I was catching up on some reading and I got caught up at Brave and Reckless. It is an absolutely fantastic page, with a variety of things to check out. She has the best advice for new bloggers. On her post, Advice For New WordPress Bloggers – FAQ, she reminded me of the importance to “set a tone and tell the readers a LOT about who I am as a writer and as a person.”
I like her advice so much that I decided to display my first post, Manifest Truth, at the top of my page. I think it does a good job of showcasing what this blog is all about:
* S#!t happens, to everyone. Life is messy and it has very real effects.
*At least life is funny. A consolation prize for all the mess is medicine for the soul.
* It’s essential to face the truth in order to move forward. You can’t solve your problems if you refuse to acknowledge their existence.
* The truth is malleable. In fact, if you hold onto it too tight, it will escape you. No one likes to be a prisoner.
* The amazing miracles, strength, and enlightenment of life are already inside of you, and also in everyone else. Sometimes you need a little inspiration or change in perspective to see that. If that doesn’t work, I have big feet too.
* Injustice anywhere is injustice everywhere!
Tilting your head to a slightly new angle might be all that is needed to see things anew. “Free The Truth is a refreshing, honest, insightful and inspirational blog dedicated to truth, justice, and love.” That is a very real review from the author herself, Elaine Kelly.
Please enjoy my first post, Manifest Truth. I think it says a lot about me and the types of posts you can expect to find here at Free The Truth.
You will not find pictures of me next to my blogs; I don’t even own a cell phone and this is the first social media I have used this decade. (Let that sink in for a bit)
Privacy concerns stemming from escaping domestic violence have prevented me from joining the electronic world we now live in. The ironic thing is that despite all the trauma I have been through, some of the most crippling effects of partner family member abuse have actually come from labeling myself as a victim of it. To start, every time I identified myself as a victim, I become one all over again. I continued my suffering when I held onto those events as being an integral part of my history. People then suggested I look at the Brightside of my misfortunes and acknowledge their role in shaping who I am as a person. I am not…
