Why "Untaught Lessons"
I have been writing, in the traditional sense of the word, for many years but never really shared or published any of my work. Twelve months ago though I delved into the science of "Blogging" using Blogger and confronted my fears of having my thoughts and experiences out in the world and haven't really looked back.
When posed with the question of Why do I want to publish my writings the honest answer was to share my experiences with others. You see writing for me was the easy part strangely enough finding a title for my blog proved a little harder. After much discussion and deliberation I came up with the title "Untaught Lessons" on the basis of what I have published to date revolved largely around my own personal development from situations I have been exposed to and in large lessons that were not taught or never experienced for what they were.
In my conversations with many of my family and friends I hear that the lessons I have found in my life are not unique, however at the same time the way they are presented are always uniquely individual. So in sharing them I am hoping to show others that opportunities to learn life lessons come in many shapes, sizes and forms and whether it be through your relationships with others, through your work or just in a journey to the cinema (strange but true).
The picture at the top of this page was taken by a friend of mine over a year ago, and in putting this site together and reviewing the images I had to choose from this one resonated the most. The reason, well it shows the soiled feet of an adult and the clean feet of a child, quite profound however the intention behind this photo was never this, I know this because its me in the picture.
Feel free to enjoy my blog and if I can ask a favour, if any of it resonates with you please share your thoughts or my blog with others around you, it does make a difference. You are also invited to join my Facebook Page for more daily thoughts and shared links.
