Clearing the Path

I’ve been spending a lot of time in recent days thinking about clearing the path. The metaphorical path is the journey we are in life. Sometimes that journey gets impeded with blocks and distractions that take out us out of the realm of our journey and either leads us down a different path, or it just slows us down on our way to the destination.

As I spend a lot of time online, Facebook has been a great impediment that distracts me from my goals, so one of the ways I am clearing my path is to spend less time on Facebook and freeing up more time to do the things that give me a gratifying and satisfying life.

While Facebook is a wonderful avenue to keep in touch with people we care about and love, if one stays too long on Facebook, it becomes a repetitious habit that can bog us down in the bad news and fake news, a host of memes that are meaningless.

As a creative person, I I love that I can share things with others on Facebook, but in using Facebook more, I use my blog less. It is time for that to change. I don’t exactly have a clear view of what those changes look like, but I do know that they are necessary.

So in the coming days/weeks/months, I hope to spend more time posting here and sharing my creative work.

Namaste… Pamela
