It...Thank you to whoever posted this comment today. It made me laugh and has given me the motivation to write again. I have spoken about how this journey is one of extreme highs and lows. I usually wait until I have the high after the low before I write. I feel that because I proclaim to have some insights into this journey that I have to always write when I have had breakthroughs and not in the midst of breakdowns.<BR/><BR/>I see now that this is just me wanting to look good to those who are reading it and isn't very honest. I have promised an honest account of this journey and this is not what I have been doing. This is not to make what I have been doing wrong, it is to acknowledge that there is a gap between the purpose I said that this blog would serve and what it is actually serving.<BR/><BR/>The impact of this pretence on me is that I feel under pressure to write only when I've had a high. The impact on my reader is that they are getting a skewed account of the journey (as it occurs to me). What I can promise from here on in is to write when I'm in breakdown as well as when I've broken through something. In that way this blog will be more authentic.<BR/><BR/>So thank you to the person for leaving that comment. It's woken me up!Margaret Dempseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17385395565359693331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8830933917349183001.post-31346347803358485372008-11-25T03:38:00.000-08:002008-11-25T03:38:00.000-08:00Hey Margaret!!
