Starting Over
Something interesting happened over the past few weeks.
1) A friend in England posted an article about a woman who gave up shopping (for anything except essential foods) for a year and wrote about it. I commented that I am always impressed with these people who have done things for a year and that I could never do that.
2) Two friends on Facebook (this could be the subject of a blog on its own, but in this case, they are two people I know both on and off Facebook!) recently posted the following.
These two events got me thinking. I don't really have a practice that I do regularly. I often sometimes occasionally meditate. I sometimes exercise. I sometimes walk. I sometimes bake... etc., etc., etc., - You get the picture! But I don't do anything regularly nor anything that I would consider "spiritual". I responded to the post "No, but I would like to." That is when I remembered that years ago (2009 to be exact!) I started a blog but didn't do anything with it (two posts and then gave up!)
So - this is my attempt to start again, create my own "spiritual" practice", and try do something every day for a year. It seems appropriate to begin now as my birthday is coming up next week. I didn't understand back then how this all works and I am not sure I know now either - but here goes!
If you join along for the ride - welcome! If you want to engage - great! If you want to scroll on by that is fine too! I am doing this for me - setting a goal - practicing my writing. All my random thoughts and musings! Let's see what happens!!
Good luck!
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
ReplyDeleteThanks Keren!!
DeleteI'm definitely along for the ride. I'm a nosy old cow and I love to know what's happening with old friends, and some perfect strangers tbh. Good luck with this. One tip - don't be strict about it having to be every day. Blog for a year or more, when it takes your fancy. xxx
ReplyDeleteThanks Rachel - I will message you as I have a ton of questions!! I wanted to set a goal for myself and follow through so gonna try to blog every day and see what happens! Thanks xx
