Introduction

The first 35 years of my life were spent living in a self-constructed box, established to keep me safe, restrict my experience of life, ensure my emotional world was as smooth as possible. It did not work, but it was “existing” in the best way I knew. Since that time I have been on a journey of exploration and discovery, opening up to my inner world, living more fully in the outer world, and connecting with my authentic self with greater ease. Each defence mechanism I have removed has exposed me to more life, but the deconstruction process also creates rubble, stirs up dust, and may leave me stumbling for a while as I learn a new way of Being.
The confusion and chaos is what I refer to as fog. It is a necessary aspect of personal growth and development. It is to be embraced and engaged with, and appreciated for the learning it offers. Fog is a call to get more intimate with oneself. Attempting to push on, move forward fast when shrouded in fog is likely to end with injury or losing yourself. Fog invites you to slow down, be still, take stock of your surroundings. More specifically it is an invitation to explore within, connect with and love Self, and establish a solid foundation to move from once the fog has cleared.
My intention with this blog is to expand on the idea of appreciating the fog by sharing my insights as I get them, drawing on past or emerging experience to solidify my concepts. I am also exploring the interrelationship of sharing my ideas and working with what that creates in others and returns to me. I am on a journey and this blog is part of it.
