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...

Month of Miracles

photo credit: http://marcestes.com/2011/02/11/miracles-the-need-for-the-hour/ In the tradition of continuing the commitment to writing each day, I am beginning the month of December as I have for many years…. with a passage from Simple Abundance about December. "December's gifts - custom, ceremony, celebration, consecration - come to us wrapped up, not in tissue and ribbons, but in cherished memories. This is the month of miracles. The oil that burns for eight days, the royal son born in a stable, the inexplicable return of Light on the longest, darkest night of the year. Where there is Love, there are always miracles. And where there are miracles, there is great joy. Gratefully, we weave the golden thread of .. joy in our tapestry of contentment. At last we embrace the miracle of authenticity, changing forever how we view ourselves. Our daily round. Our dreams. Our destinies. Days we once called common, we now call hol...

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...
