f|break: tuesday early morn

SNL ... shiny penny at its finest. when shiny penny andy and i were talking about randomness and one-off conversations, SNL's james franco character on SNL weekend update totally came to mind.

enjoy your fiber break with SNL news update (over here)
for ~ 2 minutes with the james franco character

"college ... 127 hours ... oscars ... coat check room ... smelting ..."
"i like having jobs"
"editing james franco with james franco ...
"i can't stop"
"a rabbi ... underwear ad for jockey ... jockey ... wide receiver ..."
"i love doing things"
"i use my time oddly"

it's that time of the month ...

#healthmonth ... lock and load your rules (and any exceptions) for march. there are eleven new rules and a rules wizard. remember you have until march 1 before midnight to load up your rules. they will be locked in by march 2.

team CDWL@edi ... we are doing great. however, i see we all have some catching up to do - i had 3 days in the queue. checked that off my list this morning.

new team members interested ... if you know anyone interested in joining team CDWL@edi, make sure to let me know so i can approve him/her. and as a reminder, our team is over here, and we have DAILY DO and DAILY DON'T requirements. and they can join health month over here.

11 new rules for march ... have you checked out the new rules? i know there are some that several team CDWL@edi may enjoy! of the 11, the several that come to mind -
  • do yoga
  • stretch
  • do your household chores
  • walk at least x steps a day
  • track your spending
and a few more rules from the 4-hour body slow carb diet and the no s diet.
other suggestions ... perhaps someone should simply suggest to buster -
do cross fit WOD
- as a rule, eh?! (yes, i'm talking to smiles and j-ro - wink! - if you've not yet done so.) here is the uservoice forums/health month idea tracker to do so.

rollover your rules from february, aka rules wizard ...
and i believe everyone has seen this already. buster added a feature to import your last month's rules. when i used it earlier last week, the notes and exceptions had not rolled-over consistently; some notes were mixed up under other rules. nevertheless, a GREAT update to healtlh month!
see you in march team CDWL@edi,
and maybe we'll have some new team players!


side note: i've been getting requests from health month'rs to join team CDWL@edi or
simply for sponsorship. and for some, they are giving me lives and fruit
AND asking for sponsorship. how about you all? getting asked, also?

#love2011: week 9 on celebrating age

the love project ... this week's assignment - celebrating age.
(image from artist:
kelly paige standard)


yvette, the project's creator, has included a main assignment and an option simply for a quick version of the week 9 assignment -
Assignment 9: Write a blog post or comment about your age and why it is the perfect age to be. Variations might be what you think the perfect age is and why. You can also talk about your birthday, why it's special, and how you are going to celebrate. Or if you really just want a very easy Love Project Assignment, then help me celebrate MY age by leaving me a Happy Birthday comment! Today I'm 51!
(last week's assignment: week 8 on reframing rejection
day after yvette's birthday - TODAY, 02/27 ... it's a GREAT DAY today - just-a-smidge-over 1-year anniversary of yvette's book over here and on amazon.

on internet radio - TODAY, 02/27 ... and CONGRATS to yvette and her book (The Laptop Dancer Diaries: A Mostly True Story About Finding Love Again) and her blog (Single Again Online Diary) for being featured on Boston's the dating marketplace with nic & neely, unregularradio.com internet radio - their show this evening at 8 pm (EST) and therefore 5 pm (PST) for west coast folks.

someecards.com - Just wanted to say happy birthday on the off chance it's not one of the other 364 days

happy happy joy joy birthday, yvette!
... yesterday (feb 26) was yvette's prime number (51) birthday, so as is the case for any birthday greeting ...

