Wagon's are bumpy, sometimes you fall off...

Ok ok ok. I fell off the wagon. Fell off and rolled. Down the hill. Into the ditch. You with me on that image? Good.

Well, it's a new year, lots of projects have come and gone, winter is passed, buds are bursting etc. etc. Time to start again. On the wagon. Properly on the wagon and for good this time. Ok readers, you will have to keep me to this. I will too but help is always welcome.

Today's post is about blogs. I know. Revolutionary, talking about blogs in a blog! I've been following a few lately and they have been broadening and enlightening. True, I follow plenty more besides, but the ones I'd like you to consider are special and each one deserves it's own little spot.

I have been an avid fan/follower/Sister Goddess to Mama Gena and her School of the Womanly Arts for some time now. Years in fact, thanks in part to some adventure and 'right thinking' that Helen and I embarked on in the darkest hours of PG research. Her books brought fresh ways of thinking that opened us up to the pursuit of pleasure. Hedonism it the purest and rarest form that gives pleasure, which is something we as women (and indeed humans in general) have been divorced from in the saddest and bitterest ways possible. I have so much more to learn, to share and internalise thanks to this woman. In all due sincerity, I am a better woman from this contact. Now she has a blog! The books are wonderful, I dream of attending Mastery Class one day, her emails are inspiring but the blog. Well. The pictures of these woman - in touch with their honed, toned pleasure - are truly captivating. They aren't bawdy shots, or even body shots but a full flight of maidens is pretty wicked stuff. Contagious stuff. Check it out, she has lots to say and it always always produces a smile.

Deb Dawson Dunn is an extraordinary woman in her own right. She was/is my coach and again, her lectures, blog and playshops are so full of contagious joy that her name needs spreading. Her company, Get It Dunn, has so much to offer I am not just linking to her blog but her whole site. Like Mama Gena, she has enriched my life through her wisdom and guidance. If you live in Winnipeg, come check out her last free lecture of the season on May 26 at the Reh-fit centre. Really, I had planned to say so much more but it seems redundant. If you check her out, you will see it for yourself.

Lastly, this is a blog I only recently (as in this year) started following. I don't necessarily agree with everything he writes but Dragos Roua has stuff to say. Often, it's good stuff. Sometimes I really really want to email him and offer to proof read his posts...but as a self taught English speaker, I think he is doing very well indeed. His posting rate is far higher than my favourite gals but his range of topics is different. I find that even if I disagree with a post, he has perspectives and analogies that make me think. Since personal evaluation and thought are what growth is all about (at least to me) something that gives me pause or that provides me with the chance to check in with the ol' psyche to see how I really feel about something is an invaluable interaction.

So, I hope you'll take some time and check out these great bloggers. Somewhere between them is my blogging lodestar. Regular, informed, informative and full of joy is my goal. Actually, move the joy higher on the list. I will also be posting updates on my business growth. I'm still working on mastering my craft(s) and sorting out the fine print but I'll be sharing all of those adventures.

Wagon's Ho!
