Letting Go and Letting Flow

by Joanna on February 1, 2010

One of the reasons I blog is to learn what I need to learn.

Sometimes I learn through the writing of the post.

Sometimes I work through an issue or a problem and then blog some of the things that worked.

How writing things down (in a journal, a doodle, a line of a poem, in one word or three words or a series of posts) can help us to get started with new projects, dreams and ambitions

Although we have touched on the idea of a word that will last for the year, I haven’t yet written the post I wanted to on the idea of writing it down to make it happen.  And sadly I don’t have enough time to do the reading & write it up properly for you.  Maybe a suitable moment will come at another point in the year.
