I used to be hardcore into the corporate religion. The one in which you bought into the belief that you had to climb the ladder and give 110% for the company. And it's a collective company - not just the one for which you work, but The Company in general - the faceless ideal of a corporate entity. I tried hard to believe it, and for years, all my actions were guided by this paradigm.
About a year ago, I began to lose my faith in that 'god'. And you know what? The more I moved away from the corporate religion, the more I discovered myself.
The Truth never stops whispering in your ear.
But I no longer give the finger to my former 'self'. I know that the more we resent or hate something, the more we bind ourselves to it.
I takes a while, but the more we let go, the more happiness embraces us.
I just realized that the blogs I've done so far feel more like they're written to myself - like an entry to a diary. Sorry if I appear self-idulgent... it's not my intention.
Well, that's enough for today. I'm going outside to listen to the crickets sing their song in the mid-day heat.
Have a good one, and thanks for reading.

It's officially one week since my original post. It's a fantastic day outside (read: HOT!!!), so I'll be bolting shortly to catch some sun.
I merely wanted to comment, I guess mostly to myself, on how GREAT life is when you stop 'trying', and just let it happen. Things are clicking for me in a way I had always hoped, but never thought possible.
Last year at this time, I had a big house in a quiet neighborhood, with a big yard and a nice in-ground pool. I had a job where I made a lot of money and paid for it with my soul.
The end of last year, I had enough, and decided it was time to simplify. I sold that house, bought one a third of the size - 87 years old with all the associated charm. I've had a contractor do the major work to it, but I've done a lot to it myself and have learned to do things I would never have tried before - and done them well! I'm in the best part of London now, in my humble opinion.
That job is in the past in a good way, and I'm enjoying the summer and life in general.
It's amazing the beauty you see in the world when you stop trying to hang on to it and let it embrace you. The rest is just "stuff"...
Enjoy the weekend, everyone!

Ok. I've been meaning to do this for a while, but have never made the leap. It's going to be short, but sweet.
Today I didn't get nearly enough accomplished, but you know what? I'm getting ok with that. I'm really feeling like I'm escaping the rat-race. I'll fill you in on the background to that transition in later posts.
I've made a consultation appointment for my first ink... and I can't wait! I'll post a pic when it's complete.
Well, that's it for now. I just lost my blog virginity. Would that be bloginity?
