WOW this blogging thing is really a GAS

At Home and at work, getting back into the swing of things and excited about the year ahead.

Here I sit at my laptop working on tomorrows radio show and I remembered I have to write my blog!!

I promised myself I would do this each day for at least 30 days. It's not something I am used to so I will have to discipline myself to do it and change my habit of always talking about other peoples stories and share more of mine.

How do I work out what I will talk about on radio you may wonder? I always talk about what's happening in my life. It is the best way to do it because I don't have to come up with a theme I just talk about what people are talking about around me. Or I have a few shows all lined up as I pre-record other peoples stories.

But you know what I find so amazing, as I present other peoples life stories each week on radio, their message is alway so pertinent to my life at the time. The synchronicity of life always blows me away.

I LOVE the way life shows up these days. One synchronistic event after the other,  always something for me to learn, remember or share with others. Being in the flow of life as it takes me down stream is just about the best fun I can have.

But then the dreaded habitual limiting thoughts hit me and BANG, it throws me right out of the flow and scrambling to climb back into the boat, which is beings pushed down stream at the rate of knots towards my desires.

The bank account is bare again. How did I spend all that money that seemed to be there just a short time ago. Where does it go and why can't I get a handle on this money storey which says to me, one day abundant the next day broke...

I will have to FIX that this year, I think to myself, until my inner being reminds me I can NOT fix anything I am focusing on in a negative way, for the very act of my focus on the problem exaggerates the vibration which created it.

Oh Right I forget... NO FIXING this year. More enjoying and knowing all is well and NOT believing my negative thoughts about my limits.

WOW this blogging thing is really a GAS!

 Im lovin it, getting my thoughts on the page each day, it's a nice reminder to listen to my common sense and my inner being.

You should try it, or is our internet already too clogged with people using it like a diary?

Until tomorrow back to organising tomorrows radio show, we will play some of the chats I've had with amazing people in 2013, and of course the fabulous Dr Brene Brown who talks so eloquently about connection, begin out there in the arena exposed for all to see and Darling GREATLY.

Setting in the stage for 2014 sharing my stories.

As we explode into another year many of us feel we have to make this year better than the last. Why? Wasn't last year good? Maybe it was and maybe it wasn't but the urge to move forward and to improve our lives in some way keeps us reaching for more and moving in a direction of self-improvement.

So what do you want this year? Do you have a new years wish or resolution? Maybe you had something you wanted and didn't achieve last year, so this year seems like the perfect platform in which to achieve it.

For me, my intention is to be more exposed, vulnerable, I want to to speak more about myself, my life and share my thoughts with others in a forum such as this, a blog or on facebook. 

WHY??

I lead a pretty amazing existence and meet some of the most fascinating people and have a very rich inner world of communion with my higher-self or inner-being, but it's so much more my nature to find out and talk about others.  I never really speak about myself, even when people ask me about my life, I find myself saying , "Oh life is great, but tell me about you."

I am not sure what keeps me quite when it come to talking about myself, I have found over the years when interviewing people or guiding people to a healthier and happier life, that it is our personal stories which help us feel more connected and drive us forward on this journey we call our life. 

We LOVE to hear other peoples stories and how they live. This is why TV soaps or movies and biographies are so popular, even when we make it all up, we still strive to know about other people.

I was once told by a researcher friend, the reason most people love to talk endlessly about themselves is because when we do we produce more dopamine, a neurotransmitter hormone which is responsible for good feelings in our body, and again I wondered why I don't do it more, but instead always seek and speak of other peoples adventures.

I guess I just love to know about who we are and what makes us tick. 

So this blog is part of my new years resolution. 'Im gonna yak more about me and share my thoughts and chats with my inner-being and some of the amazing things that happen to me on a daily basis in the hope that my stories will help you love your story more.'

When I mentioned my new years intent to my family, I had a huge backlash about how dangerous facebook is, ( it's big brother watching us and exposing our every move) and how no one wants to hear about who we are and what we do with our lives. They said "Why do people post photos of themselves on the Internet anyway?.."

 I guess it really hit a nerve with them about feeling exposed and the right to live a private life. It must have brought up fears about being vulnerable, people would see who we really are when we are not being fabulous, all-together or perfect. But the truth is, we all see each others achilles heal because it is just too hard to hide. 

Many people feel too vulnerable putting their thoughts out into the world, or sharing their hopes, dreams and fears. It can be really scary to think when we lay it out there for all to witness we may be  judged harshly by others. 

 But I truly believe sharing our stories and our inner most selves with each other is what makes the world go around, it helps us all feel more connected and alive. And I am all for that!

So here's to a juicy, vulnerable, exposed and delicious 2014

More to come... KS xx
