Is there anybody out there?


Its day five of my current combination of remedies and sadly there are no signicant changes or effects to report.
Its great to see that I am getting comments on my posts, even if some of them are off the point and from family members but isn't that what blogging is about.
What's the point in doing it if no one is reading it or commenting?
I know I said that this blog was about my experiences with flower essences but there has to be more.
There was nothing really to report yesterday and there isn't much to report today.
So its also about my blogging journey. Right now I know very little about it, in fact I know very little about the world wide web.
I have a little knowledge of Html and I manage to look after my own website (mostly its trial and error).
Can I commit to updating regularly or will I get bored after a while?
How can I get more people to visit and comment?
And will I come out of it all with my reputation intact?
There is a certain amount of personal exposure involved in blogging and as the type of girl who wears her heart on her sleeve, I fear I may be putting myself in a very vulnerable position.
But I am also a girl who likes to dive headfirst into the unknown see Hello World

My current plan for getting more people to visit is by good old fashioned bribery and then hopefully word of mouth.
If all else fails I'll spread a rumour about my blog, have you ever noticed how quickly and how far bad news or gossip seems to spread?

Day 3 and a whole lotta wee


This is day three of my essence combination and the Grey Spider flower is kicking in. This is an essence for terror, panic and deep rooted fears. Grey Spider Flower works on the base chakra. This chakra governs the kidneys and the adrenals which might explain the symptoms I have been having today.
I have had to make frequent trips to the loo, fear is related to the kidneys. I have also had a dry mouth and the feeling of a lump in my throat. As I used to suffer from anxiety, I recognise this as Globulus Hystericus. I did feel panicky today so I'd say my adrenals are affected in some way. Last night I was dreaming about flying to Australia (I have always wanted to go but am not a good flyer, I'm not afraid of flying, i'm afraid of crashing and dying, I guess its working on these fears) the plane lost control but landed safely.
Is all of this connected, what's your opinion?

Help, Is adding a stat counter in bad taste?

As you can all see at the top right hand side of this page I have added a quite noticeable stat counter. There are varying opinions on stat counters and I have been told by one person in particular that
"stat counters are not good internet taste"

However, as a child of the eighties and having spent most of my teens with a shaggy perm, good taste is not important to me (if you don't believe me check out my profile under music).
I would also like to point out that I could have cheated by starting the counter at a higher number to make myself look more popular and interesting (I am, honestly).
My reasons for this are simple, I want to challenge 2 things GOAL SETTING and POSITIVE THINKING. My goal is to have that number at 5,000 by Christmas.
This seems an enormous task considering how low it is now so I could do with some help.
If I haven't bored you to tears and you find what I have to say even slightly interesting, then please tell someone else about my blog.
Thanks

A Sunshine Waffle!

So as I already explained, I am taking a combination of 7 Australian Bush Essences.
One of these essences is Sunshine Wattle which is recommended for SAD or depression. The positive results of taking this essence are joy, hope and optimisim.
I have to say, today, I am in great form altogether. I do feel quite positive and optimistic.
My Question is this: Is my good mood as a result of taking sunshine wattle or is it as a result of the fantastic sunshine that we are having in Mullingar today?
I guess time will tell. Lets see if I feel so positive when starts to rain, which it will do sooner or later (probably sooner as its ireland.... now thats not very positive, is it?) (:

Hello World

So blogging is the new going out.
Well not quite, but according Westmeath County Enterprise Board and theIrish Internet Association blogging is the way forward in business. I attended a seminar yesterday with 4 great speakers, who inspired me to start a blog. Athough a lot of what they said went way over my head (I'm totally computer illiterate, wouldn't know an RSS from an RIP) I chose to ignore the good advice of researching blogs for a while, and jumped straight in as a blog virgin.

A few warnings before you continue down this page
!!!!!! STOP HERE !!!!!
if you are offended by bad spelling and grammatical errors

I couldn't resist the temptation to talk about my 2 favourite things, Flower essences and myself (and not necessarily in that order either). For those of you who are familiar with the work of Dr Bach you will be aware that I should have taken a dose of impatiens instead of diving headfirst into the unknown.
And that's what its all about, my flower essence journeys (and my ongoing battle with the Candida Monster)
The combination that I am taking for the next 3 weeks is:

Slender Rice Flower
Grey Spider Fower
Bluebell
Boab
Sunshine Wattle
Little Flannel Flower
Bush Gardenia

I promise to give regular updates on the effects both good and bad.

You can find out more about what each of these remedies are for on the Australian Bush Flower site

So back to business and shameless self promotion (another interest of mine) for those of you who are lucky enough to have never experienced the delights of Candida visit my website for a range of yucky symptoms

So that's me started, hope the template is not too tacky for some people (you know who you are Mr M.Neylon)
Enjoy.
