Blown Away

I am taken back by the amount of conscious, solution based communion I have bared witness to- on the web over the past couple hours. I would love to be able to create a little brain map like flow sheet to guide you in the direction from which I started and where upon the way I visited.  I am going to try my best to throw the link out in order on this page before I have to head out the door and get my son from school. (3 minutes) I will elaborate and help connect the dots after I return.

I started here: http://www.diversityrx.org/sitemap

This here is an epic blending of perspective: http://scaoda.state.wi.us/docs/diversity/DiversityAODAandCulturalCompetence.pdf

Check 'em out and let me know if you are as impressed as I am.

The above document is the one that really sealed the deal, the honesty \that each ethnicity is speaking from while addressing cultural diversity is so concentrated however this is the first time after reading something that is connected to such pain, abuse, neglect, denial, ignorance, genocide, prejudism etc. that I feel some hope in an outcome that will be healing. 

This site has everything: 

 Laws, regulations, guidance, standards, accreditation requirements, and advocacy strategies related to cultural and linguistic competence. Includes analysis, reviews, and descriptions.

And then there was .....me.

I have so much blog material I feel guilty not producing.  If I counted all the blogs I have across all my profiles I'd be safe to say I have somewhere near 28 or so. keeping things in one place is not a strong suit for me. I go and make it difficult by compartmentalizing by subject or by facet of being. I have some that are completely anonymous, some that aren't even open to public view. I have all kinds of what I call "project blogs" where the page is dedicated to one thing. For example:  Lists of all kinds. Job opportunities. Arts and Crafts. Noteworthy compilations of weblinks. And on and on and on.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    

So in essence I am like a bee floating around from flower to flower pollinating each as they call out to me. I have a tendency to  become critical against the way I have chose to do something. I am trying to stay outside of that mind frame right now. Here I went and added another blog because it "feels" like all the other ones under this profile just didn't fit me alone.

I mean the David Family Blog is as it sounds, then the kids each have their blog, and then there is Kidipedia, and then my experimental blog where I compile things worth "experimentation."

AH HA I got it.

I see what it is that I am longing for, a more holistic approach to my writing. I would love to be able to have it all in one place. I would also like to be able to fight against the urge to become contemptuous and withhold expressing myself when I am overly aware that my online presence is fractured.

So there is the AH HA, but where is the solution? I wish I could format the blog where it had a toolbar along the top with different titles that I could customize that would go to different categories of my writing. Then I would more so feel like I am getting somewhere with all the posts being localized instead of spread throughout the webs. HMMMMM maybe I will try that.

Maybe I should just delete all other blog profiles after transferring each post from there to here.

I don't have to show them all, I can keep certain posts private. Yep. That's whats up.  Gonna do it now.
