As I said in the other day’s post, I changed the format of the entire Reiki side of the site, with the exception of the journal entries. This is something I will be working on, but couldn’t get it all done immediately because there’s so bloody many of them. In fact there are 550 entries (if I counted correctly). Now I ask one question… What the hell could I have to say that I wrote so much about?
Ok, 550 entries. I decided to count them to see if I could change them before releasing the new format. When I got to 550, I knew these would have to wait. Right now, if you go through them, some of them will be in the new format, but most will not. As of this writing I think I have gotten through most of the April entries (spanning multiple years).
550 entries. Wow. That is over 100 journal entries a year. Or it is one entry every 3.23 days (not that I measure out 3.23 days before writing the next one). I thought I might have a couple hundred out here, but 550? Is there really that much to talk about? I guess there must be.
I started this journal (today they call these things blogs) exactly five years ago tomorrow. I wanted to show people some of the things that were possible with energy, to show things that they may never have thought of before, thus expanding their considerations of what might be possible.
But it has ended up being much more than just learning. There are entries here that tell of special experiences. There are those that are outright instructive. Others talk about events, classes, or just plain old happenings.
I started out talking about energy, God, astral projection, reaching… just some light topics. I think I’ve brought out new theories, given positive thoughts, and told of personal ups and downs, mine and other’s.
I’ve talked about doing massage, and what starting a business entails, and how long it takes for things to start moving. I’ve shown things that are positive, and things that are not. I’ve talked on this and that, and ranted and raved now and then. I’ve gone off on tangents, and come back on straight lines. I’ve shown the good, the bad, and even the ugly (no, I have not posted my picture out here).
I’ve talked about gains, and losses. I’ve talked about the loss of friends, the loss of situations, and the loss of loved ones in normal and extreme situations. I’ve talked about things going very well, and things falling apart.
I’ve shown what a lightworker can do. And I’ve shown what happens when a lightworker gets slammed up against a wall that they can’t cross. I’ve shown joys, and fears, and doubts, and frustrations.
What have I shown through it all? Well, lots of growth. Growth in potential. Growth in knowledge and experience. Growth in understanding and maturity (there’s that word again – I may grow old, but I’ll never mature J). But what has this done for others? Since it was not meant as a diary (although I’ve bared my soul all too many times), it was meant for others to read, and see things for themselves.
The response has been very good. Some people have been following this from the beginning and are still with it. Others come and go as the time and responsibilities they have change. Many have claimed to learn a lot from it. I have been told it has made people think along lines that they never would have considered before. They’ve seen new possibilities and new theories which have expended their realm of thinking and perception.
Because I show the ups and downs, I have heard from people in similar places in their lives and how they cope, or how they will consider coping now that they read something here that is meaningful to them. I have heard from people that were surprised that I do show the good times and the bad. Several were surprised that I do have bad times, or can be negative (since I seemed like such a positive person to them). The fact is that I am human, and when I show that, they realize that it is ok for them to be human as well.
Well, I guess this ‘blog’ really does have a point. And it is doing what I intended it to be doing, educating and helping people. That makes it worth it.
So, as I mark this five year anniversary, I do it feeling that there is a purpose to all things including this little piece of cyberspace that I call my journal. I thank everyone that has been following it, giving me feedback, telling me how it affected them. I welcome newcomers and those that come and go. Mostly, I thank you all for making me feel that this has been worthwhile, and not just an exercise in writing.
You all take care please. May love and light be with you always.
