Any free-standing structure needs a good foundation.  Every good foundation stems from an outline; a blueprint; a map of direction, instruction, intention.

My intention for starting this blog was to establish a sense of ownership towards my own goals.  How do you create your own destiny in this realm of universal influence?  Or does the universe already expect you to take the steps you will eventually stride, waiting for the day to come when you pick up speed and finally sprint into the person you were meant to become all of this time?

Feeling a sense of spiritual influence lately, a curiosity of what lies beneath, or above.  Welcoming answers and meaning.  Not to say that I am knocking on the door, but definitely trying to peek in the window.  Routine can close you off from this incredible world around us, and just "searching" can start to tear down the surrounding barriers. 

Accept and acknowledge the present. Be aware of where you are now. Understand that you cannot change the moment, you can only change what comes next.

So here is my blueprint.  My foundation.  I've written, and re-written this list, and will most likely continue to re-write it as i go.  As life brings me opportunity I will adapt and change, and I know I am the only one that can hold myself back.  Hmm, the power of an idea, a laptop and a top-knot.
