Serenity Now!

Sometimes when we set goals, we get so focused that it becomes difficult to see beyond our self-created tunnel vision. It’s easy to just keep plowing through, determined to make something work when, quite possibly, we are on the wrong path to begin with. I’m not one to easily give up and I’m not saying that’s what I’m doing now, but I am beginning to wonder.

“Let go and let God.” That’s what they say in recovery. Or, “…let Buddha”, or the universe or whatever you want to call your higher power. In recovery my biggest challenge has been to surrender - to realize that there is something ‘out there’ bigger than myself. In short, to quit letting my ego get in the way of, in Zen-speak, the Tao - The Way.

The reason I’m babbling on like this about recovery and spirituality, is that I’m re-thinking this blog. I know it’s just a little thing. Just one more blog in an ocean of blogs, but to me this has been huge. For many personal reasons which I won’t get into here (you’re welcome). It’s not that I’m considering quitting blogging. I’m just considering a different venue for my voice.

I’m active in the Writer’s Digest community and have asked for, and received, feedback on this fledgling of mine. Between that and problems I’ve been having technically, I’m rethinking this particular forum, which is Today.com. This is not to say I’ll quit blogging. I don’t want to do that. I’m just considering a different venue.

I’ve been well received here. Out of approximately 1,900 active bloggers at Today.com, I’ve gone from ranking 598 my first day to 106 as of this morning. I owe everyone who’s reading this a huge thank you for that! So here it is:

This is something I’m considering. I’m so grateful to everyone who has taken the time to read my blog and I want to retain that support. If I decide to move elsewhere, I’ll definately let you know before I take that step. In the meantime, I’ll be putting what I’ve learned in my recovery to use, and give this some thought before I just leap. Stay in touch and I’ll keep you posted.

Thank you,
Kim
