Running Fresh Creation By Myself Again

Another change at Fresh Creation:
Today I decided that I will start blogging by myself again.

The main reason is that I started to notice that I didn’t enjoy editing posts. Since Linton, Ines and Piet were now also blogging at Fresh Creation, I didn’t have the time to write the stories that I find inspiring. Mostly what I was doing was viewing, selecting and editing posts of others. Not very inspiring. So I decided to go back to basics. I will only post those stories that I really want everybody to know about. Post frequency is not something that I will focus on. It’s the quality of the stories that matter, I think.

Loads of thanks to Linton, Ines and Piet!

Thank you for all your efforts, feedback and inspiring stories!

Fresh Creation Gets Personal

Recently I, Martijn van Osch (Fresh Creation editor, blogger and founder), found it more and more difficult to find the true spirit of Fresh Creation in the posts that were published.

As you may know, Fresh Creation is run by 4 international bloggers since June this year. Before that I have been writing Fresh Creation posts by myself since 2005. Allowing others to post at Fresh Creation led to more diverse posts but it also started to mean a lack of focus. It didn’t feel as inspiring as it used to be. To regain inspiration something needed to change. So how do you make posts more inspiring?

I think this can be achieved by dividing posts in 3 parts:

1) The story
2) Why this story inspired me
3) What I hope sharing this story will lead to

The great thing about these 3 items is that each blogger will have to explain why they are sharing that story, why it inspired them and what he or she hopes it will lead to. This way all visitors get to know the people behind Fresh Creation and the posts become real sources of inspiration:
Expressing dreams.

Enjoy!

2 New Bloggers At Fresh Creation… Anyone Else?

To boost the amount of inspiration at Fresh Creation I am happy to announce that 2 new bloggers have joined Fresh Creation. They go by the names of Linton, who has been sending me great post tips for a long time, and Robinhoed, a friend of mine who is responsible for lending me books and dvd’s about conscious living which caused the shift to a more conscious Fresh Creation. Soon I’ll add a ‘posted by’ feature to each blog post so you know who posted what.

Want to share your inspiration?
Should you too want to inspire others and make this world a more beautiful and better place to live then let me know. You are more than welcome as long as your video posts are:
- positive
- inspiring
- challenging people to become aware or think of new ideas
- creative (this can refer to the creation itself, the way something is made or the ideas that someone talks about (or a combination of these))

Want To Share What Inspires You?

Here’s your chance to become a true Fresh Creator by sharing the best inspiring videos out there with the visitors and members of Fresh Creation.

So instead of just browsing through the videos that I’ve been posting for over 3 years, you can start posting your own favourite inspiring videos here at Fresh Creation.

Send me an email with 3 links to videos that you would like to post (make sure I haven’t already posted the videos). I’ll use these videos to check if you understand what Fresh Creation is all about. If there’s a match then I’ll get in touch with you so you can get on the ‘inspiration team’.  ;-)

Off To Spain For A Week

This morning I packed my bags to join my girlfriend and her family in Granada (Spain). The moment this post gets published I’m already in the plane. I have my laptop with me but I only intend to use it for looking up some guitar tabs and watching a movie now and then. But to keep things going at Fresh Creation I pre-posted one post per day for the whole week. So you should still get your fair share of inspiration. Enjoy!

PS If you are living in (the area of) Granada then let me know. I’m always open to meet some Fresh Creators. ;-)

More Posts, No Images

A short message to let you all know that I’ll be posting more videos from now on. At the same time I’ll stop adding images to the posts. Another change: Videos will be published on the homepage.

That means quicker access to more inspiration. Enjoy!
