why we’re here

I’ve toyed with the idea of starting a website for several years. I actually began this one in 2012 but abandoned it almost immediately. Now, 8 years later, we’re in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic and I find myself with a lot of extra time.

So I decided to dust off i feel strongly and give it another shot. Which led me to the all important question – what should I write about?

With so much media, and so many voices and opinions, it often seems to me that we spend a lot of our time shouting and deriding each other. In some ways it feels like we have never been more divided and more distant from each other.

My intent is that this will be a place for less combative dialogue and more tolerant ideas. It doesn’t mean things won’t be weighty, it just means that kindness is more important to me these days than winning an argument.

Welcome to i feel strongly. I hope you enjoy it.
