Breaking Out of My Box

Okay, so everyone knows I have a "spiritual" side and all of my blog posts have been rather philosophical in nature.  And they don't show my humorous side.  So many people tell me I should be a comedienne. But I don't think I'm all that funny, I'm just normal.

And then I think, who the hell wants to hear what I have to say anyway?  Isn't blogging just some sort of ego-boosting exercise?  Is it a sort of mental incest?  Aren't we all just making this stuff up as we go along? Plus I write a weekly email (on spiritual matters, of course) and so I tell myself I do plenty of writing.

So, with all of my excuses, I've managed to only write five whole blogs here in 2013.  Will I do better in
2014?  Am I "flirting with life" or "napping with life?"

Anyway, this is all leading up to giving myself permission to step outside of my own self-made blogging box.  Of course, I'll continue with some spiritual ideas (I can't help myself) - but I'm also going to chime in with my own perspective on life.  Maybe add in some recipes (or I may start another blog, but not sure how that goes - thinking of calling it "flirting with food.")  I don't cook much so that one could have less than five posts per year (although I'm getting ready to post my first recipe as soon as I finish this blog).

Okay, here comes the spiritual stuff

Where have you allowed yourself to be stuck in a self-made box? What don't you allow yourself to think, to experience, or to do because it doesn't fall into the "identity" of what you've decided for yourself?  DO. NOT. SUCCUMB. TO. THAT. BOX.

Let's make a grand showing in 2014 - - yes, the year to be seen!
