Yesterday’s post was a real stretch for me. Baring my soul to anyone who might stumble across this site. Hmm. Am I ashamed that I love deeply? No. Do I feel exposed and vulnerable? Of course, and that’s fine, too. What does that have to do with the purpose of this site? Just about everything. I’m not selling anything so I don’t have to worry about people’s reactions, even assuming anyone actually visits here. In one sense the purpose is to affirm my deepest values by being open and honest about them. Then if anyone does visit they’ll be contacting an open and authentic human being, with no social masks in between.
In a recent post Adam Kayce suggests:
“1. Take a moment (or two) and reflect on your patterns: your life patterns, your work patterns, the habitual ways you go about doing things, the rhythms you’ve settled into as a result of living in the way you’ve been living.
2. Now, get in touch with your heart. Connect with your heart’s sense of knowing (using the Remembrance is a great tool for this), and ask to be shown the place where some evolution would be good for you and your growth.”
Stepping out of my comfort zone and publishing this afternoon’s post was a major breakthrough for me. Thanks, Adam.
Thanks, Ellen.
I don’t know if you’ve seen Alexander Kjerulf’s site, the Chief Happiness Officer, over at http://positivesharing.com/ … his focus is in business, but I bet you’d get a kick out of it.
Good luck, and have fun with WordPress!
