Merry New Year to You!

January 1, 2009 by Guest Author 11 Comments

The week that just passed was a week of celebration, visiting with family and friends, old and new, feasting and fun for many. It was also a time for reflection about the year drawing to a close and planning for the year ahead โ€“ the year that begins with this day. I hope you had a positive week and took some time for rejuvenation and some time for yourself.

Thereโ€™s been a lot of talk in the blogosphere, on twitter and other platforms about what not to do, how to increase SEO, suggestions about what to write and how to write it and lots of advice. I hope in your time of reflection and planning you thought about your original intent with respect to your writing. Iโ€™d like to think you incorporate all you have learned but keep true to those intentions and continue writing in a genuine way that reflects what you really want to say.

I wish for you a peaceful and creative New Year.

    Hi,
    I enjoyed your blog. I get confused sometimes when everyone talks a jargon I don’t understand.
    When I write my blog, I write from life experience, that’s what I draw from.That’s what I have to share.
    If people can learn from the wisdom I’ve gained living life, that makes me happy!

    Carol,
    We learn a culture and a language by immersion. Keep bringing your wisdom to us in your words and we’ll remember how to talk again. At the same time what we’re saying will slowly start making sense.

    Please feel free to ask me. You’re not a stranger here. You’re a friend.

    Great thoughts! The “changes” of 2008 are helping us remember our core intentions. I’m looking forward to a 2009 filled with grace and ease.

    Before we publish anything we must think about it’s impact on others. What reaction are we trying to incite? The better we understand ourselves the more honest we can be when communicating with each other.

    Thanks Liz. We all appreciate your creativity.

    Karl,

    I agree, I think you may be alluding to writing for and knowing your audience? Important yes, I agree but important also to be true with regard to the genuine nature of your intent.

    Happy First Day!

    So true. Advice is always great, but remaining true to ourselves is even more important. Happy New Year!

    A new year and I hope it is a good one ahead for all and for you Liz.

    My writing is just pouring out on my blog still…I hope I can start making it a business this year and get paid for my efforts and ideas in the future.

    I appreciate all the assistance I have received from so many commenters on your blog and on Barbara”s Blogging without a blog. 2008 was a year of great learning, now I hope to make 2009 productive on all fronts.
    I am indebted to you too LIZ for the F5 button!…life just got so much better! Thank you again
    Happy, Happy New year!
