Morning's Nostriches :-) !

I woke up this morning with the quote I feel asleep with yesterday 's night. "Do something today that your future self will thank you for." from Sean Patrick Flanery.

What are you guys doing today that your futur you will thank yourself for ?

From my side, just getting online here is something special ! I almost haven't touched my computer for 5 years. And now, I have spent at least 10-15 hours in front of it since I have signed up on Nostr ! Hope it will not becoming addictive and I will be able to find a balance Nostr / family ! But at least, I have added something new in my life since I was committed to my family only.

Today, I'm going to get out all my blogging stuff. When I was younger, I used to dream of being a full time blogger.

I had several blogs, a YouTube channel, and several (big and not so big... between 100 only and 40K) communities on Facebook on different subjects like budget management, minimalism, travel, bitcoin.

So I bought myself a super smartphone that shoots in 4K, an Osmo mobile to help me stabilise my videos, a microphone and even a teleprompter ! In short: a whole lot of stuff to shoot videos like a pro. I also bought myself 'Antidode', a programme to check my spelling mistakes when writing blog posts.

Today, I'm going up to the attic and digging out all my stuff that's been in storage for 5 years.

5 years is a long time. But for me, it's gone in a fraction of a second. It's like I've never left my computer or social networks. I was totally addicted in the past. I got a long detox !

But, now, it's time for a new project and I want to tell myself and you, to embrace today (which happen to be by chance monday, the perfect day to start something new!) as a chance for new beginning. Today can shape a life that brings you joy.

Consider what actions you can take today to better align yourself with your true purpose. These steps need not be monumental. And this is what I am doing : a step by step journey. With very little steps. For me, going to the attic and take back my blogging stuff or even reaching out to someone who shares the same values as me can make a difference.

Life is full of uncertainties and unexpected challenges that may come our way. Instead of viewing them as setbacks, let's see them as opportunities for growth. Regardless of what occurred last week, last year. Let's all remember that we hold the power to let go and focus on the future.

I'm feeling a lot of excitement and joy at having this new project.

And I hope you'll be part of the journey!

Wishing you a fantastic Monday ahead!

With Love,

Roxane

This summer we’re trying 5 mediation with the kids. At minimum it’s 5 minutes of quiet time with the little ones.

Roxane 2y ago

Which meditation are you using ? And what are the age of your kids ? I have been practising Vipassana and I do rememerber that the place I was use to go offer" Anapana course " for kids around 8yo.

Manbyt 2y ago

They’re 5 and 8 and it’s the 5yo who’s been pushing us to meditate. I’ve followed vipassana for periods, but with the kids I simply have them sit still and listen to their breath. I’d be curious to find out how they teach meditation to kids.

Ohhh vibes 🤩🤩

I love this and I'm super excited and looking forward to seeing all your content come through nostr 💯

nostr:npub10awzknjg5r5lajnr53438ndcyjylgqsrnrtq5grs495v42qc6awsj45ys7 is this the kind of stuff we should start considering using Habla for?

I'm trying to imagine what blogging can look like for us future of blogger people 💜🤞🫂⚡️

💯

What a lovely journal note. It would look even more beautiful with some formatting and maybe images and embeds along the post.

Habla allows you to do just that. Plus with Highlighter you could embed favorite quotes right into your blog. Moreover such content would be saved on your dedicated blogpost page and won’t be lost under millions of “kind-1” twitter-like notes.

This would require a bit of getting used to, but it’s surely worth it!

Hello Tony!

I tried Habla yesterday but had some problems... With my mum-brain, I get overwhelmed very easily with things that don't works as I wish. It's arlready a kind of miracle that I have been here already three days in a row ;-)

In fact, I can't add the relays in habla (" application error " ) so I don't get any notifications or even from my personal posts published on Iris.to.

But sure, you are right, ... a bit of text formating would be necessary ;-) I also hope to publish videos. thanks for the links. I am going to study it :-)

Tony 2y ago

Hi Roxane, I see you are currently connected to 7 relays and they may not be able to efficiently broadcast and fetch a considerable amount of notes. As a minimum I’d suggest you to add the following three: wss://relay.damus.io/ , wss://nostr.mutinywallet.com/ , wss://relay.snort.social/

I would also get rid of some if you feel like this many connections overload your device.

A good practice would be also connecting to the nostr.wine relay and filter.nostr.wine. It is paid, but we’ll worth it’s money.

You can find out more info on relays in my guide here: https://lnshort.it/nostr-relays

It’s quite a technical topic, but not as complicated as may seem.

As for Habla, it currently broadcasts notes to the relays you are connected to. Adding or removing relays on your preferred browser will change the settings for Habla as well. An option to change your relay setup on Habla is on the roadmap. Also Habla only displays long-form posts, so you won’t see the short notes or corresponding interactions there.

You can find more Nostr related guides in my blog here: https://habla.news/tony

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions

Roxane 2y ago

Thank you so much Melissa :-) I will go and check Habla again ! Are you also publishing there ? Or do you have a plugin that link your own personal blog to Nostr ?

melissa 2y ago

I'm so tired I haven't created a lot by way of blogs lately. I've been accumulating content for a long time and publish to my blog when people ask me questions that take a long time to answer 😆

I also am investigating Habla but haven't gone deep yet. I need to carve out a bit of non distraction time to really get into it! I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with 🤩

Roxane 2y ago

lol, I understand...

I am reading you blog and I see you have been to sleep deprivation with your kids too when they were smaller... Sending you a virtual hug. And whish you (and me) to have more sleep and more no distraction time soon :-)

melissa 2y ago

Yes 🙌 That's awesome, thank you for reading 🙏🏼🙏🏼

And yes, waiting for the day my youngest decides to sleep. For number 3, he didn't sleep well until he was about 2.5 eeek 😆

Roxane 2y ago

My 4yo doesn't sleep at all... It's almost three and she has already 5 wakes up... I am waiting in her bed for her to fall asleep back 😴😅

melissa 2y ago

Sending you big hugs 🤗

Ivan 2y ago

Good morning! That's exciting, look forward to see what you put out there!
