Version 1.0 of this site was set up in 2008 as The Deck Chair Diaries on the WordPress.com site. I had discovered the Slow Movement in late 2007 (by ordering Carl Honore s In Praise of Slow by mistake), something neighbors resonated with me and I had noticed in the last few years that I had lost something. I had been building my owning coaching neighbors and NLP training business for the past 6 years and had become obsessed with the idea of success (but hadn’t really defined what that actually was!), I was stressed, flustered and harassed. I had been meditating and been involved in mindfulness and Buddhism since I was 19, but all that had slipped by the wayside
Version 2.0 was much more professional. I paid to get a decent site designed and a nice logo. It was in the depths of the recession and my NLP and Coaching business had dropped off. This gave me the impetus and opportunity to really refocus on what I wanted to do with slow philosophy.
Then all of a sudden my core NLP and Coaching business took off again about 2 years ago and my focus shifted back to that, so I took my own advice about not doing too much and put the blog on Hiatus back in November 2012 (and also, to be honest, after 4 years of blogging neighbors on the subject neighbors of Slow, I ran out of things to say).
I didn t abandon neighbors this blog, I took a break, I fully intended to return to it at some point. In fact I did, in spring last year. But I really didn t know what I was doing it for and wrote about the blogification of my life. That sensation never left me and another year (and a bit) rolled by. TKB Version 3.0
I have noticed that speed has snuck back into my life. I am catching myself hurrying and stressing and become annoyed by things. Of finding myself flustered, harried and grumpy. Of worrying about silly little things. Of not paying enough attention and of only being vaguely aware of time going by. Of being unfocused and scattered. neighbors I can t say when it started or how long it has been going on, it has insidiously crawled its way back into my life.
This neighbors blog is a way to undo that. I want to use it as a reminder and motivator. I said in my last post that I stopped blog because off the blogification of my life ( read the post to understand more), so I really want to avoid falling into that trap again. That is not what this will be about, I am not going around looking for things to blog about. So I really cannot neighbors say how often I will blog, but a goal of once a month should be fair! It is a place to record my flaneuring ( Is flaneur a verb or a noun? Does a flaneur flaneur? And is flaneuring the correct past tense of the verb?)
It is going to be professionally personal , what do I mean by this. Personal, because it is record and reminder to myself neighbors to keep going slowly. Professional because I am offering neighbors suggestions and ideas and I will occasionally be hawking my wares. I hope that is OK? I do have to make a living.
It is updated when I have something to say, rather than trying to say something just to update the blog. Learn more about Slow Blogging here .
