new to blogging

I love to write and would love to share with the world ideas and inspirations.  So I've decided to begin writing a blog.  Unfortunately, I need to share this information with the world of Pinterest and Facebook and just don't understand how.  This is where my Blogwriting course comes in.

jwd

I'm just a person like most others that wants to feel safe, loved, accepted; and to live a joy-fulled, satisfying, exciting life.  I have realized that I am responsible for everything in my life.  I have realized that this means I can take control of my life and create the types of experiences that I wish to have....ABUNDANT, MEANINGFUL, LOVING, PEACEFUL, EXCITING, POSITIVE EXPERIENCES!  But how do I, or anyone for that matter, take control of their life?  Well, anyone who does any type of honest, earnest searching for this answer will discover that it is within themselves.  This has actually been taught the entire known history of man.  Whether you learn from Jesus, Buddha, Jung, Emerson, the I Ching, the Bible, the Emerald Tablet....this list could go on and on....they all teach the same message -  the answers to life can only and truly be found within.

So, I'm on my journey to understand and know myself; preparing the way for God, or Source, or whatever you want to call the true creative force of life, to communicate with me.  For deep down inside you, me, all...this is our essence.  I truly believe that once any of us finds this essence inside of us, we will reclaim full control over our lives.

That's a little bit about me....just a regular guy like most others that wants to feel safe, loved, accepted; and to live a joy-fulled, satisfying, exciting life!!!

Learning to Blog

I am relatively new to blogging. Tried a family blog once but found it hard to keep up with. Facebook just seems easier. But now I have an idea for a blog, in order to satisfy my writing itch and share an interest I have. And now I get to take a class on how to blog? That's just icing on the cake!

MY EXPERIENCE LEARNING TO BLOG

After repeated review of all those tutorials out there I realized there was something missing in the training.  NO not the web host or the blogger service I would use and NO not the domain name I still haven't figured out, But HOW TO BLOG.  I appreciate a new trainer I have encountered, THE BLOG WRITING COURSE.COM, that has allowed me to actually WRITE a blog.  A GOOD START.  Now I will have to figure if I truly have something to say and how I will communicate it without being self-conscious, as this is my first blog, and, as such, my first venture into the world of the press.  I hope to continue to share my Experience Learning to Blog as a newbie until such time as none of us are any longer newbies.  Thank you world for your attention, and stay tuned.

New Discovery

I discovered today that I cannot maintain my extremely busy lifestyle.  Young children, maintaining a household, work, running a business, study, and now venturing into the blogging arena?  That reeks of over commitment.  Well, I am sure that some good stories will come from it.

Joining the Conversations Out There

Hello blog community! My name is Rachel. I've started about five or six blogs and haven't been able to connect to one theme or commit to it. So I was really excited to find this course about blogging to help me learn how to focus. I remember when the internet offered basically AOL and sports stats compared to now and the way the internet has become a way of life. Just this weekend I gave away some books, one was a useful tip book on housecleaning. As I held it in my hand pondering if I should keep it or not, the thought decided it for me, I'd most likely search out how to get a stain out of my carpet online before I remembered I had that book on my shelf! With the new ways to access and provide information, there are so many reasons to get into blogging.

Back to love

After years of adulthood, wandering aimlessly through my days, I finally returned to my first true passion: Writing. I wrote my first play in elementary school and was an avid journalist in middle school. My friend, Tonia Kozlowski and I started an "underground" paper which we attempted to circulate in direct opposition to our school-sponsored newsletter. We were only able to publish one paper before our principal reprimanded us. Life started happening for me during high school. Tragedies happened and I lost the desire to write. Later, I went on to study to become a Paralegal, had kids, got married, got divorced and starting dreading my daily activities. Until I was inspired to write poetry under the pen name Seren Taylor. After publishing a collection, co-authored with my spiritual sister, Shai Yo Choe, and its limited (that's a very generous term) success, I ran away from my first true love again. Now 36 and wanting more out of my life, I am determined to get back to writing and stick with it. Although I would love to live the life of a professional writer and make a nice paycheck from my passion, I am realistic in my understanding of what it takes to achieve such a whimsical goal. Now, I write because it eases my mind and my body and maybe I can inspire another youngster to stick with her dreams and keep writing. I'm Shanice, I'm new at this blogging thing, but I am here to stay.

My Fitness Trainer Blog

Yes, Fitness training. The dream profession. It has it all, action, glamour, and the beautiful hard-bodied people. You will have hordes of highly motivated clients throwing their money at their fitness guru to help them sculp their bodies. Because of you:
-The weak become stronger
-The heavy become lighter
-The unhealthy become well
You are the Mentor of Muscular Manipulation,
the Liquidator of Abdominal Lipids,
the Regal Regent of Physical Realignment and Rehabilitation!

In reality, Fitness Training can be tough grind chasing down leads and trying to provide motivation
for lacksadaisical followers.  For every Trainer to the Stars, there are countless others slogging it out in a tough market, chasing after elusive referrals in a recession, or working around other jobs to keep afloat. This is an industry where many people think that you should work for chump change or even for free! This is an industry where those who have previously succeeded are not interested in being your mentor. They think you will steal their clients!
   The media sells Fitness Training as a booming profession.  What planet are they on?
Okay, okay, don't be discouraged. You can become a successful Fitness Trainer, especially if you can sell your product. Don't get sucked in by fitness center chains promising you easy access to willing clients. These are often empty promises.
   I have been involved in the Fitness Training business for almost 20 years. I have the battle wounds to prove it. I also have the knowledge and insider experience to help guide you through this new career that you are aspiring to. Stay tuned for further blogs. There is more to come!

Until next time,.............keep fit!

First ever blog

I have absolutely no experience of blogging, barely even of reading them, but as a primary school teacher I really need to learn. The controller of the blog seems to hold a worrying amount of power in schools ;-) . I've also seen the amazing things that can be done with blogs to help pupil writing (particularly boys) by given them an audience and helping them to connect with the wider world.

Vanity

Am I the only one who worries that my desire to create a blog only stems from my own vanity? That I might not be as interesting as I think I am, and not even my own mother will check my blog religiously? Overall, I find myself an intelligent person and I am forever coming up with ideas for blog posts, but every time I try to write these amazing ideas out, I am suddenly frozen with this fear of horrible failure. Hopefully, I will learn something from this course and work up the gumption to actually follow through on some of these crazy ideas in my head, even if it does end in disaster.

Why I want to blog

I'm into photography nowadays. I've been buzy with so many things lately but photography seemed to kept its hold on me. I'm no housewife. I'm a mother, a driver, a yaya, a designer, a make-up artist all rolled into one. Now, I want to blog too.
