RIP Whitney Houston
Truly sad about the news of Whitney Houston passing. This is a bigger hit to me personally than when Michael Jackson passed away. She was my all time favorite singer when I was younger. I used to dance around my room and pretend I could sing to her songs. I bought her cd in 2009 and I really like it! She’s my girl. So sad that we could see this coming and nothing could be done about it. :(

Challenge: Buy Groceries at Whole Foods on a... →
I want to try and do this. But I’d have to learn to cook.
yourhealthista:
“I contacted Whole Foods and suggested a bet. If I could feed my family of three for 30 days exclusively from items purchased at Whole Foods for $491.10 they would reimburse me for my food. If I didn’t make it, they’d owe me nothing. The budget worked out to $16.31 cents per day total for all three of us. In...

Day 3 is hands (yeah i’m late to the game)…ok so I only posted A hand. I am taking this opportunity to showcase what I did with my Friday night…make jewelry of course! Let’s hope I can keep up with a photo a day.
20 Questions
1. What is one of your favorite ways to spend a Saturday?
Not having to wake up to an alarm, but having the sunshine wake me up early enough to get stuff done. If I exercise and feel productive, and then have plans that night, it’s probably a pretty good Saturday.
2. List your top three favorite TV shows.
Parenthood, House, Through the Wormhole
3. Would you rather be in pictures or...

It's funny when I hear my thoughts, then read them...
“However, once we have done the work to heal ourselves, it then becomes possible for us to bring the best of who we are to others. In return, we will draw in those who are willing and able to bring the best of who they are to us. At the very least, we will be able to distinguish early on those who can’t or won’t do this, knowing that, although this person might have “great...

What's Holding you back right now?
What’s holding you back right now?
I am being held back by a fear of failure and not being good enough. I tend to second guess myself or not push myself far enough because I’m doing just fine where I’m at. The times I have pushed myself out of my comfort zone are the times I’ve grown the most. At the same time, I judge myself for not pushing myself out of my comfort zone often...

Where Does Your Ego Get in the Way?
So I totally sucked at the #Resound11 blog prompts. Oops. But I do want to use the questions from Oprah’s Lifeclass series as blog prompts, and since it’s not set to 30 days, I’ll do um as I do um. So here we go:
Where does your ego get in your way?
Ohhh that pesky ego. I’m pretty sure I can relate to all the answers posted to this question. When I feel really strong...

A little nugget of wisdom right when I needed it.
I said to myself “I’m looking for something good. Hope this email says what I need to hear.”
Ask and you shall receive.
Whatever your problem or challenge may be, Ashlei, laugh at it. Laugh long and hard. Because you are forever and it is temporary. Love you, The Universe
Ain’t no pain or vice, Ashlei, that you won’t prevail over and be more for. And...

I need a friend intervention. I don’t know what is wrong with me but I have been feeling so negative for at least a week now. I’m on the verge of tears but I can’t cry because I don’t know what I’m so depressed about. No it’s not that time of the month and I haven’t had a period in 5 years so it’s not PMS. I know my thoughts create the life I’m...

#resound11 Prompt 10: High/Low
Today is a bit of a choose your own adventure: write (paint, draw, photograph, record, etc.) about your best experience this year. If that’s not your cup of joe, write about your worst experience. Feeling chatty? Share both your best and worst moments.
My memory isn’t the best and trying to remember back 12 months to find the best and worst moments is a bit of a challenge. I...

#resound11 Prompt 9: Best Photo
Today, please post your best photo of the year. It doesn’t have to be the best technically, it doesn’t have to be the best visually, but it should be a photo that you consider the best. Does it have special meaning? Is it of a significant event or moment? Share it with us!
Of course I couldn’t pick just one. I browsed though my Facebook pictures from 2011 and picked out the ones...

#resound11 Prompt 8: Catch Phrase
What’s your trademark phrase? Not sure? How about a quote or saying that you repeat often? Bonus points if it’s new for 2011, but we won’t be upset if it’s been around longer than that. Try to put it in context for us if it’s a little abstract.
Hmm… I do go through phases where I excessively use a word or phrase, but I don’t think I have one right now....

#resound11 Prompt 07: Achievement Unlocked
December 7, 2011 Prompt:
What goal did you set for yourself and achieve this year? Did you achieve something you didn’t think you could? Did you win an award? Did you set a record?

#resound11 Prompt 6: Thelma & Louise

#resound11 Prompt 5: Theme Song
If your life was a television show, what would its theme song be? What music would be cued at the start of the show or when you entered a scene?
If you know me, you know my LIFE theme song is “Don’t Stop Believing” by Journey! Everyone I know thinks of me when that song is on. If I’m not around when they hear it, I usually get a tweet or a text that it’s on and they...

#resound11 Prompt 04: Suerpower
What’s your 2011 superpower? What have you learned that you can do better than anyone you know this year? What can you do that no one else can?
My over-analytical self has a hard time with this one. I think there are a lot of things I LIKE to do and try to do them WELL, but I don’t think there is anything I do BETTER than anyone else. I tend to think I am a jack of all trades,...

#resound11 Prompt 03: Virtues

I feel like I am a good listener and I’m there for my friends when they need me. I do my best to understand their problems and encourage them to get through whatever they are going through. I try to be supportive. I try to see things from a different perspective.
