I have been doing this online thing for about a year now.  I started writing from the heart for the first time.  I mean really writing and I believe I have certainly found my passion in life.  I used to think I wanted to write a novel.  You have probably read something and thought to yourself "I could do that!"  I didn't realize that what I wanted to do was to share from my heart.  I want to share what I know keeps me going in order to help others find their true path while trying to stay on mine.  

Since I have been doing this blogging thing, the feedback has been wonderful.  I have been on the receiving end of the kindest comments.  I have heard from people who read some little thing I had posted and it caused a light bulb moment for them.  I am so grateful for that!  It does my heart a world of good, just so you know.  

My motivation in starting out was to figure out how to work from home.  I so wanted to drop out of the rat race.  I wanted to reduce my stress and not have to put up with traffic, job stress, unkind people, driving in rush hour when it snows, and the list goes on.  

When I first started my online explorations, I got caught up in some of the hype that goes with Internet Marketing.  It didn't take long for me to realize that the marketing part was secondary and that I really just needed to write.  It has been said that if you follow your passion, you can't miss.

The question I ask myself is where do I want to go?  What do I really want?  What really matters to me?  Good questions.  Usually the answers are already there if you know where to look.  

I have some dreams and a few good ideas.  About where I want to go, do I mean internally or externally?  Maybe both.  I would like to travel.  No, what I would like is the freedom to travel if I take a notion!  I would like the peace that comes from knowing my purpose, which sounds like real freedom to me.

So what do I truly want?  Out of life?  Is it material things?  Again, maybe a little of both.  It comes back to having the freedom to pursue dreams and the means to have comfortable things around.  

As to what really matters to me, I believe the answer is already looking at me.  Freedom.  Now to find the road to that freedom.  I hope you all stay around so I can share this continuing journey with you.  I know there are a lot of people out there who want the same things I do.  So, let's explore ways we can all have that freedom.
