Welcome!
Hello everybody and welcome to my new blog. As I've said on Spring Clean Your Life, the website that this blog accompanies, I am in the throes of spring cleaning my life in a major way. I'm closing my business, with a view to working on the internet instead and thus being able to travel more. I'm also moving house, making new friends and sorting out existing relationships. I'm making regular visits to the hospital with skin problems and, during this period of upheaval, I'm struggling to make ends meet. So there's a lot going on for me at the moment!
Sometimes I feel daunted and a bit frightened and other times I feel excited and even elated. It's an education as well as an adventure and I'll record in this blog all the lessons I learn that I think might be useful to other people. If you're embarking on a similar journey, please use the comment facility to share what you learn along the way.

Very good blog, Georgie.
Great to have this space to share 'life spring cleaning' experiences. In a different way, I'm in a 'sping cleaning' mission myself. Let's see what we'll come up with. At the moment I'm starting with the literal meaning: MY HOUSE. After a very very very intense year (in every sense) as you imagine some things have been left behind. Things that you see everyday and exist somewhere in your brain reminding you of your 'forgotten duties'. The little voice repeats how disorganised, forgetful and chaotic you are and, of course, after a while you believe it. Well, end to the voice now. Spring cleaning is the solution (and keeping it tidy...). One of the first steps of the yoga practice (off the yoga mat) is PURITY (saucha) and, as Kimberley Wilson says in 'Hip Tranquil Chick' (really, really funny yet profound yet practical book), you appreciate a clean body by filling it with pure, nutritious fuel; create a soulful, serene environment that nourishes your spirit; and develop an innate internal goodness that helps you distinguish the right from the wrong. It also says that by enbodying purity, you will be also able to turn mistakes into lessons learned, make amends when necessary, and realize when it is best to let go in order to stay pure to yourself.
I like this quote by Mark Twain: 'Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor.'
I find your decision, Georgie, very inspiring; and your choice of sharing your journey trully enlighting.
Thank you very much, Veronica. I'm really pleased you find this blog and site inspiring. Mark Twain is so right!!
I wish you the best of luck with your own spring cleaning, both literal and metaphorical.
