The Sanitara Blog is about my personal journey, a journey of self discovery and personal development, in essence, a spiritual journey to freedom, which began in 2003. It has been created some 7 years along the way, though past writings appear in the archives to give depth to this rollercoaster ride that has gradually brought me to greater happiness than I have ever known before.
The journey began with the collapse of my world as I saw it, the shattering of the mirage or dream that was my life when I lost everything material in a business failure that had me wanting to literally evaporate, but one step short of suicidal. For years I struggled with debt, not knowing when I would be free and find the life I really wanted, a life that had escaped me before, even during many years of success.
Now in my 8th year of that journey, this blog takes up the journey at the point where there seems to be light at the end of the tunnel yet the journey is, of course, never-ending. Indeed, this blog is itself a major part of that light as it forms part of a greater plan for online awareness of my journey and my other writing. It brings together all the things I have done “on trust” in the past few years, especially since my arrival in Thailand, seemingly to little effect until now when it has all come together unexpectedly. I am finally doing what makes my heart sing, namely writing about my experiences in the hope that other people makes this journey if they want, but without all the pain along the way. The blog a heart-felt expression of the ups and downs along the way, “wart ‘n all”.
At 50 years of age I became a writer, having spent the previous 25 years as a commercial lawyer (latterly internet specialist), giving up everything from my former life in the UK to follow my heart with a simple commitment that started my journey of self discovery in 2003: “to have the best life I possibly can”. So it was that on 25th September 2008 I left the UK for good and to start a new life in Chiang Mai, Thailand where I met and now live with my very loving and caring partner, Thanphisit ("Than").
