The Beginning

Blog created (Phew) !! WoW, let's make the calculations. I spent a year thinking about writing a blog, I spent two days forming the idea about this blog, I spent 3hrs in total: reading important stuff about blogging, how to create a blog and then creating one. I clicked a lot of possible features I don't understand so this will be a reverse process. I will have my professional blogging tutorial (by a computer genius) after the first post :) 

It's all about the content anyway, isn't it?..hmm.

Let me introduce why and how after a year I decided to start this now. 

Because of "A book". 

The book is "The Art of Non-Conformity" by Chris Guillebeau (for the first time I typed the second name and not "copy-paste" it :) www.chrisguillebeau.com. Chris is one of my favorite people the last few months..although that's not technically true cos I don't know him personally. 

So, Chris's writing is my favorite reading. After detailed reading through his blog, I realized I really really want his book. 

A friend brought it to me from Frankfurt (3 words: Macedonia, shipping, living standard-bad). That's 4 words. I'm a musician so numbers are not my thing.

"A mind". That would be my mind. Hi mind :) I've been doing a lot of exploring lately, personal exploring that is, just to find out all the games that our mind is playing with us and having soooo much fun. 

But they're not fun. 

They're limiting, they create fear based thinking and if I don't do something about changing the rules of the game it could last forever. 

Through exploring my mind, the games, the tricks, the possibilities I am hoping to get to know me. 

"A process". Aaahhh the process.

 Einstein said:  "Learning is experience, everything else is information". I can't agree more. Just going back to when my mum was telling me that it's probably not the best idea to have 10 best friends and tell them everything...well it took a lot of tears and all the class knowing which guy is my crush to learn the lesson. And that's when I was 9. Now, the lessons are different.

Summary: I will write about the process of getting to know me with the help of "The Art of Non-Conformity" book by Chris Guillebeau.

I love creativity, which is why the second book I got is "The Creative Entrepreneur" by Lisa Sonora Beam, www.lisasonorabeam.com. I warmly recommend her techniques for anyone that likes coloring, drawing, cards, stamps for a higher purpose like self-discovery through fun. 

I am in the process of creating a 2011 Strategic Planner (I know I missed the dead-line, that story is saved for another time), so I will write about that experience as well because it's part of the process and it really helps.

My challenges for this process will be:

• overcome the fear to press the "publish post" button
• K.I.S.S ! I'm not good with short, Seth Godin is. This is a challenge on more levels (my boyfriend lives in Tanzania)
• Continuity and discipline. Especially in PMS when all I want to do is stay in bed or punch someone

Respecting the K.I.S.S challenge I am now finishing my first post...

This is really exciting, I can't wait to see what comes out...

Finishing..

Now!
