When I was renovating my old blog, ‘Feelings’, I was looking for a name that could convey the essence of my new blog in one word. My new blog would stand for positivity, transformation, self-love, happiness and energy.
Metanoia fit the bill to a T!
Metanoia stands for a change in one’s heart, mind, soul and way of Life. The kind of change I wished to bring in myself, and in my Life.
We have but one Life, and living it to the fullest, working towards fulfilling our dreams, as well as helping others along the way is how it should be lived.
And, that’s what I intend to do through my blog. Give back the love that I have received in the past few years and the blessings I receive in abundance every day!
I intend to do it by writing on topics related to health and fitness, food and nutrition, and sharing motivational posts, the kind we all need to keep going on this journey called, Life.
There’s no place for negativity here. You won’t find any rants or diatribes against the so-called “toxic” people as well as our society, which can be quite difficult to fathom, at times.
There’s already enough negativity in our world. Spreading positivity through our words and our actions is what’s really needed today. Something which I wish to attempt through my blog.
Metanoia also shares real life stories of Heroes who exist amidst us; who go out of their way to help people in distress and, who would rather do their duty towards their brethren quietly and stay away from the public glare. Heroes who consider it their moral responsibility to reach out to those in need.
The posts on Food and Nutrition aim at entertaining as well as informing my readers about the right kind of diet one should follow. As I said, this is the only Life we have been blessed with. Taking care of our health through proper diet and exercise needs to be made a priority.
This is the very first A to Z Blogging Challenge Metanoia has participated in, and hopefully not the last one! Actually, I am very sure I will be participating in the next A to Z in April’19, as I have already begun thinking about the possible topics I can work on!
All thanks to Blogchatter, Blog-A-Rhythm, Write Tribe, Twitter as well as Facebook and Instagram, Metanoia has been receiving a good viewership since the 1st of April.
It’s humbling to know there are people who can relate to my words and share their experiences through their comments. Gives me a morale boost, as well as the satisfaction that I am going in the right direction.
I hope you find Metanoia a wonderful place to visit. Your words give me the motivation I need to keep going on this journey.
Thank you for your visit!
It’s truly an honor to have you here!
Love,
SHILPA…
My theme for the A to Z Blogging Challenge is all about my blog, Metanoia, and my blogging journey from the time I started, 5 years ago. The lessons I learnt, the tips and tricks I picked up from fellow bloggers and the guidelines I could have used back when I began.
You will find all of my A to Z posts here.
Your blog is a happy warm and fuzzy place where one finds creative art and positive words everytime. Kudos on the name as its just Perfect!! Wish you all the best for loads of success with the blog and otherwise too 😉

Wow! I love the sound of some words… Serendipity and Azure are my favourites. I have a feeling that Metanoia is soon going to make it up there…esp since it has such a wonderful meaning as well! A well-written post filled with positivity. Sending you some right back. 🙂 Will visit again.
