I decided to make a blog a while ago, but thinking it up and then actually getting round to doing it are two different things for me. I already made a blog for my trip to Sri Lanka last year, King Coconuts and Fireflies, but it seemed that that was for something more concrete than a general 'life' journey blog. I have a slight tendency to procrastinate, which I am trying to get rid of by learning to 'act' and 'do' now instead of tomorrow, to be proactive by investing in the kind of stuff that will grow dreams instead of in the kind of stuff that shrivels them up; to challenge myself by doing things outside of my comfort zone instead of just sitting in that cosy place with a cup of tea!
Part of this challenge is to do things like this - to expose and document my journey and what I am learning along the way. Because it's important to take heed of the setbacks and progresses - not pure navel-gazing but looking out and using these scraps of memories, inspirations and lessons as tools for what's to come.
After saying that about procrastination, I am now finishing post no.1 without having said much at all but having made a start at least :)
