Thoughts

 In 2006 I was in exactly the same place I am now.  Well, not exactly the same place.  I was using blogger to write up some ideas I had rumbling around in my head.  That was followed by a crazy time in Jo'burg, corporate experience and years of coaching and facilitation work.

All of this culminated in my current involvement as a partner in the Semco Style South Africa business as well as playing a role with the global SSI team as well.  What a journey!

And then I woke up this morning with an urge to strip it all down and just write down a few thoughts like I did 17 years ago.
No images, no SEO, no links, no specific audience in mind.  Raw, basic, fun.  Write because I like writing and because I am a dreamer that does.  Write because I can then take charge of my thoughts, emotions and self-actualisation.

Because I have to.  No one else will do this on my behalf.  If I don't prioritise my presence on earth and distill these seemingly unimportant ideas, no-one will.  So if you stumble upon this piece of writing I hope it helps you dig in and unearth the gold inside yourself. 

I am an inspirationalist at the end of the day.  No-one can take that away from me.  Inspiration, enthusiasm, and passion is how I operate on a daily basis.  I have struggled to let these shine because the world tells me to bottle it in, get serious, and 'grow up'.
Well, I have realised that I can't.  It has to start here with unedited thoughts that get hammered out and that is open and transparent.

Everything everywhere is so edited and sterile.  This is about detaching and getting in touch with my inner reality.  Reflection on  my faith, relationships, meaning, purpose, calling, destiny, pain, suffering, victory, REALITY!

Slow it down.  Take a pause.  Dig deep and refresh so that I can really use all of who I am to shine, influence, support and bless.

So here I am in my early 40's (maybe some early signs of a midlife transition (not crisis, hehe)) bringing it back to basics and just writing.  Do it just because I can and not adhering to any rules.  Let's see where this goes.
