Allo Beau­ti­ful souls!

Someone recently asked me

Why my web­site doesn’t have any more new content?

Why I am not blog­ging as I prom­ised to do?

And

my true hon­est answer came out from my heart

and  said,  I am not inspired.

Later on that even­ing I said to myself, is it true?

Is it true I am not inspired at all?

What is it I need to be inspired?

Am I wait­ing for the inspir­a­tion to come from outside?

So I sat to med­it­ate with the ques­tion and answer,

(the only and best thing I ever know to do)

And that my friends,

Brought out lots of why’s.

Why I decided to come back to Ethiopia?

Why do I have a website?

Why do I want to share my life?

The truth is, it’s all about me.

Yes I want to make the world a bet­ter place, Trans­form lives, Be light to human­ity all those goodness…

But deep down I know, doing what I love to do has always lead me to be a con­scious, lov­ing, stronger, trust­ing, happy, non-judgmental, funny, spon­tan­eous, groun­ded creature that I am, and I love that!!  How could I not want more of that:-)

So I went back to my bucket list, to do my invent­or­ies and revi­sion.
Because  for me it’s those things that keep me inspired, give me the fuel that I need to get through my day, keep me focused (sane :-)) when everything around me tells me oth­er­wise. So there you have it. Hope you all have that inspir­a­tion within.

Will post my Bucket List on the next post. If you do get inspired, share yours too.

If you don’t know about Bucket List or you want to cre­ate your own –
