Blogging and the Ego

Posted in Musings... at 9:55 pm by Administrator

Many thanks to all of you who have visited my blog.  I especially appreciate the feedback I received to provide more specific information in my posts. 

Up until presently, I had been steering away from being too specific in my postings because I didn’t know if people would be interested in hearing about my daily life.  And even more importantly I realized I would have to open myself to public scrutiny if I started to write about myself in a more transparent manner.  This was an “Aha” moment for me.  Even though I felt I was being open in these postings I found I was hiding behind a facade of how I thought I should present myself as the writer of this website.  The ego is a very tricky companion.  Just when you think you have your ego under control that is when you will find that you have been fooling yourself.

So here is to being foolish and to being wise.  May we never take ourselves too seriously and believe our own hype.

Blessings to you,
Swan
