  19. First off I want to say wonderful blog! I had a quick question which I’d like to
    ask if you do not mind. I was curious to find out how you center yourself and clear your
    mind prior to writing. I’ve had a tough time clearing my mind in getting my thoughts
    out. I truly do enjoy writing however it just seems like the first 10 to
    15 minutes tend to be wasted just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or hints?
    Many thanks!

    1. Hi Arletha

      I’ve always been incredibly focused, where if I need to do something, I get down to it and do not stop until it is finished.

      My mother told me that I’d take a piece of paper and a pencil, as a young child, and I’d draw hundreds of the small, identical flowers in neat rows until the page was completely full (never diagnosed as OCD but I definitely suspect something is going on in there / my brain :-)). It’s weird but it works for me, so I’ve never messed with it…simply embraced it.

      I’m not sure that can be taught or even if you’d want to learn it, as it can be challenging, having a brain that never shuts down. Even driving down the road, I literally take note of and read every road sign, advertisement board and shop name, as I go along (weird as I said, though it can be handy at times when I’m looking for something random yet specific, LOL).

      Anyway, I digress, all I really want to convey is that 10 to 15 minutes delay in getting yourself centred is really not that much. Don’t fight it, embrace the process you need, to get down to doing what you need to.

      Best of luck.

  20. Nice post. I was checking continuously this blog and
    I’m impressed! Very helpful info specially the last part 🙂 I
    care for such info much. I was looking for this certain info
    for a long time. Thank you and best of luck.

  21. I all the time used to study piece of writing in news papers but now as I am a user
    of web so from now I am using net for content, thanks to web.

  22. This post is worth everyone’s attention. Where can I find out more?

  23. Heya i am for the first time here. I came across this board and I
    find It truly useful & it helped me out a lot. I hope to give something back
    and aid others like you helped me.

  24. There’s certainly a lot to know about this issue.
    I love all the points you have made.

  25. Great beat ! I wish to apprentice even as you
    amend your website, how can i subscribe for a blog
    web site? The account aided me a acceptable deal. I were tiny
    bit familiar of this your broadcast offered shiny clear idea

  26. Good post. I learn something new and challenging on websites I stumbleupon everyday.
    It’s always exciting to read through content from other writers and use something from other web sites.

  27. Hi! I know this is somewhat off-topic however I had to ask.
    Does building a well-established website such as yours
    take a lot of work? I am completely new to operating a blog however I do write in my journal
    everyday. I’d like to start a blog so I can easily
    share my own experience and views online. Please let me know if you
    have any kind of ideas or tips for new aspiring blog owners.
    Appreciate it!

    1. Dino, it does take an incredible amount of effort, learning and patience.

      Please know that, typically, writing in a journal is not the kind of thing that you should be putting in a blog, unless your target audience is your family and friends who’d, perhaps, be the only ones interested in where you went and what you did on which day. Unless, it is as a restaurant critic, travel blog or the like.

      And, when it comes to personal journeys and struggles, those are only helpful to others who are going through the same thing, though it may be difficult getting your musings and insights in front of the right audience to appreciate it.

      Having said all that, if it is something that you are drawn to doing / something you feel you simply ‘have to’ do, then just go for it. Our angels guide us to where we are most needed / our real reason for being and sometimes we need to heed their gentle nudges.

      Whatever your path…I wish you well exploring it

  28. May I simply say what a comfort to discover someone who genuinely understands
    what they’re talking about on the net. You actually realize how to bring
    an issue to light and make it important. More and more people have to read this and understand this side
    of the story. I was surprised that you aren’t more popular because you
    definitely possess the gift.
