    I was thinking about beginning a kind of 'blog' about mindfulness, what does everyone think? I have never done anything like that before but would really like to document my experiences and have somewhere where people can discuss their own experiences as I have done a search for general mindfulness forums and haven't found anything as yet. Let me know what you think.

    Sounds good . Do you mean a blog on this forum or something seperate?

    Oh no! Something separate! You can start a free blog on other sites so I thought about documenting my journey in a kind of journal form and inviting other people to comment.

    Thank you. All I have to do is get the motivation to write something! I don't want it to be naval-gazing waffle but something that could potentially change someone's life and way of thinking.

    I look forward to reading it, and might even start a blog to help myself.It's serendipity that I saw the course yesterday, and got on it in the nick of time:D:D:D

    I would encourage you to do it too, journalling in any form is really therapeutic. Looking forward to hearing about how you get on at the course, sounds really exciting!

    Excellent! I think what I'll find most difficult is adhering the writing to an audience as opposed to the general rubbish I write in my journal (when I can be bothered to do so). Hope you've had a mindful week. My mind has been pretty wild today for some reason.
