Hi there! Welcome to my blog! I love, love, love talking about all things metaphysics, writing, and blogging. My hope is that you leave here feeling much better than when you came. It's great to see you!
I’D LOVE TO…
If I learn nothing else from blogging about my quest to be something great, it’s that the quest is the best part. I can’t stress to you how much my anxiety has dissipated on this path to a mysterious future since I’ve embraced the journey (slowly but surely of course). I’ve put absolute faith in the fact that the projects on my plate will one day empower and inspire people to realize their own greatness, and for that reason I’m no longer filled with anxiety the moment I get home from work. I’m not longer gripped by fear when I think about my purpose in life, and whether or not I’m fulfilling it. I’m alive, I’m awake, and I am present. And most of the time, I am really, really hungry.
That being said, I thought I’d update you on everything! Lately I’ve been writing a bunch of introspective blog posts about my experiences with the world. And while those are cool too, I’m ready to write a few posts on the awesomeness that has been going on behind the scenes.
First off, I created a couple of new pictures in my Art section. Nothing fancy, nothing awe-inspiring, but I’m proud of them. I’m sort of dabbling in the combination of words/pictures to create a feeling. Sort of like those memes that get burned into your brain on a daily basis, but I want them to be a bit weirder. And more artsy maybe. Something to make you think.
Secondly, I added a new Mursa Pie to the videos section. It’s the last one in the bunch, and it’s on a slice of my life in Australia. It’s such a small sliver of the fun I had there, and I’m slowly but surely compiling more, but I wanted to let you know it was there in case you wanted to see some of the shenanigans that went on.
Thirdly, publicity. Lately I’ve been really into guest posting opportunities and interview features. The other day le blog and I were featured in something called the Heart of Blogging Series on Blogger Effect. Blogger Effect is a new platform for bloggers that is still in beta, but they were looking for bloggers to feature for their blog series so of course I jumped at the opportunity. After all, it’s just like my Passion Series!
Oddly enough, that very same week, an old colleague of mine introduced me to one of the ladies from LoveFabu.com, a site for women to discuss everything from love and death, to relationships and spirituality. They were seeking contributors, and after a brief introduction via email, I knocked out a 500 word piece on business school rejection and voila! Guest post nailed. It hasn’t been posted yet because they are still building out their site, but when it is you will surely be the first to know. Additionally, I’m working ANOTHER guest post for a great blog I discovered through Linkedin called A Caffeinated Brunette. Is that not the most awesome title for a blog? That is totally a blog I should have created. At any rate, it’s run by a gal who writes about travel, recipes, and any other pretty thought that enters her mind. She was looking for guest posters the other day and I offered one up that I think might fit for her “If you ever” series. It’s kind of like “If you ever want to eat a great pizza in LA” sort of stuff, so I’ll keep you posted if it all works out.
Lastly, I’m developing a website. Okay, I’m hiring someone to develop a website for me. And they’re almost done. I haven’t really talked about it because I’m waiting for the wisdom of hindsight to set in, if you know what I mean. A lot of times I talk about projects that just don’t happen, and I really want to talk about this one after I’ve made some actual progress, so I can share what I’ve learned. It’s the project I’m hoping (fingers crossed) that really takes off because I feel the message behind it is so important. I’ll tell you ALL about it when it’s launched!
Well, that’s the latest. You heard it here first. I hope you have a magnatastical weekend (magnanimous + fantastical if you didn’t guess). It’s Friday, and it’s FALL! Talk about two great ‘F’ words (although I’m sure we can think of at least one more that gives us a warm, fuzzy feeling.) Time to whip out the pumpkin ales and scary movies. I’m hoping I get to go to Septemberfest tomorrow with the BF, but we’ll see how that pans out.
Till next time, peace, pitstops, and pumpkin everything…
