Right now, my blog is down.
I canceled my old hosting account that it was on because I was transferring it over to a newer and better account. I was told by the hosting company that everything would be OK, and that none of the blog posts would be lost. Well… that wasn’t exactly true. I’m hoping that they’ll be able to recover it. I’m pretty sure they will, but it’s been a week and I haven’t heard a peep. Much as I don’t want to admit it, there’s that part of me that is still a little worried…
I’m also completely off schedule on launching the site. I wanted to have it launched and tested and ready for public access by the time I started my new job one week from now. I am now pretty sure that even the test version won’t be ready by that time.
It’s as if I’ve turned this wonderful gem into a “project” with hurried energy and deadlines and all that gotta-get-it-done-right-now that is so prevalent in business everywhere nowadays.
I’m also aware of some agendas that I have going on right now - agendas to “line up” and thus gain favor with certain people who will get me what I want later on as I start to heavily promote Give Away A Dollar A Day.
Woah…
Apply the brakes…
The whole reason that I started Give Away A Dollar A Day was manyfold. To truthfully shift my focus from getting to giving. Unconditionally. With no expectations of anything in return. To have fun and to create the joy of surprise for someone else. To prosper them, too. To let go. Of control. And all agendas and the “what’s in it for me” attitude.
This doesn’t mean that I’ll stop the development of the Give Away A Dollar A Day web site. It’s in my heart to complete it so that others may benefit from its simple ability to joyfully produce miracles.
It does mean, though, that it’s time for me to go back to the basics and to the original reasons of why I began Give Away A Dollar A Day in the first place. To give. Unconditionally. And to create joy. Every day.
Thank you, Spirit, for reminding me.
Blessings,
Todd
