WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S UP IN 2018?

WHY I AM HERE
Okay, now that you’ve got my number (read: MY ADVENTURE / Who I Am) you may wonder (or not!) what I’m doing here. I will tell you (surprise, surprise). This adventure began in 2011 when this stubborn and intrepid spirit took a stubborn and intrepid leap: As I found myself isolated across the continent, sick and living on credit I decided to stay put and write a book instead of doing the sensible thing and moving back home. (for even more details, read my book! Fearless Crashing and Soul Shining — COMING SOON).
For a long time I had known a book dwelled within me; as it turned out, a nearly fifteen-year incubation was necessary (elephants have nothing on me!). It took having the rug entirely pulled from under my feet to spur the reluctant thing to break its resistant shell and make itself heard.
Since the blessed event, both my feet have been firmly planted on the X that marks my spot. No longer do I catch glimpses of my soul’s perspective; I now have an amazing 360° view. But a view doesn’t make it restful (not yet anyway — I do lament the lack of lazy days). In fact, a 360° view implies you are open to the elements. Wide open for the winds to knock you down. And I’m getting whipped, or should I say: “gifted with a wealth of opportunities for further growth” (aargh!).
Although my mettle is getting seriously tested, the certainty that I have found my life’s purpose is unshakeable. Everything finally makes sense:
My life was lived to be shared.
Kept to myself, it is merely useful to one.
Shared, it is a life of use to others.
So I am here to share my reflections, wisdom and stories. I will share them not because I believe they are unique (although my ego loves reveling in the idea) but because I know they are common in their essence.
— My stories are not really about me, I just happen to be the main character.
— My reflections are mine, but they were formed in the collective consciousness.
— My wisdom I have acquired, but it was borrowed from the universal wisdom.
Nonetheless, I know it is my purpose, passion and joy to lay down in words my particular ways of seeing, thinking and living.
I am delighted to be here. It’s been a long time comin’.
To all of you my fellow Soul Shiners, Mind Gymnasts, Wonder Cultivators, Faulty Faith Owners, Love Believers, Nature Lovers, Fence Jumpers, Peaceful Warriors, Fearless Crashers, Life Seekers, Kindness Junkies and Spiritaholics:
