“Why do you write a blog???” Freetude Idea 62, Freedom Ideas, Freedom Attitude


Several friends are asking me: “Why do you write a blog???”

They add: “You have: 3 kids, 1 husband, many friends, some charities, 1 FULL time job, 1,000 bills, many hobbies…. WHY? HOW do you even have time? ”

So I started to think… Why?

I realize that I blog for the same reason that Ariel (yes, the Little Mermaid) wants to leave the water.
Ariel's Song:
I've got gadgets and gizmos a-plenty
I've got whozits and whatzits galore
You want thingamabobs?
I've got twenty!
But who cares?
No big deal
I want more
When's it my turn?
Wouldn't I love, love to explore that world up above?
Out of the sea
Wish I could be
Part of that world

That is the reason!

When I was a kid, the world was BIG. Now my neighborhood seems tight and the world appears so small and inviting.
I feel like getting “out of the closet”, discovering the globe…
My purpose of planet sustainability grows daily and exponentially.
My commitment to living fully and being true to myself is starting to take over me.
So I write a blog, while it is not the time to pack up for the creative adventure.

Meanwhile, my blog travels… It’s been 5,000 clicks and close to 1,000 profile clicks in 50 countries. I see the google map getting all colorful. I still haven’t gotten to China... But would you believe that South Korea and Indonesia are number 4 and 5 in views? And my brothers are not living there…

When is it my turn?

Idea 62: Bring the shoe/accessories brand Carmem Steffens to Miami. It is my favorite shoe brand in Brazil. The Owners are wonderful people and the product is excellent.
