I am forgetful, we are all forgetful. This morning I left my mobile phone at home and it will be a day to get by without it. Fortunately I am connected at work so it’s not as big a deal as it could be. This does provide an interesting throwback Thursday though. It takes me back to a time when I didn’t worry about having a phone and I wasn’t hyper connected to everyone and everything everywhere I went. Nevertheless its still frustrating to forget something that has become a part of ones everyday life. Yes I know this is a first world problem and there are more serious things to be worried about. My phone gets the day off from me…I guess our gadgets need a break too.

Two Things
I think there are two things I would say to a fellow blogger at any level.
1. Keep on blogging…if you stop you might not start back again. Fake it until you make it when necessary. But chill out if you need to.
2. Be the star of your own blog. Your blog is about the world from your point of view. Let that show to the world.
Friends be the blogger you can be even when life is tough.
Fear
Fear is a powerful emotion. We all are afraid of something or another. There are times when we need to retreat from it. Fear can be crippling to some. Now there are times when we need to face our fears. Being fearless is a challenging thing because it requires a lot of bravery and willingness to try something new, something different. Comfort in the familiar means you can just chill out and not have to worry.
Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1
No one wants their lives in chaos but to make our world better sometimes you have to get a little crazy. I have fears, we all have fears, if we say any different then we would be kidding ourselves. Be strong and courageous because its what you feel like you should do but if you are afraid then never be afraid to admit it.
I think fearless is having fears but jumping anyway. Taylor Swift
Face your fears with courage, strength, faith, love good people!
Time Does March On
Yesterday can feel like last week. Last week can feel like last month, last month can feel like six months ago, a year can feel like an eternity. When it comes to time it is indeed hard to believe how fast it goes. We are never standing still, always moving, always changing. Time does march on and we are always on the move. So when you think about it we are all time travelers.
What You Can Expect From My Posts
I plan on posting several times a day. Things inspire me all the time and as a blogger I want to share them with the world. Now I realize that could mean some post fatigue and I will try to not overwhelm you. My posts have a positive spirit about them but on occasion I will vent frustrations and question things. My blogging is about chronicling and curating the things in my life that are sacred to me at the same time doing so in a not too serious way. I don’t keep my blog in a box as it comes to when I post. Life is meant to blog about it.
Thank you WordPress community for accepting me and welcoming me here. I appreciate it. Keep on blogging!
My Experience With WordPress So Far
Friends, my time with WordPress has been a very positive experience. There are a lot of people doing creative and original things there. A lot of full featured posts with in-depth writing and sharing of ideas and experiences. Thanks to all who are following me here, I appreciate each of you.
What I have discovered is that as a social platform its not the greatest, well Tumblr has its shortcomings too but that’s beside the point. This is a platform for all ages but its a place where you will find a more mature audience.
The site gives you loads of customizing options along with lots of ways to connect with others across the web. At its heart its a content management system where you control what you want to post. One can cross-post to Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr.
It is not as easy as Tumblr so you have to do some homework and lots of experimenting to make things work the way you want.
It has a dashboard like feature where you can read blogs you are following and it has a built in commentary system. You can’t do anything anonymously there which is something I like very much. They put a lot into keeping spam to a minimum.
As I discover more, I will share with you what I find. I will admit I like it a lot and I need to figure out how to use both sites to expand my social reach and to be more engaged with fellow bloggers.
I advise to go ahead and claim the name you want there. If things go south quick with Tumblr you want to be ready to pick up your posting elsewhere. Hopefully your followers will migrate with you.
