Starting Over

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!!
