Well, I decided to do the 30 Day Blog Challenge…in 30 days more or less. I was gonna copy and past the daily topics for y’all to see but SOMEBODY (<_<) has their site copyrighted and protected, so I couldn’t. LOL! At any rate, I think the first topic is to introduce myself. Here’s what I wrote back in March of 2009 when I first began this blog. If you look over in the “Destination” section on this site, you’ll notice that I bookmark certain posts that mark a transitional moment in my thinking. “Defining My Truth” was the first one. Next time I post – I will tell you who I am…a year and a half later:

Happy Sunday, folks! I’m not sure if I mentioned it here or over on Twitter, that I wore a dress to work a couple of weeks ago that I bought in April.  At the time, I wasn’t quite able to fit it.  The fabric  stretched comfortably over my hips, buttoned all the way to my waist, squeeeeeeeeezed over my tummy and threw up a white flag when it got to my bosoms.  That was OK w/ me.  In fact, it was intentional.  When I purchased the dress, I knew that I couldn’t fit it – but that I WOULD. 

I hung it up on in my bathroom/bedroom closet door so that I had to look at it (and lust over it) every morning and evening.  It was my inspiration dress – not the first of its kind, but the latest….

If you’ve noticed some changes in my background designs on FB and Twitter, it’s because I’m really feeling the BREATHE theme.

When I first started back blogging as SoJo, I wanted to concentrate on opening my heart, mind and spirit (which was reflected in the old design). Now that I’ve mastered that, I’m simply concentrating on BREATHING…taking everything in and showing gratitude for the “NOW”.

This meditation is a perfect one and this site is a new gem that I’ve found and visit every day.

Enjoy!

One day, I promise that I will sit on the porch in my rocking char and tell y’all the story.  I promise that I will.  But for tonight, instead of writing, I’m gonna post these lyrics and this video.  Enjoy!

Love,

“Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.”

~Bruce Lee

Did you ever hear the story about the optimist and the pessimist?

The optimist goes to the window every morning and says, “Good morning, God!” The pessimist goes to the window and says, “Good God, morning.”
