It's not that I have stopped writing, it's that I have been writing elsewhere recently. That's all I can say really, as it has been all very private and has to stay that way to protect other people. However, it's 2011 and I'm back blogging.
Saying goodbye to 2010 wasn't tricky. Although despite some personal challenges I am now the proud owner of a qualification as a hypnotherapist and NLP practitioner. Allowing my clients even more help when they need it. It has been fascinating studying the mind with my superb teacher Barbara Ford Hammond and I have the learning bug more than ever now.
However, perhaps it's January blues but there is a huge feeling of needing an even greater understanding of my existence on this planet. I have decided go in search of "it" and due to my huge health kick last year, I have no vices to give up, I have decided my resolution will be to gain rather than to subtract from my life.
I am not sure what "it" is yet but I have a pretty good idea of what "it" isn't. It isn't for example just a simple search for happiness, or love even. I think I am experienced enough to know that happiness has many forms for each individual and it's a matter of perspective after all.
What I want is a sense of complete calm and knowing firmly cemented in my soul and although that feeling has drifted in and out I plan to find a way to make it stay for the rest of my life.
A few weeks ago, an advert for a Charity Trek to Nepal and the Himalayas in 2012 screamed at me. I met a wonderful Indian woman once who told me that the Himalayas were the back bone of life. Apparently one day, you are walking through difficult forests where you really cant see where you are going, whilst on another day you can see beautiful calm waters and spectacular views, just like life. I will be visiting temples and remote villages with a group of women and Prof Winston who's charity we are raising money for. I least I say I will as I have made the first step and put my name down.
But that's a long way off and for now apart from working on my fitness more than ever, I have to ask myself where else do I find "it". Perhaps I should put my life in the hands of the Universe?
