Why I’ve Revived This Blog

A number of years ago I was at a crossroads and I found writing a blog was very helpful. Therapeutic, if you like. Blogs help me think out loud.

I find myself in a very different place than I was back then. I’m happy, married, have a house and a dog. And I live in Devon.

I still like thinking out loud.

“Small Revolutions” was a motif I found, and still find powerful.

It’s also a book I’d like to explore and write.

Small Revolutions is about making change happen. But it doesn’t need to be scary or full of big decisions. Change always happens a bit at a time, it’s just that we don;t see it until it gets to its tipping point.

So I’m using this blog to explore my changing/evolving whilst consciously exploring the principles which make change happen a bit at a time.

I found this quote, and it feels like it should be here too.

“What would you like to do if money were no object? … Because if you say that getting the money is the most important thing, you’ll spend your life completely wasting your time. You’ll be doing things you don’t like doing in order to go on living, that is, to go on doing things you don’t like doing. Which is stupid! Better to have a short life that is full of what you like doing, than a long life spent in a miserable way.” (Do You Do It, or Does It Do You? Alan Watts)

I want to be a published writer. I want a book(s) to my name and I want that book to help people.

Putting “Small Revolutions” into practise, it seems to me the most logical thing is to a) start here and now, b) in way that I can control, and c) start doing it a little bit at a time.

And I suppose this is the story of how I am doing it…
