Warning to Readers: A New Direction for Schaefer’s Blog

When I first created this blog, I was just coming out of a season of intense and enriching mentorship. I had recently graduated from the Air Force Academy where I had been surrounded by great teachers and officers, and through my local church I had made relationships with several quality individuals that poured their lives into me. So, it was only natural that most of my content would be focused on the various lessons I had learned throughout that time.

Since then, I’ve moved into a new season of my life. And though I’ve still maintained close contact with many mentors, my interests and passions have taken new, unexpected twists. That’s life. As many of you have noticed, I’ve posted very little content over the past several months. Though much of this has had to do with my crazy schedule as a C-17 pilot, the other has to do with a lack of passion for the subject matter I’d originally built my blog around.

Lessons in Skilled Living implies just that – each blog post imparting a life lesson. Well, for now I’m out of lessons, at least, I am not that interested in writing about them.

What am I interested in writing about? War, coffee, books, strategy, Christianity, technology, philosophy, the Middle East, John Boyd, education, movies, the outdoors, flying, Africa, being a dad/husband, music, wine, entrepreneurship, economics, foreign policy….just to name a few.

For now, I want to learn and digest some life lessons before I try to pass any more on.

So, I give you fair warning that I’m changing content mid-stream. I know this is taboo in the blogging world, but not too many people read this thing anyways, so I think it’ll be okay.

One other thing – my posts are going to be a lot shorter and more frequent.

I’m going to quasi-model my blog after Ben Casnocha’s. He’s a brilliant guy who, though I don’t always agree with him, keeps me coming back to his blog more than any other, simply because it captures my imagination and intellectual curiosity on a daily basis.  If my blog can be half as interesting and engaging as his, I’ll have succeeded.

Thanks for your time, please feel free to let me know what you’d like me to write about more and I’ll consider it. To the loyal readers of Schaefer’s blog, thanks for sticking with me as I grow. You constantly remind me why blogging is worthwhile.
