after my last post, written while i was feeling a bit lost, things have changed a little. i received so many comments and personal emails that were filled with suggestions, privacy concerns, scary personal blog stories, etc. that i hit the brakes and put the "girl tribe" idea back into the "think tank." my apologies to anyone who might feel offended that i did this, but it's the right thing to do.
i think this is a beautiful bag. i would love to sit down to breakfast every morning to plates that look like this. maybe i could actually journal if i tried it this way. i mean, i can doodle so this should be easy, right? most of you with iPhones already know all of the shortcuts or just good things to know about your phone, but in case you don't and if maybe sometimes you feel like an iPhone dummy, this will help. speaking of iPhones, do you have a screen protector on yours? i did for over a year, but i just recently took mine off and i have to admit that my phone feels so sleek and sexy in my hand now that the protector is in the garbage. little things like that make me happy.
Well, I can sure understand why you would put the breaks on -- must have been a lot to digest, especially w/ Ms. Kidney trying to pass a couple. Awfully glad this is over for you -- I've heard it's hell.
ReplyDeleteLove that last photo. Did you make this? It's really lovely. Love the colors!
OMG...just last week I took the screen protector off my phone...it totally felt sexy and new! Too funny! Glad the stone passed and you are feeling much better! xo
ReplyDeleteYou know, it is almost sad we have to age guard ourselves so much and stop from building a wonderful tribe because of the few psychos out there. My husband doesn't mind me blogging, but like some of your readers suggested, as long as I keep some form of anonymity. I find it hard some times, because the same anonymity that allows me to write what I want makes me wonder if I am hiding. Like you mentioned there are so many issues to discuss that so many people will not even touch... You have to think about your family and your safety too
ReplyDeleteLittle things like that make me happy too. Like the way the late day sun is looking outside the windows. It's magic hour is what it is.
ReplyDeleteI certainly understand the girl tribe concerns. You did the right thing. :) I have had 3 iphones and never put a screen protector on any of them. Good choice to discard the thing, Beth! I just downloaded an app called TopNotes that you can draw in, take notes on, and even import pictures. I just purchased a stylus so I could actually take notes if I need to. It's really cool!
ReplyDeleteI had tested the screen protector out by touching my husband's phone, and I was not happy with it. My phone has been sleek and sexy from day 1, and so far (knock on wood) my screen has been just fine. Funny how something so simple can make a difference.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're feeling better!
Happy to hear that you are feeling much better.
ReplyDeleteI've become increasingly jaded and paranoid over the years from my line of work, so personally speaking, your decision to hold off on the girl tribe blog thing is completely understandable. No worries.
i LOVE that feathery/flag banner - what is it? did you make it? and THANK YOU for the iPhone tip page. i'll be getting one soon, i hope, and i'll need all the help i can get! (btw, i am loving the new mac more and more each day :)
ReplyDeleteHaving not visited in awhile..am reading thru your recent posts about creating a tribe. Hmmmm....interesting thoughts. An intriguing idea. Love your beautiful work!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, I want to toss my case, too. But, I'm just so clumsy!
ReplyDeleteI would love breakfast served just those ways.
ReplyDeleteJournaling for sure would be more pleasant done just this way.
Take care and glad the kidney stone is a passed memory.
Little things are always the best. I think we all have a little bit of a girl tribe going with each other already, even though I did like your idea. I guess it would be hard to find a way to deal with the privacy issues, I'm sure that after the idea percolates for a while, the perfect solution will come to you!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you are feeling better.
ReplyDeleteHa loved the breakfast art!
ReplyDeleteI love the banner (breakfast art:))
ReplyDeleteand so sorry to hear you've had such a struggle;
hope you're mending quickly and will have none of
those labor type pains again!
the sweetest of peace,
Jennifer
