Just Do it! don't just daydream - create the dream

That's a very grand title isn't it?! This is going to be a very self indulgent collection of witterings. I'm writing this as a kind of motivational tool to get myself actually writing again but really I'm telling myself off.

I haven't contributed anything to this project for weeks and then I wonder why i can't get people interested in it? If I can't muster up the energy to look at my own blog, how on earth can i expect any one else too? You see there is a direct correlation between action and effort - to put it another way, the longer you leave things the harder it gets and the more effort you put in stuff actually becomes easier. So with that in mind I am going to put in a little burst of effort into my blog.

So why the renewed energy I here you ask? well two reasons. One - Demand Media have just excepted my other blog for distribution through their network. My other blog, which can be found at blog.stocksigns.co.uk, is for my other job. When I'm not trying to be "Supermum" or an "Eco warrior" I actually have a proper job. The writing for that is going rather well, and lovely people from all round the world tune in to read my hints and tips on safety signs for the workplace. (did you see what I did there? all part of my link building campaign - a bit of self promotion never hurt any one!). My second reason is that I have a very dear friend that has been subtly telling me to get on with it. She's not being pushy at all you understand, just a gentle couple of words every now and then at the end of our general chit chat emails.Just a teeny weeny reminder to start writing again just enough to shame me into action!

Actually I have a third reason - I like doing it and I have so much to say! Not because I love hearing my own voice or that I think that what I have to say is of great importance to all that read it but because I have learnt so much from others. I like most people, well those that are honest with themselves anyway, struggle. I struggle with working full time, with trying to be a good Mum, with trying to make all my relationships work, in essence I struggle with life. Friends, family and the good old Internet have all passed on valuable information to me that have made my struggles easier to deal with or at the very least made them a bit more fun, all survival tips for the modern age which I want to share with other strugglers.

So witterings over with for now. I am going to stop daydreaming about the life I want to live and start creating it.
