Blog Day Planner

Setting intentions in anything that you do is very important in the success rate of carrying out any plans. This is the first step in bringing any plans to pass whether it be in business or family or personal life. Just setting a list of plans and steps to paper will not bring it to pass. First, you must set the intention in your mind then in your heart because it really does have to come from a place of passion within you.

Have you ever noticed how easily you are able to focus on and arrange plans say for a wedding of a friend or relative for whom you have a lot of love? Your heart and soul goes into the planning to make it the best event possible. Why is this? Because you are tapping into a passion within to bring forth events outside yourself.

It's almost like being able to perform some kind of magic, yet it is not magic. We all have the capability to achieve astounding things on all levels but first we must feel it, be touched by it then be strongly moved by it.

Have you read any miracle stories? How about stories involving people who have overcome great obstacles to achieve fantastic things? Or stories about recovery from terminal illness or from a natural disaster? These all tap into that same place in the heart that I am talking about...passion....that has to speak to the mind to will action.

Mel Gibson produced a movie called "The Passion of the Christ" because it took passion for Jesus Christ to make the sacrifice he made for all of mankind. That is the type of passion I'm am speaking about. It comes from a deep place of love inside each one of us that has to be tapped into and exercised. To achieve great things you must first desire it, then your heart needs to feel it which tells your mind to will it.

There are some great books on the subject, a few which I have been fortunate enough to have come my way. The Power of the Will was a book written in the very early 1900's. While visiting a friends farm in Ohio she loaned the book to me. She found it at a used book sale and it was quite a find being dated 1904. I read it,then I poured over it absorbing the books contents. I made notes on the precepts taught there and made intentional efforts to practice some of the principles to help develop my will. This book will be part of my fabric now because it has helped unlock that passionate place inside me to do things because they are worth the doing and because my heart tells me so.

Whenever I remember where I packed the book inside the van, I'll dust it off and share some excerpts here. It would be a great study for this blog day planner exercise of planning your blogging or other freelance writing or any business. It will help with personal changes that you desire to make inside your self. I can't wait to make this exciting journey.

My plans for today are fairly simple. Share my thoughts. Write as much as I can on my blogs to catch up. Work on some personal relationships and on rainbow events that move me. Cephas and I spent a very long day in the sun yesterday working on our van getting half a dozen major new parts put on to help us run better. We have a few miles to go with this van and we have realized that to keep it we need to love it and to have the passion enough to work on its complete restoration.

So follow along here as we build our selves, our blogs, our businesses and our van. Share your progress stories with us please on how you are learning to develop the potential that awaits inside you to help you actualize your dreams in life and love and work.

The Midnight Writer

The daffodils are in bloom so that has got to be a sure sign that spring is finally enduring. Yeah! I’m so relieved to be finished with all those blizzards and hail storms but I’m not sure if the high winds are finished for this season. I know the rain has just begun, and in some parts of the country, that is a good thing because certain states really need the water levels to rise.

Either way, I’m ready to start this week off running like the title of this post says. There is a lot of catch up on my to do list. So swing the flags and signal the take off, here I go. Are you ready to play catch up on all those belated spring tasks that you put off?

My goal for this week first and foremost is to achieve the number of posts per blog for all my major blogs, domain blogs and Entrecard listed blogs. That is a total of 12 blogs so let’s do the run down on totals then I can zero in on the particulars.

The main blogs are Mountain Spirit Productions, The Midnight Writer, Blog Day Planner, The Midnight Writers Journal, The Midnight Writer’s Freelance Quest, The Midnight Writers Cafe, The Midnight Writers Secret Portal, Keep It Simple, The Making of a Walking, One Tin Soldier, and Midnight Revelry. Now that’s quite a line up.

Do you have more than one blog? Are you ready to set weekly goals for number of posts to write per week?

This is the first step in organizing your work week if you are a freelance writer to help set the intention and focus for your work week. It is so easy to let it get away from you, I know. There are more tasks than planning and writing involved in the freelance blogging business, as you probably know. I am involved in social networking, ghost blogging, writing on client’s blogs and writing content so I have more than my blogs to schedule in to the day planner. However, this area is the crux of my personal network so I need to build it.

Are you a blogger for fun or profit? Do you maintain more than one blog? Would you share some of your ideas on blog management and advertising and how you come up with ideas for your posts? I would love to have some guest writers on here to share with my readers. If you are interested, just email themidnightwriter1@gmail.com

and I’ll send you an invitation.

In the interest of sticking to my motto “Keep It Simple”, I’ll finish by listing the weekly line up for posts. At the end of the week, I’ll do my best to come back and review how you and I did. You will have to send me your comments in order to participate in this one.

Mountain Spirit Productions- it’s the domain blog and host for all of our network for the Midnight Writer- goal is 5 posts this week. I’m basing the 5 posts on a Monday through Friday schedule.

The Midnight Writer org – a main domain blog. Goal 5 posts.

Blog Day Planner – the second main domain blog. Goal 5.

The Midnight Writer’s Journal – this one is way behind. 5 posts with two reviews on the Midnight Special Spotlight.

The Midnight Writer’s Freelance Quest- 5 posts

The Midnight Writer’s Cafe - my Smorty blog- aiming for page rank and pages cached – 7 posts

Keep It Simple – 3 posts with follow up on previous posts.

Midnight Revelry- 3 posts and a review on Blog Day Planner. Buy the domain this week by Friday.

The Midnight Writer’s Secret Portal – 3 posts with a review on Blog Day Planner.

The Midnight Writers Blogs- 10 posts to update reviews and progress reports on all blogs and to publish news on our network and social networking. Two posts about affiliate marketing and a sponsor.

One Tin Soldier – 5 posts with rainbow gathering updates and follow up on some of our story lines.

If you are following any of these blogs on Entrecard, you will be able to track the progress because you’ll notice the new posts every day when you click on the widget. That should make you smile. I know I click on blogs hoping to see something new.

This brings the total to 59 posts and that is a lot of work.

Each day I awake and tell myself, this is the day that you will work on every project that you intended and you will finish all your lists. Each day my lists are too long and the universe reminds me in so many simple ways that life is to be lived in the moment with some level of spontaneity. With that in mind, I set out to make plans and to set intentions, knowing that I will only be able to do that which is in sync with the universe.

And you know what? That is okay!

So, do you know what the motto of the day is today?


And pray for peace to come on earth.
The Middle East crisis is a sign of the breakdown of our world as a society.

My personal prayer goes out that the wars will end as quickly as possible, like right now!
