John is full of cold at the moment which I find hard to believe when we are living in this sub tropical apartment, not using the heating because it’s obviously coming up from the apartments below……. anyway we both got up in the night for a cup of tea and as usual we both got into a deep conversation this time about the daily stats on word press.ย I have to remind myself sometimes that I created this blog to offload a lot of sad poems and memories and maybe help some people along the way too. ย Not to become a numbers freak.
But I wanted to share with you my happiness when yesterday I had 204 views, 120 likes, and 70 comments. ย I think that shows a good balance, people are looking and actually reading what I have written, liking the content and in some cases taking the time to comment too. That is important to me, it’s not just a numbers game.
I have connected with some beautiful souls, I have learnt many things, I have sympathised, found and given empathy and felt saddened by people’s unhappiness and hardship.
When we went back to bed my brain was still buzzing so I continued reading my book Enlightenment Through the Path of Kundalini.I feel like I have become a jigsaw and all of the pieces are gradually being put back in their right places. I feel as if I am going back in time to that happy place when I was young without a care in the world.
I like I am finally finding the meaning to my existence. I feel like I should have a dramatic orchestra playing in the background LOL I am feeling dramatic.
Anyway, I finally went back to sleep and I had a dream. I could see clearly a website which looked so amazing it was really bright in colour. ย When I looked closer it was a new website that I had written about my life and spiritual awakening.
Now I have split my website in to two sites previously and it did not work for me. I flitted between the two basically putting the same posts on both of them . Not much point doing that and paying for the privilege too, so I cancelled the new site.
I am feeling slightly confused at the moment, I think the time may have come for me to write my life story ๐ฌ from childhood to now. It will be an interesting read for some. It’s excites me, it also scares me too ๐ณ
What do you think, should I do it on this site or should I create another site which would just be about my spiritual journey, or should I resist ?

Whoooa! Because I’m such a lazy person, it’d be better if it’s here. Hahah! But I’m pretty sure reading more about you would be enough a catch for me to just go to whatever new site (should you decide to) to read it. Good luck! ๐

Yes. But how you described me is long so lazy is appropriate, no? Hahah. Anyway, hope you do get to choose soon. I’m looking forward to it. ๐

I would like to see it on here. Perhaps you could do a weekly instalment and, much like waiting on our favourite soap to start, we could all check in and see what happened next in your life story ๐ Great news on the views and likes. I think that the reason why people like your writing is because you write for you and therefore it’s not pretentious – it’s true to you. ๐

Oh Beth I miss your posts so much, can’t wait to see more. That is actually very good advice, a weekly blog. That way I won’t become swamped by emotions. Thanks for that and come back soon ๐น

Would love to read your life story. If you look back I’ve my blog you will find the personal stories are actually my memoirs. Memoirs are life story but in slivers. It’s hard to write an autobiography because it must be factual. A memoir is simply as you remember it. You can start by writing a memory list and write your story from that list. You’ll find as you make this list it will trigger other memories. Good luck. I’ll be looking for your stories! ๐

I agree with all of the above, whether that’s helpful or not, I don’t know. I agree, you should stay, and writing weekly regarding your memoirs is brilliant. Simply because it gives an overview, it’s relatable, it’s you. Your stories about your mother and growing up and her antics are delightful, but it relates to you, the you we know and love. She’s a character and so are you. You have much to share and this is as much about you as anyone. That’s what I love about all the blogs here, different perspectives, ideals, thoughts, ways of looking at things, whether it’s an across the pond thing, or american or canadian or european, everyone has a taste of history, culture, life events that make them who they are. You are worth knowing! Please continue.

My blog has evolved over time and the gradual change feels natural and organic. When I want to write something that is very different from my blog posts I post it on twitter (such as the haiga for human rights campaigns). I prefer to have one blog personally and it sounds as if your life story will fit well with the blog you have now.

I too vote you stay with one blog, have it all in one place. That way, you (we also) don’t have to run around like headless chickens trying to keep up with both blogs, ๐

For me personally, I believe I would write the book separately and continue as you have been with this blog. Once the book is done, it isn’t hard to convert it to say a Kindle e-Book. But that is just my humble opinion as to how I would do it were it me writing a book about my life.

I started out with a few logs, Elaine, thinking to express different interests separately. Eventually, I just stayed with one blog,reflecting my current Truth, whatever that might be. Do what feels right for you, my dear. It’ll be a perfect expression of you! ๐ xoM

Stay here I think but would read it wherever you do it. This blog is totally you, that’s why I think keep here, maybe weekly instalments like suggested above. I’m excited for you and interested in how you will go about it. Maybe ask before you go to bed tonight and you might get the answer in another dream ๐๐

Oh I would love to read it. Maybe here only. You could give it a separate heading so that your short posts don’t stop. May be once you feel you are done with a short chapter, you could post it. As too long a post may not work for all readers
