I don’t drop a bunch of comments, but i did some searching and wound up here QUOTES Jane’s Mindfulness Journal. And I do have 2 questions for you if it’s allright. Is it just me or does it seem like some of the remarks come across like they are coming from brain dead folks? 😛 And, if you are writing on other online sites, I’d like to follow anything fresh you have to post. Would you make a list of the complete urls of your public pages like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?
if you are really interested, I have a new ongoing blog where I post almost daily – inspirational articles and thoughts:

Good post. I study something more difficult on totally different blogs everyday. It would always be stimulating to learn content material from other writers and observe slightly something from their store. I want to make use of some with the content material on my blog whether you don’t mind. Natually I provide you with a hyperlink in your net blog. Thanks for sharing.Hmm it looks like your site ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I had written and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to everything. Do you have any suggestions for first-time blog writers? I’d certainly appreciate it.
Hi
Your comment is most appreciated. And I would be most grateful if you would link to my blog as this would make it available to even more people. As far as writing – My suggestion is first of all to keep a notebook always handy where you can write down random thoughts as they come up. From these, you will usually be able to write full posts, especially if they concern your own personal life and experiences. Good luck to you and Thanks 🙂
You might also like to know that I now have a new blog where i make almost daily postings…same type of inspirational articles and posts, but on a regular basis. Perhaps you’d like to check it out and link to it also.

I needed to send you this bit of observation to be able to say thank you over again with the gorgeous advice you’ve documented on this site. This has been simply pretty generous of you to provide openly just what many people might have advertised as an electronic book to generate some dough for themselves, particularly since you could possibly have tried it in case you desired. Those tactics also served like the fantastic way to recognize that other people online have the identical eagerness like my own to find out great deal more regarding this problem. I think there are a lot more enjoyable opportunities ahead for individuals who read carefully your website.
It is my pleasure to be of service and I get great satisfaction when people like you take the time to comment. If I have been of assistance in even some small way, I am pleased. Perhaps you can let others know about this blog, and you might enjoy my new blog as well:
http:/notinindia2012.wordpress.com

hi!,I like your writing very much! share we communicate more about your post on AOL? I require an expert on this area to solve my problem. May be that’s you! Looking forward to see you.
My pleasure to be of assistance if I can. Send me your email with more details or write directly to my email with your contact details and I will get in touch with you

When I originally commented I clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now every time a remark is added I get 4 emails with the same comment. Is there any means you can take away me from that service? Thanks!
I’m sorry to hear you are having problems, but I honestly don’t know how to help you. Perhaps you should write directly to WordPress and ask them for assistance.
Hope you get this problem solved.
with love light and JOY
Jane
First off I would like to say great blog! I had a quick question which I’d like to ask if you don’t mind. I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your thoughts prior to writing. I’ve had a tough time clearing my mind in getting my ideas out there. I do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are generally wasted simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or hints? Appreciate it!
Hi
Thanks for taking the time to comment. I don’t actually sit down to write. I post when I already have something which I wish to share. Comes to me during meditation, or through an experience I may have just had, but it is never planned. And as you can see, I have been doing much less posting lately (which I regret sometimes), as my life has been extremely hectic these days and don’t find the time, even when something DOES come to me. Sorry I couldn’t be of more help. Ah, one last thing. I always have paper and pen handy, even near my bed, so that if something pops into my awareness, I can note it immediately before it disappears and then contemplate further at a later time.
All the best to you
with love light and joy
Jane
Outstanding article not to mention very easy towards understand explanation. How do I just do receiving permission towards submit part of this article with my future news letter? Giving suitable consumer credit rating back to you typically the author not to mention link in the web site would not be considered trouble.
you can use any of my posts in your newsletter…am always pleased if something I’ve written can serve others in some way. Just let me know what you have used and where it is used so that I can follow it. And of course a link to my blog would be most appreciated
with love light and joy’
Jane
