I’m writing “my story” because I feel a very strong calling to extract and share the value of the stories I’m holding before letting them go. Underneath this lies a strong but subtle tug toward spiritual freedom. It’s not the only tug; therein lies the challenge.
I’ve done some hard things in my life, but this has got to be the hardest. Though it may sound simple enough, it’s become an extremely challenging and lengthy process for me. Before I can even begin writing, there is a mountain of work to do, and as I strive to move forward, life keeps happening. With each step or two gained, I seem to lose a step or two and find progress to be awesomely slow… as if on a treadmill.
Like in the movie Groundhog Day, my own road to emancipation is a long and cyclical one. Ironically and mostly coincidentally, I happen to be doing this work largely at a treadmill desk! Hence, the name of the blog.
Since this is clearly going to take some time, I created this blog as a space to share a post or two while writing my story. Time will tell how much I’ll be using it.
To succeed with my writing, I need to remain super focused, keeping as much of my attention on “The Work” as I can. Since I also have to keep myself and my family afloat during the long process, my other sincere hope for this blog is that it can help us sustain while I do this work. Since I’m walking my life purpose, and since my intention is to bring value to the world, it would make most sense if this could also, somehow, be my job. Progress would be much more direct that way.
This is where I invite you all into my story. :) As I go, I intend to offer relevant items of value. Anyone interested in supporting my work, or in some interesting items, will be helping me deliver my offering to the world.
I genuinely feel like I have real value to share in this work. That said, there’s an even deeper purpose in play as well. The releasing of my story also clears me for a new beginning – one in which I’ll be free to serve with less encumbrances.
