The Final Countdown

Well, after a year of humming and hawing, it’s finally happening. LFS Introducing… will be letting someone else to take the floor this Sunday. i.e. TOMORROW!!!!!!

The simple fact is I love hearing stories, and truly believe that everyone has a story to share.

Sharing stories helps people…

it gives us hope…that we’re not the only one, that we can get through some of the challenges we’re facing, that good can come out of hardship.

it inspires us…to make the world a better place, that maybe there’s a way we can be part of a restoration process.

it helps us learn…to gain a new perspective, to have a little knowledge about something we maybe hadn’t thought too much about before, to understand where someone else is coming from.

I’ve set up another blog where you’ll be able to find all the posts as they go online at www.lfsintroducing.wordpress.com and you  can connect on Twitter by following @LFSIntro

Please, please, please if you would be willing to share about what you’re passionate about – whether that be your job, what you are studying, what you do in your ‘spare time’, a book you’ve written, music you are creating, the community you are creating – get in touch!! Leave a comment on this post, and I can e-mail you. I would so love to hear from you. :)

LFS Introducing… getting ready for lift off!

I managed to create a blog button. Can’t work out how to do that wee box thing with the HTML code so other people can put one on their blog/website or whatever should they so wish. So here it is…

The first LFS Introducing… post should be up next week. I got an e-mail from my first LFS guest, and am so excited. Have I mentioned that already? I will confess that I came close to getting a little bit emotional when I read the e-mail, I could sense the passion in what this person has written.

Please if you can (and of course want to) spread the word on your blog, on Twitter…because this is not about me. I don’t WANT it to be about me. It’s about us coming together, hearing from other people, learning and opening our eyes to things. Connecting. Supporting each other. Interceding on behalf of others.
