How cool would it be to have a way to automatically record all your thoughts?
It has happened to me so many times that I would be doing something away from the computer and all these great sentences and thoughts would get into my mind. Good ideas to blog about, interesting questions and different views, only to find they had vanished into thin air as soon as I turned on the old laptop.

I have notebooks and bits of paper just about everywhere you can imagine. The living room, kitchen and lately even in the bathroom; there is nothing like a relaxing shower to have my mind wonder off. My purse is filled with quick notes dotted down on napkins and the same goes for my car.

All these notebooks and bits of paper are filled with short keyword phrases that I can’t seem to be able to put together once I finally sit down and start typing. They are only causing more clutter and frustration.

Those wonderful sentences that lifted my spirit while still inside my head, turn into dry and empty string of words without a soul…

The day I bought this domain I thought it would serve me as a spot to collect all these random thoughts, a fixed place where I could gather all the information and advice found on the Internet and felt was interesting.

But after blogging only for a short period of time, it feels like that initial goal just is not enough anymore, or maybe it is because the process of growth has already started kicking in and I’d better catch up fast. At least that is how it feels to me.

The everlasting search for new input and knowledge has put my mind on overload, but at the same time I feel so enriched when I stumble upon a really awesome blog packed with little gems. Many times they have information on how to improve the quality of blogging, SEO tricks, design how-to´s or newbie blog no-no´s, making me laugh inside about my own stupidities.

The posts that really inspire me are the ones that give me a sense of recognition, letting me know there is actually a real person sitting on the other side of the screen, no matter how far away you can almost feel their passion for what they do, and reading between the lines you realize they really care about what they send out into the world.

And by doing so, they make you go back in time, read stuff they have written weeks, months or even years ago, not wanting to miss out on a single word. Every time you go back to their blog, you just hope there will be a new fresh post to enjoy and think about and if there isn’t, you know you are given some extra time to read through their archives, before taking in more freshly written content.

Today I had to think about the goal I have with my blog, and while the road hasn’t yet been completely set nor clarified, I know in my heart what I desire this blog to become: A Blog with a Soul, reaching out to others and maybe even touch them with my words.

I am convinced I will get there, one post at a time.
