hey everyone....

i joined this pod some time ago but i haven't had the chance to really dive into the online communities. i've got a blog associated with Holons News: http://www.shamansun.blogspot.com

that has also been my nickname online for a few years now.

it doesn't receive too much traffic, but it gets a few readers. the point? to be an integral writer, to write with passion about the integral philosophy, to spirituality, science and philosophy- overall ideas on what's going on in my head about what's important to me, and hopefully be able discover that it's important to others....

i consider myself an old soul and often alone, so this blog is a new venture, an experiment for me socially.... check it out if you want.

I'm Wren Tuatha, aka wiselittleraccoon. I blog, write poetry, film, teach, make stuff and sell it. I'm one of those "idea people" who is not afraid to try something. But I'm still bummed if it tanks. Now I'm on to my new exciting thing, a new site/blog I'm calling HippieChickDiaries! I'm looking forward to digging through these posts for pointers and ideas.

Visit me sometime! I like making friends!

I thought this said "re-introduce yourself" and I was surprised, cos I had n't yet. Unless of course I had already and did n't notice. But then that would n't be such a surprise as I often miss the obvious. I'm trying to slow down, but if I do more of that I'll end up going backwards. Am I making myself clear? Just in case you don't want to get to know me I'll save you the embarrasment and keep me a secret. Eh? If it's a secret then who am I? I guess I'll just have to go and read my profile to find out. You coming?

Hello All,

My name is Christian. I'm a theatre artist and teacher living in the metro New York area. I'm excited to expand my reach in cyberspace and thought this would be a good way to start.

I look forward to diving in.

Howdy,

It's me. I appreciate this pod being here, and I also appreciate that somebody must have left the pod to make room for somebody else (me) to join, so I will participate, and at such time I think that I won't be participating, I'll leave too, so somebody else can get on.

I love to write. Sometimes I think I was born to write. I've received lots of encouragement, and I've found that I love blogs! I love to meet Zaadzsters who blog and to read their blogs. It's wonderful to have a place where people can write and share thoughts. Now I'm smiling, remembering when I was in kindergarten, I lived in a very small town in northern CA, and people still had the habit of pointing up to the sky and remarking when an airplane flew over. This came up for me when I reflected that, in Zaadz-years, I'm an old fart. Who would ever have thought "computers" and "blogs." When I was coming up we were still working on "the magic of television." :)

Introduce Yourself

http://allisone.gaia.com — Sun, 19 Nov 2006 02:36:55 GMT

It's very cool to find this pod (I'm lucky enough to be #150 - the 'join me' Vacancy sign was still on when I was walking by, so I registered real quick!), and read about the other blogging freaks here at Zaadz. I see a lot of common ground and mirror images of myself as I read your posts...

I too am one of those people who knew I was going to be a writer when I grew up, but maybe I just missed something critical about growing up, because here I am 52 already, and until discovering my blogging voice in last few years I haven't written all that much, frankly. A continuously running journal started in the late 1960s, a few broken-hearted poems when my first husband left me back in 1986, and some short stories... nothing to brag about, really. But all those 52 years of experience, oooooo, all that grist for the mill! I figure I've got a huge well of 'material' just waiting to be transformed into catalytic prose. Someday. :-)

Actually I had a huge epiphany about my visions of writing transformative fiction yesterday, but that's for another post. Today, I'm introducing myself as a blogger.

I began dipping my toes into the blogosphere a couple of years ago when I started a collective blog on ecopsychology with colleagues, called Seeds for Thought. I was already editing our online Journal, Gatherings, and an active part of a long-running (10+years) online community of ecopsychologists, and I thought it would be a cool way of showing off some of our better writing and reaching out to the world at the same time. That has been a huge gas - I set it up so we each write to a particular topic relevant to EP - mine is Art & the Environment. I love the subject and it gives me enormous scope, but there's still more I want to write about.

I'm an online communications designer, and had set up several blogs for other people before I started my own, The Beauty Dialogues, but I tell you it's like I am in love for the first time... My blog is right up there with my Mac as far as love-objects go.

It's very challenging as well, because I'm talking about my work and my passions in it, and even though I work for myself, there is still fear that I'll go too far, or be inappropriate, or appear too 'soft' or 'personal' or 'feminine', none of them good words in the industry I've chosen. I wrote this great blog about the subject of unbridling my online inhibitions the other day, and that's helped.

I want to write more - about my writing epiphany, and about a blogging project I just finished for an exceptional client (one of the many amazing people I am privileged to work with), but it feels like I've been writing for a long time now, so I'll stop.

It's great to be here!

Greetings Kosmic Bloggers.

I'm Kent Bye

I've done some work-related blogging re: collaborative documentary editing & healing journalism over at EchoChamberProject.com
And my wife and I maintain a spiritual videoblog over at EbbAndFlow.tv

But I haven't really developed a personal or spiritual blogging voice just yet.
I feel like I need to dedicate more time to connected and communicating rather than just consuming and lurking around.

So I'm bursting at the seems and have some free time so I just posted my first four blog posts over at http://ebbandflow.zaadz.com/blog

Check it out, and I hope that I can find a steady goove along the way.

Of all the instructions in the world, "Introduce yourself" maybe the most difficult for me to interpret and follow. Which self? To whom? For whose benefit?

So, as you can already see, I am that-which-never-shuts-up, and occasionally I experience that-which-never-shuts-up as a lovely, evanescent it-ness that is here and gone, leaving only the lmemory trace of a giggle for anyfragment of being that cares to believe it can hear.

Right.

I'm 52, a self-employed business coach, a smart ass, a grandmother, married (28 years de jure plus 3 de facto) to TCP, a cyclist (exceptt just now I'm recovering from a shoulder injury, and I love to paddle around Puget sound on my red board.

I've had a Web site for then years (now I have several: mollygordon.com, authenticpromotion.com, shaboominc.com, and various random sites in less than conclusive stages of development. My blog is a relatively recent addition, though I've wanted to let it all hang out online for years. I've had a very successful ezine since 1998, and as I often meet myself (who is she?) through the written word and i can hardly bear to write for myself, the ezine was an insufficient conduit.

I have so much to learn about the blogosphere. Since my incipient urge to journal online, this world has emerged as a thing unto itself. I'm wrestling with how to become more conscious and accountable in the collective interior/exterior of the blogosphere, and grappling with issues of time, vanity, intention, impulsivity, technology, etc etc etc ad infinitum.

If I took myself seriously, I'd be in deep do-do. I know because I used to. But that's another story.

Hi Maile --

You might want to drop by the Accidental Entrepreneurs blog for support with that new business.

Eric -- cool sounding project. I have too much on my plate to consider myself an appropriate alpha tester, and I would love it if you would keep me posted as the tool takes shape. As a life and business coach, I can well imagine offering this tool to clients.

Hey everyone!

My name is seth and I'm still in the infantile stages of blogging. I do however intend to improve my blog skills to a limitless end.

I'm actually having trouble editing my last blog, for some reason it just won't let me. I wonder if its because zaadz is still a beta version and many bugs are still being ironed out? If you have the answer please do tell.

I'm also trying to figure out how to post new pod topics. The answer is probably right infront of my face, but I can't see it. If you have the answer...

Anyway I'm glad to be here to share this pod with you all.

May your day shine!!
