Hi three peeps,
(Although probably down to two given my insane lack of posts!)
It’s been a whirlwind month over at Practically Intuitive where I am actually still going with the Ultimate Blog Challenge (34 days straight and counting). It was nice getting so many comments and my blog traffic really zoomed along with subscribers to my email list and Facebook page. And I found my writing mojo again.
Win/Win on all counts.
Where does that leave Snarkypants, though?
Not sure.
Since I left ye olde place of employ, life has gotten somewhat less ranty and a tad more peaceful (dog issues aside) and so my safe place to rant is not as needed.
And it’s become mighty quiet here.
On the other hand, one thing I know about myself is this: when there’s a lot of processing going on deep inside, I get quiet on the outside. My 40 years of journals sometimes tell me more about what I HAVEN’T written than what I have.
What am I NOT saying here?
One of the things that’s been showing up for me is about being shunned, as I wrote about in the last post. How that’s happened to me so much in my life for reasons I cannot begin to fathom. It’s possible I was a shithead in my younger days and I was shunned deservedly so. I’m willing to entertain that theory.
But there have been times where people have just up and left without a word to me. Important people in my life. Just POOF! Gone.
It took me many years to learn it wasn’t always about me although for years and years I was sure it was something I did or didn’t do or was or wasn’t.
Being shunned for reasons you cannot figure out is a weird place. When it happens more than, oh, say five times in your life, it’s something to look at.
My Guides have told me to start looking at it big time. And they pretty much forced my hand when I was resisting doing it. (Gotta love those Guides!)
Maybe I’ll share more about that here as an exercise in …. something. (Not sure what.)
Anyway, I’ll be blogging over at PI until I run out of things to say or forget. Come visit there if you get lonely here.
But I’ll be back.
Promise.
(PS: Gal, I’ll do your challenge soon! Thanks for thinking of me.)
For what it’s worth, I think FB can be a very negative place at times, and you post there *a lot.* I know I’m done with it for a while and returning to the safety and comfort of Blogger. Could all that social network/cyber crap be weighing you down? I know it gets to me and I have to remind myself it’s not real.
I have issues around being shunned, too… you’re not alone in this. With me it goes hand-in-hand with feeling rather as if there is nothing left behind, especially when thinking of old friends and such. Trying to distinguish between the causes that can be changed (i.e. attitude, way we treat people) and those that can’t (social status, disability, etc.) is sometimes difficult.
You have my empathy and I am curious to know if the information you receive from your Guides around this issue might be helpful to others as well.