and of course,

hipmtfn: reverbin' in 2011

#reverb11 ... just as with the december 2010 reverb10's reflecting and manifesting, there is a monthly reverb11 -
"Happy February! We're excited to be reconnecting with the Reverb community. At the beginning of each month, Reverb HQ will send one prompt, several reflect/manifest tools, and any other creative, useful things we come across. We're also back on Twitter, so you can follow us @reverb10. ... Like #reverb10, you may respond to this prompt as-is or remix it to suit your needs. Write, blog, photograph, draw or respond however you'd like. Tag on Twitter or Flickr with the hashtag "#reverb11" to share with others!"

this means there will be a monthly, thought-provoking question. and so it begins ...

february '11 prompt ... One month into 2011, what question(s) are you living? Are there any prompts/questions that arose during #reverb10 that are still resonating in your life? Are you living new questions?


the reflect & manifest tools shared ...
my thoughts - your heart's desire 2011 ... for me, questions that i am living are a product of activities, goals, and dreams with your heart's desire (yhd) as the framework. annually since the last '90s, i've checked-in on my annual yhd, with yhd2011 being no different. this year, goal statements came in the form of mindset, along with support (or tools) to move through a yhd.

"Are there any prompts/questions that arose during #reverb10 that are still resonating in your life?" ... there certainly are several that continue to resonate in my life, particularly those intentions for manifesting in 2011. also, several are inter-related with some common themes -
  • 2011 manifestions ... i am mindful of those prompts with manifestation type statements or prospective actions -
    • one word (enthusiasm),
    • community (to be part of/create) (apprentern, ignorance and knowledge, environmental professional development),
    • 11 (eleven) things (to eliminate) (paper stuff, dream zappers, extra journals, eating habits, impatience, exercise excuses, fridge cemetary, listening to harmful gossip, time suck shiny pennies, over-analyzing when decisiom-making, retail therapy),
    • action (related to apprenternship),
    • try (cross-fit),
    • healing (enthusiasm),
    • beyond avoidance (finances),
    • future self (vision board, authenticity, cubeopolis, fair, forthright, self-aware),
    • travel (domestic, abroad, family, friends, food, shoes - local, chicago, vermont, oregon, nyc, boston, d.c., spain, vancouver),
    • everything's o.k. (exploring how i can contribute to the issues of ignorance, etc.),
    • achieve (be speechless - fun variety of things),
    • defining moment (includes a recap at end of cubeopolis-related reverb10 reflections), and
    • core story (family, friends, lists, mindmapping, reflection, introspection, writing).
  • relationships and connections ... i found myself reflecting on events that are shaping my actions and behaviors to relate and connect with a variety of people, while also being with that tribe (as in how seth godin has shared with wired.com and here at TED) - so about relationships -
    • moment (on being true to one's self)
    • wonder (asking questions - who, what, where, when, how, why, and why not)
    • letting go (creating space to connect with others and to serve)
    • party (small group, food-centered social fun, esp. breaksfast buds/brunch)
    • appreciate (importance of friends like shiny penny andy)
    • friendship (silver lining friendships, preferred)
    • lesson learned (on being forthright)
    • ordinary joy (importance of friends like sci-fi guy)
    • defining moment (on cubeopolis, with recap of related reverb10 prompts)
prompts that stand out ... of the more than 20 above, i'd say the top 10 that are currently most shaping where i am now include - one word, community (to be part of/create), 11 (eleven) things (to eliminate), action, future self, beyond avoidance, everything's o.k., wonder, friendship, and defining moment. and if i had to just narrow it down to the top 3 - future self, friendship, and defining moment. these top 3 have the most common roots with my responses to the other top 20+ reverb10 prompts/questions.

"Are you living new questions?"
... indeed, after coming out of reverb10 with a little bit (well, maybe more like LOTS) of withdrawal, i am excited about evolving with healthier habits as health month is part of that, learning more about love in life with the love project (as part of more thoughts on community and blogger bosom buddies), and creating a community inspired (oddly enough) by the defining moment with an excuse to add to cubealabras and share cubeopolis tales. AND in yhd2011 words - these touch upon health & body, creative expression, and relationships.

oh future self ...
it's time to work on my vision board and
a website (in the making)!
