Greetings to the online world of the written word. Today I've not only made the decision to start leading a more simple life, I'm actually doing something about it. Finally! No more waiting, thinking about it, talking myself out of it, nothing! Game on!
I have to admit that I do have my reservations as I've never fashioned myself as a writer, author or otherwise. Other than a very occasional letter to a friend or family member (pre-email days) my writing consisted of the least that was required to get a passing grade in high school. That's all that I did and most of the time I got the passing grade. I write like I talk. It worked then and it will work now. You can grade me if you want and point out grammer or spelling mistakes but please be warned that I didn't care much for that in high school. Pretty safe to say that I don't really care for it now. My belief is that a grammer correction by a reader says a lot more about the reader than it does about the person posting the error.
What is my plan, you ask? It is this: to follow the suggestions of a few bloggers I read. Everett Bogue has an enjoyable read at Far Beyond The Stars. He leads a minimalist life where ever he happens to be. I admire what he is doing and would love to follow in his footsteps starting about a month ago. He's the only one I'm going to mention right now as I've been reading his post much more than the others and I will only recommend what I know.
I'm sure I'll add more to this list later but here is my Simple Life - Defined.
What do I call a simple life?
1. Work online from where I am.
2. Be detached from material things.
3. Meditate daily - at least once a day.
4. Be happy and shine that happiness on others.
5. Change diet to Raw only (80% to start) - Vegan too.
6. Practice healing energy modalities. Reiki, Magnified Healing, Healing Touch, etc.
7. Enjoy each day because I love what I do.
8. No stresssing about income, others actions, politics, religion, etc.
9. Expect no less than to be positive at all times
10. Love and be loved.
My plan is document my travels down this road giving you a glimpse of where I am on any certain day and where I'd like to be. I will share my struggles, successes, failed attempts (if any) and thoughts.
I look forward to hearing your thoughts, ideas and questions. Now let's get going!
Peace
