What am I Doing?

As I stumbled and bumbled and grew frustrated with WordPress it occurred to me that the fundamental thing missing from my static newly-created Home page with social media feeds and menus and sidebar – (wait, maybe no sidebar) is this…..

What the heck is the purpose of this blog anyway? What is my vision?

I introduced you to my shower epiphany in Bendy Straws. ( a good place to start reading btw) But what in the actual hell am I doing?

I want to inspire you. Just a little. A little spark of hope to turn into motivation. You, yes you with the bad haircut and growing mid section, you with the dishes in the sink and piles of laundry. Also you with the road rage and stifled emotions. You can be happy. Truly. Not a one-too-many-glasses-of-wine,  just-won- the- lottery- afterglow -of -sex happy. That is an emotion, a mood. I am talking contentment, sukha – the state of being in love with your life. No one is happy 100 % of the time, we all suffer and have discomfort. But if you find a base, a foundation of happiness to return to – then the rough spots get a little easier to ride out.

Where to begin?  I have so many perspectives and stories and ideas that I could begin 30 posts in the next week.  But where I would like you to begin is by watching I Am, the documentary by Ace Ventura director, Tom Shadyac.

Genius.
This movie changed my life. It changed me.

Pay attention to the themes regarding community, about humans evolving into social creatures. About cooperation over competition. Regardless of whether you take time out of your busy day to watch a documentary, the truth is ….

I need you. You need me. Let’s build a place to share love and kindness.  Add your comments, send me your stories (searching4sukha@gmail.com), tell me what you would like to see. I am working on a page that hosts discussions – be patient, my WordPress skills are slow to grow.
