It’s turned cold and so of course I’ve resurrected this ancient neglected blog.

Makes perfect sense. Like wearing big bulky warm sweaters and drinking hot tea in the afternoon. These things are provoked by the cold. Also, I’ve been working like crazy to learn how to create some digital products. Things like PDFs and a short Ebook and those challenging things have reminded me that I enjoy writing for writings sake. That’s the very definition of a personal blog.

If you knew me well you’d know I have a love ~ hate relationship with post-it notes. I love how easy they are to grab and use. I hate how easy they are to grab and use. A section of wall in my office is always covered with a rainbow of post-its. Notes to self, short abandoned To-Do Lists and quotes. Absolutely random quotes that I can’t pass up in the moment, have no use for over weeks and months on end, yet can’t part with.

My life has a superb cast but I can’t figure out the plot.

I mean that’s too great to just read and walk on by. It lives on a neon pink post-it that’s starting to curl. I tried starting a document on my Mac called Quotes and keeping my gems there, but I really like seeing them and being reminded of them.

Recently Gary and I watched a Reese Witherspoon movie called How Do You Know. In it Reese is an athlete who gets cut from her team. Her bathroom mirror is plastered with affirmations and mindset quotes that have kept her motivated and pumped. During that toothbrushing scene I realized that many of my post-it quotes do the same for me.

On that note I’ll close with the one that just fell off as I walked by. It’s from a blogger turned podcaster that I really enjoy. Maybe you’ll see why. It’s blogging/podcasting wisdom calls out to me in blue ink from a putty colored square:
