I am looking at re-doing this blog which has become a bit tired in it’s look and feel, and also content. I am still very much committed to it but I realized I was uninspired by the way it looks and it’s layout and colours, and this was partially holding me back from getting more active.
I use the Thesis theme which is truly a great WordPress theme and the guys offer fabulous support, but I feel it’s a bit limited on theme designs (they have three I believe as of today) so I’m looking at just going for a fresh theme but the jury is out right now.
We’ll see what happens on that score.
But in the meantime, I’d love to have to have your feedback about this blog.
What would you like to see posted here?
What do you like about this blog?
What do you dislike about it?
What would you like to see in terms of content? More health posts? More crazy conspiracy theory posts? Posts about deeper spiritual topics?
What about other types of content, insights and information? What would you like to see?
What would brighten your day, or help you on your own path through life when you open your email and see a blog post has been added or you go on to this site?
My own thoughts so far as to what I will blog about…
– Spirituality
– Natural health
– Other alternative / unusual stuff
– WordPress Blogging
And maybe a section on ‘Reena’s diary’ – hmm, that would mean I would have to be really open! Ok, I’m up for it, if you are? I feel also that I have not been as authentic as I have wanted to be, and it’s a bit of a contradiction considering what I post about in terms of spirituality, so it’s high time to get real, as Ali G would say.
I also would like to see if I can build up this blog again as it was once headed a while back. I always wanted to, one day, do work purely from the heart, and of all the possibilities in life, blogging, sharing, writing are the ones that come close to words such as joy and fulfillment. So revamping this blog is part of a much bigger idea. I always believed that in order for life to be truly joyful we have to do work that is not like work, but a labour of love. And for me, sharing from the depths would be that.
I would appreciate your input greatly so do add your thoughts below in the comments. Thank you!
And watch this space. It may well take a while for me to get a new face for this blog, as not only is it a question of time, but I’m pretty picky in this regard and I love every minute of the process. This blog is truly my happy space….that is much more profound than it sounds on face value. I have so much to write….and all those who frequent here are appreciated massively! Don’t give up on my blog because I haven’t!
So have a great day / week / month and I’ll look forward to any feedback you can give.
Love,
Reena Gagneja

Namaste,
I don’t know if it’s possible to use different wordpress themes on different pages of a website, but if it is, you could present the same page contents on a few different pages, using different themes to see what people think (and to see what you think).
One of the problems of this blog is not of your doing, and there is nothing you can do about it because the problem is mine. It concerns the difficulty of making comments when natural language is inadequate to describe feelings – at least inadequate without using paragraphs to describe what feels like a single word feeling.
I suppose this is an extension of the great enigma of the duality of mind and body. Is it me describing I, or I describing me ? My feeling is that it doesn’t matter except when the internal tries to communicate with the external, and the hard work starts. That’s the situation I find myself in now as I try and think of all the good stuff and bad stuff you have previously written, and how it impacts on me.
The good news is that I can’t really remember any particularly bad stuff. Even the ultra weird, like all the conspiracy stuff, was never bad as such. It was really quite entertaining, and a great example of how far from reality some people are prepared to go, and yet it served as a warning that things are not always what they seem. The great shame is that the little nuggets of truth would get totally lost underneath all the grand extrapolations, and misintepretation of innocent events. By all means repost the odd conspiracy story, but don’t over do it unless there is a strong reason to believe the material has a very good chance of being true (Edward Snowdon for instance).
I do have a problem with some of the health stories. There are far too many vested interests in health, and I am very wary about anyone who says “this is good for you” or “this is bad for you”. It takes very little effort to believe that The Big Manufactoring Company will pull the wool over your eyes for the sake of profit, but for many it takes a huge effort to believe that the little guy who makes up bottles of sugar water in his garden shed to protect you from “Big Pharma” is also after your money. There is something, somewhere that is going to kill you, or ruin your health, and it might be almost unique to you. It is interesting to hear others fears, but it’s important to retain some scepticism too.
One thing about this blog that keeps drawing me back to it is the exposure to different belief systems – moral, political. and religeous plus a glorious mix of all of them and more. One ongoing theme is that of enlightenment. I have never understood exactly what it is, and I think that is because there is no exact definition what it is – although many have a precise idea of what they think it is. I take a far simpler idea that enlightenment is knowing now what I didn’t know before…and yet it is sometimes more than just knowledge, and incorporates attitude, or something like it in the mix.
Reading this blog over the last few years has definitely helped me achieve one subset of my idea of enlightenment – sort of ! The exposure to all the stuff on this blog has crystalised what was a growing idea that no one is completely wrong, and no one is completely right, but more importantly it doesn’t matter one way or another. Well maybe there are a few chinks in that idea – it is still hard to accept the completely mad, and the completely convinced, but they are both rare enough to be ignored 🙂
The biggest and most important comment about your blog is thank you for doing it Reena. Love and Light, and may the cheese be with you !
Bill, your comments always require some thinking – which I am very glad to do before you ask!
By all means repost the odd conspiracy story, but don’t over do it unless there is a strong reason to believe the material has a very good chance of being true ——> Yes, good advice. I’m with you on that. Though there is a lil part of me that says ‘what if the conspiracy theories are really the truth!’ What if??
Your scepticism with the health stories is surprising. I guess what I mean by health stories is the more natural stuff (vegetables, fruits etc etc) rather than the conspiracy theories about health which may be what you mean, although one I feel strongly about is cancer and the whole machine behind that.
I am so glad that reading this blog has helped in some way. It is the wonderful bonus of this blog – connecting with others – without my knowing this at the outset.
May the cheese and much love and light be with you also!
PS your idea about different skins on pages is a wonderful one, and maybe some theme developer may come across this idea one day. I am needless to say veering towards the Genesis platform for blogging, but not made quite that final decision yet.
Would like to see spirituality, wellness, alternative health methods. ascension progress news and emerald green healing Gaia colors.
Zena, ok, noted, I will do my best. However I don’t know about ’emerald green healing Gaia colors’ even though I Googled it!
I think your own thoughts about it is good:
– Spirituality
– Natural health
– Other alternative / unusual stuff
– WordPress Blogging
Love Terje
