Hello lovely readers,
Welcome to my freshly updated blog, I Sing My Soul!
This space has been in a bit of limbo since I decided that I would not primarily be writing about my adventures in Izmir, Turkey (where I live). At first though, I didn’t really know what I would write about.
About a year ago, I changed the title simply to my first and middle name, Ingrid Claire, because all I knew for sure was that I’d be writing things personal in nature. I also obtained the corresponding domain name at that time. I wrote about the creative process, novel-writing, pain and sadness, and I also started using the space to share my poetry.
Over the past year, though I haven’t posted heavily, I’ve noticed that I most enjoy using this space to post poetry and other creative endeavors, and sometimes to share personal reflections. So, that is what my blog will focus on! Once this became clear in my mind, the new title immediately came to me, as it is also the title of a poem I wrote before moving to Izmir. You can find that poem and more thoughts at my updated About page.
You may continue to see some changes on the site as I get things settled, but for now, welcome again to I Sing My Soul! I hope to produce and post more consistent (weekly) poetry and other content but sometimes I hit writer’s block for a few weeks months so sorry in advance when/if that happens! It’s a joy to hear from readers, especially if you are moved or encouraged by something I write, so please don’t be shy to make your presence known. 🙂

I love it! I’ll be with you on the blog journey!
Thanks, Tammy! ❤
Hey, beautiful friend. I love your blog’s new look, title, and vision.
Thanks, Lariss. I’ve known that the space hasn’t really felt right or like “me” for a while, and when I saw you post your blog update, it inspired me to take some time for mine! 🙂 So, thanks!
Have I ever told you I love the name you chose for this new season of your blog. It’s perfect!
thanks, michael! i didn’t write list this year the way i hoped i would, but i feel
it in me more authentically for the upcoming season. i have so much stuff to process and turn into poetry! 🙂
This first year and a half in Thailand, I have hardly been able to write prose (compared to what I used to, anyway). All that comes out is poetry! It is different, but I am grateful for poetry as a writing outlet during this season.
same goes for me in turkey – definitely first year or two but overall it’s continued to be more poetry than prose that i wanna write
