Ooops!

Yes, you've caught me. I took a day off yesterday. I did a lot of work for AG, and I was just drained without much to say. I think that through this 30-day challenge, realistically, I'll probably miss a few other days. Obviously now, it will not be a consecutive 30-days for this challenge…perhaps more like a 30-post challenge. The important thing is that I keep going without being too hard on myself when I simply haven't the energy or desire to post. I think that's often the problem with New Year's Resolutions and things of that nature: we get too caught up with having to do it because we said we'd do it, then are too hard on ourselves when we "mess up", so keeping the resolution fails. But messing up is a part of life. It's how we recover that's the important part. So back into the swing of things!

The most important thing is, I have enjoyed this trip blogging so far.  And I do believe with a bit of practice (and, I'm sure, a few missteps along the way), it'll be something I continue to do for a long time.

    This post reminds me of this month's Inspired by Reading selection and how (SPOILER ALERT) Meg's gift is her own faults. Perfection is not possible and therefore not something to strive for.

    Yeah, it's just like anything... you can't beat yourself up when things don't turn out just like you thought they would. If you get stuck for ideas, maybe you could do a catch up post/posts on the last two book club meet ups. Eric and I are willing to make a monetary bribe to see what everyone else made. ;)

My First Entry

Hello All, This is, hopefully, the start to my blogging life!  You see, my partner, Andrew ( andrew-thornton.blogspot.com ) is doing a 30-day artistic challenge.  So, since blogging is something that I think may be useful to me, I figured I'd take the time to try a 30-day blogging exercise.  I'm expecting my friends to hold me accountable for the next 30 days, too! I'm not sure what this first entry should be about really, so let me just tell you a bit about myself. I was born in a small town in Pennsylvania.  I really grew up in a wonderful place for kids.  We didn't have many neighbors around, but my brother and I really had a lot of open spaces and even a lake (very large pond) in our backyard at our disposal.  I mostly remember good things about my childhood.  For the most part, I liked school.  I liked learning (and still do).  I grew up thinking that I was going to be a lot of things in life.  I first wanted to be a Chef (my,...

Defining Objects

I once read a GQ article as a youngster that talked about defining objects.  It was an article that really hit home at the time that I read it, and one that, to this day, still makes so much sense to me.  I wish I still had the article, or even knew where I could find it.  Believe me, I've tried.  But, the point of the article was that for many of us, we bring ourselves close to things that define us.  That is, things that show the world who and what we are.  The article concluded by giving an example of the author standing in line behind a gentleman whose suit was tattered and appeared that he had a fairly hard life up until this point.  But, as the author looked over this gentleman, his glance came upon his shoes.  They were immaculate.  Brown leather.  Wingtips.  Polished and well taken care of.  This was one of the things that this gentleman held on to and kept up to show the world who he really was.  He was sophistica...

It's Not Just a Store…

Good Evening Everyone! It's been a busy weekend.  I hope that everyone is enjoying Valentine's Day.  Andrew and I are postponing our Valentine's Day until Tuesday when we're going to a concert in Pittsburgh.  Nonetheless, I hope your day was special.  I think no matter what, it's a good time to remember to love yourself and to love those around you.  I celebrated many of these days without a significant other.  And with or without, it's really just about love…everywhere. Anyway, back to the title of my post.  It's been a busy weekend.  We're always busy doing things, but with Andrew's 30-Day Creative heART Challenge , I've been filling in at the store seven days a week instead of the normal six.  And, he's been so into this challenge that I rarely see him even emerge from his studio room.  There are a lot of great things happening.  So, it's been nonstop for us both. Also, we're taking the time to totally renovate our online s...
