allow myself to fall back in love with doing things like writing posts, presenting, geeking out with others about the awesomeness that is SQL Server.
I wanted a clean slate and a fresh start so I opted out of the MVP program (for now) and while it has been a fantastic 3 years with the award I wanted to ensure that my contributions were because I wanted to make them vs. feeling obligated to present x number of times or blog x number of times or do anything x number of times.
I’ve been working on some very cool projects over the last year or so and have lots of fun things to blog about… I’m not going to worry about ‘flexing’ in my posts and having crazy advanced technical content but it’s going to get back to the basics of where I started blogging which was…. “huh… that’s pretty cool…. I wonder if anyone else knows about this”
Anyways I’m back on Tweetdeck (assuming that’s still what you cool kids use… if not please update me)… so if you feel like it… say “hello”
I was going to try and use a new hashtag #SQLove but apparently it’s already in use and I don’t recommend clicking it with safe-search off hahaha
Thanks!!
Enjoy!! (Follow me on Twitter: @ColinStasiuk)
