The MeetingLife Journal entered my life nearly two weeks ago, and today it’s headed to another YouTube vlogger.

I’m so proud to be a part of the project, and hope you’ll enjoy my video when it debuts on http://youtube.com/meetinglife :)

Starting now, I own this day.

You own this day.

Slowly integrating back into life after ten days unplugged for personal reasons. Therefore I owe people emails, videos, designs and most importantly apologies – personal and virtual. I can’t control when mental breakdowns occur, only how I handle disappointment others have in me after my absence. It doesn’t feel good to let people down but from my past experience burning out is far worse.

And so starting now, I own this day.

Tack as many sheets of 18x24” thick stock paper as you need to a wall 
Attack with Sharpies, sticky notes, highlighters and more!

The Balancing Act

I wish I could make a video blog explaining everything that is happening in my life. Talking through things with feedback is how I cope with events. And yet as of recent, and due to the “sensitive nature” (others opinions, not mine [since I’m willingly open about anything]) of topics I’d be discussing, I can’t.

If I had the ability to take all of my plans/ideas/everything and break them open to the world for everyone to see – expose it all for public exhibition and discourse – I would. And I want to! That’s what my #BestLife video series is supposed to be about! But until I have the blessing of those around me to share stuff like this, or until I develop a nondescript format to share events that have happened to me real life (change names and places?) I can’t be fully open. And that feels so personally limiting.

I’ve gotta get through this. And I’ve need to figure out a balance between sharing online for my own sanity and still having a private life…

New iPhone wallpaper in anticipation of my upcoming series. :)

I fully explained this series idea to a friend for the first time since thoroughly designing it all in my head last night. My hope is that this show motivates people to realize how they can take hold of life and their surroundings with the correct method of thinking. It felt great to get feedback on it from someone, and I hope you’ll give me your feedback as well!

If there’s one thing that pisses me off in a friendship, it’s having “friends” who consistently never reply to text messages, or return phone calls. You know, I get that you’re busy. I get that things can be hectic and we all have stuff to deal with. But if taking thirty seconds or less out of your day to reply to someone who you supposedly care about is too much of a hassle, perhaps we weren’t really friends in the first place.

Real talk.
