Hello

Dear blog friends.

There's a lot changing/happening in my life and unfortunately that has silenced my writing a bit. I feel so afraid to commit words here because in some ways I am a believer that you get back more of what you release into the world. And right now I don't know what I want...so I don't want to release anything. It's a "Be careful what you wish for" kind of thing.

I hope that makes sense.

I hate being silent here, because this blog...and the community it creates for me has become a home. And I don't want to let anyone down. Mainly myself.

If you have any ideas on how I can help my mind to get re-involved with writing and sharing a bit...please pass them on.

I could use a little motivation right now.

Until then, please keep taking a look at the other blog project I am happily involved in at www.bepurdy365.blogspot.com

My camera has become a cherished and constant companion for me. My use of it evolves every day.

Happy Fall!

Jamie

I think you have the right idea. Sometimes you just need to step away. It's ok. We'll be here when you're ready to come back. :)

we all go through periods when we don't want to talk about what is really in our heads, and yes negative beget negative and so on. so find something positive - a beautiful child, a bright color, the face of a stranger and write something positive.

You already have what you need inside of you.

Word by Word as Anne Lamott inspires us in her book "Bird by Bird". You are doing it. You are writing.

To keep it positive, list all the stuff you are thankful for. Or do something that brings a smile to your face...

Dream big! And write about it! What do you want your life to look like? Make your own reality...

Friday Shootouts - Power (Zest for Life)

I took power to mean "zest for life". And this is where I get mine. Hanging out with people that know what it means to be alive and have fun. Drinking tea, receiving inspirational quotes, and photography. Reading as much as I possibly can. And good old sunshine when we are blessed enough to see it!

Friday Shootout - Outdoor Food

Outdoor Happy Hour at one of Cleveland's treasures - The Great Lakes Brewing Company. We made it up there for Christmas in July to sample the Year's First public Christmas Ale on tap. It's dark, delicious and in this season 8% alcohol by content - or so that's what we were told anyways. Needless to say by the middle of my third I was feeling pretty "good". Enjoy a night of eating outdoors with me in Cleveland.

bouncy bouncy fun fun fun fun fun

I'm struggling with body image/feeling at the moment. I just don't feel fit. So, besides being committed to working out again, I'm also replacing my chair at work with an exercise ball. I got it yesterday and in general I think it's much more comfortable than sitting on a chair. I don't really feel like I'm working my core or anything sitting on it...but I do I have it here if I all of a sudden get motivated to start doing crunches. We'll see about that. Look here for some of the benefits of sitting on an exercise ball instead of a chair at work: http://www.gearfire.net/10-reasons-to-use-an-exercise-ball-as-your-chair/ I wanted to go to the gym this morning before work and in a moment of frustration I decided not to go. I'm regretting the decision. I needed to do that for myself and I let myself get shut down. I think that part of what is going on with me is that I've stopped eating meat and have probably replaced too much of my meal with carbohyd...
