What is the first thing you remember – ever? Take your time – but be real. Don’t skip over what you really remember – grab on to your authentic first memory. It should be a specific moment – a one-time incident that might begin with the words “I remember one time...” or “Once when I was...”
Got it? Okay. Now consider this: You’ve thought about this memory before now – probably many times – or at least several times over your lifetime. Am I right? What makes this particular moment instead of so many others rememorable for you?
By the way, keep in mind that memory is never random; there are no accidental memories. What you remember you remember for a reason. And hey....figure that out and you’ve really got something. Then you will be able to access your worldview...how you’ve made up your mind; how you keep your mind…and how you are mindful of those things that guide your choices everyday.
Think about that for awhile....and while you are thinking about that, write your memory in first person, present tense. Begin figuring out what's write with you.

You know I am still skeptical don't you?? But the joy, many times, is in the journey, and I look forward to trying to access my worldview.
Ah, you worked on the background! A lighter background is supposed to be easier to read from. But I found the gold text on the black background to be fairly easy to read.
I'm so glad you are blogging now. I hope that more of your regular thinkwriters will come around and offer their comments as well--maybe some of them will even catch the blogging fever!
