A Darn Good Look At Living Within Samsara

A Darn Good Look At Living Within Samsara

I don’t think there’s one among us who hasn’t wondered what the “big plan” is for us. Or hasn’t longed to just find the answers that would bring sense and order into our little corner of the world. Each of us, in our own way, seek Life’s instruction manual to help guide us to where we need to be or how to find our way back from darker times.

Living Within Samsara is an educational blog that could be a resource for that quest.

Samsara invites her readers to join her on a journey to find meaning in one’s self and to bring balance to their daily lives. By exploring what may seem to be unrelated themes, she’ll examine earthly issues like codependency, spiritual concepts and metaphysical needs.

Being open about her recovery from alcoholism, Samsara shares her experiences and her advice so that others may benefit. In addition to writing about the well-known Alcoholics Anonymous program, she’s able to inject a little of her own struggles in other posts such as Astral Dream Dark Presence and Done with Alcoholics Anonymous. In fact, I’d say this latter post of hers is a testament to how she continues to break free from the embrace of alcoholism by informing her readers how her AA group failed to meet their objectives. It takes a strong person to not only identify something like that, but to also act on it by deciding to leave the group and seek help elsewhere.

Other topics she covers are:

I really like Samsara’s writing style. Her posts are thoughtful and well-written. And I appreciate her willingness to help others.

A few suggestions would be worth considering:

  • Move the RSS subscription button to the top of the right nav.
  • And speaking of the right nav, there’s a lot going on, particularly with the ads. I’m wondering if they’re getting clicks being far down the page on the articles I visited. Perhaps incorporate them further up the page.
  • Maybe my eyes are getting tired or perhaps it’s my laptop monitor, but the contrast between the text and the brown background I think could be a little stronger for easier reading.

Nothing really major; just minor suggestions that if not acted on won’t be damaging. :)

Why not click on over to Living Within Samsara and check out the informative posts that are there?

    Thank you so much for your well-thought out, generous and very kind review. I am in the process of moving the website and upgrading the engine as well as template so your design suggestions will definitely be implemented.

    [And hopefully I will not have so much going over there on the right-hand side. Google ads aren't serving me well anyway. :) ]

    Thank you so much again!

    Wow, you must have been waiting on my blog because I just posted this minutes ago. :)

    You’re very welcome; I’m glad you like the review. And when I mentioned the right nav elements, I didn’t mean that there wouldn’t be room enough to put in my Darn Good Reviews badge if you, you know, um, wanted to posted it there. ;)

    Haha. I did that seconds after I commented! Yeah I posted it there. :P

    [Which is why i am actively looking for themes lately. I can't have just that one lo-o-o-ng column. It's easily cluttered, you're right. Anyway, I put the badge there and removed two...sitehoppin badges. Hope I don't get scorned for that. j/k]

    How I knew you reviewed so quickly is I had my email client open and so I was sent an email cause your review pinged my blog. :)

    Now I’m gonna RSS this place. I think I might stick around.
