In honour of his 208th Birthday (I guess they picked that at random...?), The Domino Project is re-publishing one of his works, "Self-Reliance".
The book " urges readers to trust their intuition rather than conforming to the will of the majority."
To go with that, they are offering a 30 day writing/creating challenge called the Ralph Waldo Emerson Pledge (#Trust30 on twitter). Authors and other inspiring people of our days are publishing a challenge each day to make you think about your life, your goals, your innermost motivation.
The pledge has already started (May 31st), but I only found out about it yesterday. I love a challenge and just at the moment I am very, very motivated to think about my whereabouts in life, so I signed up all the same. On a side note, RWE was born on the same day as me, so I feel a genuine connection and sympathy... ;o)
But I'm a bit unsure about if I should post my answers to the assignements here on the blog. They will be more word-heavy and serious than my usual posts. Since I'm really trying to give the blog a defined line atm (well, working on it.. oO), I'm wondering if these posts would make it seem too topic-mixed on here...
That's why I want to ask you:
What do you think, would you like to read RWE posts? Or should I leave them in my "offline-journal"?
If you have a sec, please go to the fb page and answer my poll, or leave me a comment here, I'd really appreciate to read a lot of opinions!

I think you should post them here. :) It'd be nice to see what you came up with! I don't think I have time to do the challenge : /
I too think you should post them here. Give them a new category and that is fine. I am curious to read all and you often inspire me to think about myself as well.
