Does Your Blog Have It’s Own Personality?

Beach Notes by Guest Writer Suzie Cheel

When I was walking on the beach last Friday, I asked Des if he thought blogs had their own personalities.

Because my blog was not happy. I had been for weeks talking about getting a theme that was less cantankerous, than the one I had been using. Blog heard this I think and went into total meltdown. I really must watch the words I use!

Des commented that he didn’t know why I had kept this theme for so long!

I can be stubborn and I was still searching for the perfect design. Well I am an artist and my NLP style is strongly visual so that was natural for me to focus on the look. I won’t be doing that again in the near future as this limits the amount of content that my blog receives. That doesn’t make blog too happy as the comments dwindle and subscriptions subside.

I then wondered what I had done to attract a very broken blog, just before Liz’s Blog Showcase too. The law of attraction was matching my not so positive vibes!

The personality of The Abundance Highway aka Law of Attraction in Action definitely is inspirational. I can see why it broke:( It wasn’t being fed it’s inspirational daily diet. Clearly what was needed was a theme was that was functional as well as looking good.

So does your blog have it’s own personality?

Are You Staying on Track?

Are you Staying on Track?

Compartments of My Life                         

Walking on the beach on Friday, I noticed the pattern made by a fisherman’s truck at sunrise. The close up looks like my life right now. Too many compartments! Spreading myself too thin.

Do you sometimes look at all the compartments in your life and wonder how they relate to one another. I have many exciting possibilities in my life right now. The challenge is to achieve simplicity, not be overwhelmed by complexity.

Getting on TrackI then looked  at the bigger picture the trucks tyres had made. So that was another challenging image.

Where am I heading? How well am I staying on track?

Beside the tyre tracks were a line of footprints.

To get on the pathway to freedom and success what I need to do each day is to set myself a simple daily path, put one foot in front of the other,celebrate each small win along the way and share that each day with my readers.

Then I will be living my purpose: Something I got clarity on back in May

Step By Step

I make a difference by inspiring others and empowering people to live lives full of joy, creativity and freedom.

I have this sitting on the computer screen. Today I will print this out and put this around the house, on the cover of my "imitation" Moleskin,and in the car. this will keep me focused and keep my vibes high.

Having a focus and a path mapped out each day, in line with my purpose will allow me to harmonize the compartments of my life and business.

Catch the Moment

Catch the Moment

Sometimes an moment arises that can create joy, open up a business opportunity, sometimes even change our perception. We can take the moment and embrace it or we can say no not today.

Catching this amazing sunrise on Thursday morning was an instance of this.

Walking on the beach early that morning, I nearly missed the magic moment. We had gone to the beach early thinking we would see a sunrise. We were a little too early so we thought, next time, We walked away from Rainbow Bay  towards Greenmount. I turned around before we headed aroung the rocks and saw the golden light of the sun glistening on top of the clouds. Des said did I want to go back? yes I said. As I saw the red of the sun begin to peep above the horizon, I thought  ” Catch the Moment”, this will be my Beach Note this week. I took this photo and then a series which I am thinking I will turn into a slide show with words, maybe even an e-book.

This then became a positive story I used to illustrate positive vibes on Friday Morning. If  hadn’t turned around at that precise moment  would have missed the joy that seeing the sun rise brings, it warms my soul.

Sunrise


Can you think of time where you have caught the moment and it has been an inspiration or moment of change?

Getting in the Groove

Getting in the Groove

Walking on the beach yesterday I thought what will I write for Beach Notes this week. I then remembered I mentioned before I went to Vancouver that I was going to write about Getting In the Groove. This is probably very timely as since I went to Vancouver I have got out of the blogging groove.

I thought I would just whip up a post a day while I was away, I know I mentioned to Liz I would do photo posting.

I started well for first 3 days and then when I got into the course there was so much going on and to do, plus homework that blogging did not happen. When I returned my body, and my ego I think decided to slow me down. I did try to figure out what was going on and then succumbed to slowing down. It has been a time to integrate the knowledge I have acquired, work out my new business plan and develop a workable fun blogging plan.

The words from song Tub Thumping performed by Chumbawamba came to mind

I get knocked down, but I get up again
You’re never gonna keep me down
I get knocked down, but I get up again
You’re never gonna keep me down
I get knocked down, but I get up again
You’re never gonna keep me down
I get knocked down, but I get up again
You’re never gonna keep me down

(Note: the YouTube is audio plus photo only)


That was how I felt yesterday, it was time to get up and move forward. This is a good song to dance to. Dancing and singing raise my vibes and get the creative juices flowing as well as being one way I get into the groove.

Today I am planning out my blog posts for the week for both The Abundance Highway and my Art Blog. My plan is to spend the first 2 hours before I go beach walking blog posting, so I take the pressure off getting a daily post done. I want to start doing 2 posts a day to Abundance Highway and develop some rhythm to my blog. A bit like Liz has here.

What’s one thing do you do to get into the groove?

« go back — keep looking »
