Fear - Inertia -- What Stops You?

As you may have noticed I have not been posting very much lately. I have the worst possible excuse -- fear. A couple of months ago I received a letter from someone who had read one of my articles on the web site. She took great exception to it and was very verbally abusive. I do not expect that everyone will agree with what I write or publish. I have had letters in the past that questioned why I wrote something. I have also had letters that thanked me for my view point.

I am not a doctor nor do I claim to diagnose or cure any condition. I write about the natural health benefits available to everyone in this world. I take a positive approach to any disease. Yes, I understand pain and suffering but I do not focus on that pain. I believe that most people want something to believe in, to focus on, that can help them get better - get beyond the pain.

However, what her letter did was make me question my style of writing. It caused me to go back and look at some older articles. I hope I have improved my writing over these years, looking at some of the older articles - I needed improvement. I also found some pages that came up as errors when the link was clicked - my web site needed some long overdue maintenance.

With all the distractions in my life including work at the store, family drama and a broken swimming pool, I have done nothing. It is that over whelming--- too many things--- that causes inertia because it is easier to do nothing than to pick a problem and start solving it.

So today I start again. I gathered up my herbal supplements and actually took them. I ate a proper meal and did some exercise. I am posting to my blog - at least one of them. I deleted the letter from my email so I cannot go back again and again and read it. I welcome letters from my readers - even the ones that disagree with me. But, should I ever again get such an abusive email I will immediately delete it, forget it and continue writing about what I know about. And I will continue to write with a positive outlook and the possibilities available to change disease to health. Oh, and I am slowly getting all those broken links fixed.

And I apologize to you and to myself for allowing 1 email to upset my apple cart to the degree that it did.

until next time - smile
