This blog is about me, but it really isn't about me

As Wayne Dyer says in his book, Inspiration: Your Ultimate Calling, living in inspiration is really living in Spirit. And living in Spirit, I'm learning that my true gifts and talents are not about me or the work that I do, but about letting go and letting Spirit flow through me. I've been taught this for a long time, and despite how much my mentor has ingrained it into my brain, it seems that only now is it really sinking in.

Looking back, some of my happiest and proudest moments were those times I let go. Just yesterday as I was packing up and preparing for my trip and struggling around to fulfill whatever commitments I had, when I let go and let the day (or Spirit) take me, I found unexpected moments of joy, whether it was the delicious tamale and pupusa I ate after stopping at the Mi Tierra Farmers Market (for the low low price of $2.50) or letting my footsteps do the walking once I was in New York and, while I regret missing the opportunity to meet with friends, I got to see a new project by Hay House of some inspirational movies and meet director Michael Goorjian.

More importantly, I got glimpses of what I need to do in an even more concrete way. And I now feel even more inspired to tell the story (and stories) I need to tell, which is part of why I'm starting this blog now.

Torn between two blogs

New York City -- well, actually, Brooklyn

I know I already have a blog, but I'm starting this new one because, while I do love food and travel and everything yummy in life, I would really like to capture those inspirational moments in life, which seem to be happening more and more every day.

I'm torn, though. I've already got an audience, and I notice I get the most feedback when I do write about those moments of inspiration. But I also don't want to throw people completely off-topic. So, perhaps I may cross-polinate some posts here and there.

If you are a reader of Go Gastronomy, would you mind letting me know what you think?
