Daisy Change

This post is so rough it's written on my tablet.  I'm going to keep it short.  Blogging is not what it used to be.  It used to be a very casual but mildly still professional space but alas post pandemic the world has changed.  You need to run a blog as a business these days not like one. Even a hobby blog has to follow certain business etiquette to even get a chance at being read.  Fortunately for my readers, I've no problem with upping my game so that my blog is opporating at the professional standards it should be.  But that's not everyone. Not everyone has the time to learn all the skills to make their blog a success. I really wish people would stop saying that anyone can do this because truthfully we don't live in a equal opportunity world.  I have skills gaps to take my blog to the next level so I'm taking a break from blogging to solve this.  I'm also really not happy with the direction of this blog. Need to rethink and portentionaly rebrand...

Hello life, its been a while since I've written to you but you haven't exactly been kind to me these past few years, so what do you expect? I'm writing now because I have loads to tell you, (and because a letter to you is long overdue) Currently I'm organizing my world both online and off, and I have to say its so refreshing to have everything slowly coming together.  Leaving London a few months ago was tough, but I'm settling in nicely back home in Wales, and honestly life although I hate what went down a few months ago, I think it was the right move to come home.  Not really sure where you're going to take me next, but I have some guidance for you, please consider my plans.  I'm actually planning my future again, which is amazing, but I know how you like your curve balls.  Please note, I don't enjoy them, but I do my best to work with what you throw at me.  Anyway, this was just a quick one, I know I told you I have loads to say, ...

  Hello and welcome to a new series!      I canceled Shocktober again this year because to be honest, this is better.  The goal here is very simple. I've been suffering very badly with fatigue and exhaustion. (If you know anything about the season I just came through, you will know why) The goal with this series is simply to organize my life in the month of October.  Then tell you how it's been going in a diary style series. At the moment, I'm not taking blogging to seriously, I just need to keep my skills sharp. A diary style series is a great way to do exactly that.  I get to provide value to the readers I have while taking a more casual approach to my blog.   We need to cover the start point so that we can see how I progress through this series. As I said, I've been suffering with fatigue.  This is largely down to the medication I'm currently on, Again the season I just came from was intense!  I just went back to univer...

 I have got to level with you guys, if I write the post I originally had planned, I'm scared to death of loosing this blog over it. You may have noticed a distinct lack of freedom of speech creeping in on certain platforms Which really does leave me with a choice to make. This isn't easy because I'm in the awkward teen years in blog years. I have been at this for fifteen years now.  I have stayed intentionally smallish because I NEVER want to loose the personal touch. Now though its time to pivot and grow.  The thing is the content here has been designed to provoke thought. If I'm honest, the world is going in a very different direction then the one we're headed here on Daisy Change so I have to do what is right for the this blog, even if it does mean loosing half my audience. See, it's not as simple as just writing what I want, because again we are very much in an age where we really have to watch what we say online.  So what to do? You just saw me do it.  I ma...

 Hey guys,  Writing today feels really heavy, because the poem I shared last post felt very vulnerable.  I hate writing heavy. Yet, ironically, when I push past that feeling, I often find some of my best work comes out. I'm getting into the habit of bringing out content on this blog only when its ready.  If you follow me on social media, you  will know I put out a lot of content over on the various platforms I am on. This is just a quick one today. Just to say that I'm moving on from Sort it out September. The content here will be out when it is ready, but I'm not pushing myself to write when my soul is so in need of repair.  Its not appropriate right now to go into details.  I'm just leading by example, and taking some time to let my soul heal before the next series on this blog. Anyway that's it. Take care all.

Last post, I told you that I am a Christian Universalist.  My definition of this is believing that any path can lead to Jesus but the only way to the Father is through the Son. That said, I need to build from here.  I have to be delicate this post, as I know that people around the world are in grief, and we as a world are in a time of great uncertainty.  I'm choosing not to comment on the passing of Queen Elizabeth, other then to say I'm not commenting on it but I am trying to write with the greatest of delicacy and respect today.  Let's just say I know who my audience are, and I don't believe my opinions or comments on recent events will bring anything enlightening.  If you haven't got anything worth saying then just don't. I live by that.  At present, I'm treating my blog more like a ministry than a business, and I'm in one of those moments where what makes sense for ministry would not make sense for business.  This is the moment we cross over, back ...

 For lack of a better way of putting it, coming out as any denomination other than Christian progressive's, is met with ridicule on all sides these days.  I attend a denominational Church, but I am in fact a Christian Universalist. I'm about to explain it.  It used to be we could say what form of Christianity we follow and people were pretty respectful.  Oh how the world has changed.  Respect is long gone in so many different arenas across the world.  Change is my specialty, but even I have to painfully sigh at some of the changes the world has gone through.  Conventional  wisdom would have me add images and links through out this post, but since when have I ever done anything the conventional way.  Yet my life is on track to where I want it to go. Going against the grain can sometimes be the best  thing we can do, and I'm all for unique and authentic individuals expressing that, but at the core of my being, I still believe the...
