Day 6: Five Favorite Apps

For today's post during the Blogember challenge - to post every day during the month of November - the subject is my five favorite apps.

1. Instagram - my real favorite for sharing photos, tracking progress, following other posters with the ability to filter and enhance. I follow cool people and they share their lives little moments too!

2. iMDb - I just love this app when watching a movie, tv or when I have a question that needs answering about movies, tv and music. Just love it!

3. Pinterest - yes, for my phone too. I love Pinterest and the app allows me easy access and ability to update boards from anywhere!

4. Color Effects - another photo app that allows enhancements. Use it infrequently, but when I need it, I love it!~

5. Scrabble - I love my scrabble! Play it for real on the deluxe board version, online whenever I'm able and on the app from my phone. Couldn't live without it!

#BeBrave

I found myself in an unfamiliar and uncomfortable place this week. It's taken me days to process what occurred, how I responded and how I'm choosing to move forward. In a professional environment, during an ordinary 3pm de-brief meeting I found myself being verbally attacked and disrespected by a bully. I remained calm, spoke my mind carefully and respectfully. It was surprising and over the next few days became increasingly unsettling. There were others in the room, and no one spoke to support me. It has struck me as so odd, hurtful and profoundly unacceptable. Like any good drama episode written by Aaron Sorkin or JJ Abrams, let's rewind to 8 hours earlier. Once again browsing new selections in iTunes for my running mix. I know, I get bored easily, huh? I love how the music motivates me so I'm always on the lookout for new and upbeat songs. I came across a feature for the new Sara Bareilles album streaming for free this weekend, so I b...

How to get out of an EPIC funk!

This morning I woke to a funk. Yes, mine. Reasons to me were relatively clear. Relationships in my life that are not working. Lingering fear. Dissatisfaction in my primary relationship. To be honest seems like the same stuff that's been hanging on for the last six months. Today felt heavy. Too heavy for a holiday. How do I push through it? Cause it seems that I'm unable to go around it. Again. A holiday means every one is home with me. So solitude is not really the answer. But writing is. So how did I get out of an epic funk this morning. I got honest with myself. And I cried. Cause feelings hurt. And people disappoint. Yet somehow, someway life moves on. I got honest with myself by writing about it. Detailing what was troubling me into this place and what I saw as the way out. I gave myself permission to be honest. Even though it wasn't simple or fascinating. ...

Be yourself

Sometimes things just hit me like out of the blue and I wonder why didn't I think of that sooner!? And after the realization settles in I'm at such peace. This has happened several times recently at work with all the lessons I've amassed over the last 8 months of a project that is coming to a close. I honestly didn't realize that I learned so much, or that I was actually putting those lessons into action. I find that I evolve at an interesting rate. Sometimes it feels as though nothing changes, and other times it's like I don't even remember how things used to be. And all the while I've maintained that I just need to be myself. Although I've changed over time through the lessons, the core of who I am remains the same. And that's a great feeling. To not have to turn myself inside out to fit. It not only allows me to be authentic, but feels so true deep inside. I say what I mean, I mean what I say and I know how to say it as to...
