slow movement

so one of our goals this year is to take life slower

we live in a electronic world

cell phones, computers, television

this weekend we are taking a pledge

from friday night

to saturday night

we are going without all of that

and more

no lights, no batteries, no stove, no twitter, no blogs, no e-mail

we are keeping heat (cause it is supposed to be freezing)

we will turn off our cell phones

we can read

we can clean

we can enjoy each other's company

we will be using our car

cause i really want to go to a dutch oven demostration

i will be using my holga documenting the day

i will scan my pictures when i get the film back

i will blog via pen and paper

yep, you read right

i will write about my day and our experience

and will scan it in also and will post on Monday or Tuesday

also along with the slow movement

i came across our city lights blog

i will be participating in the Slow Readers Book Club

go to our city lights blog and e-mail her

if you would like to participate with me!

hoorah! for a slower year

xoox

new year, new outlook, new journeys

well it is now 2010

i hoped to be a better blogger
FAIL
at least for the 1st 3 days of this month

i have goals
just like everyone else
but am really bad at keeping them
i get lost and discourage when
i don't do them

i am going to blog differently moving forward
i am in the process of creating a new home
for my thoughts, for my crafts, for me

i have never been a follower
but have come to needing friends
or approval from everyone
not doing things for myself
or because i need to be liked

that time is OVER

i am trying to break from this routine
i am going to be myself
i am not going to apologize
for not blogging
or
beat myself up for not finishing a project

i will keep promises to all my blog friends
i will not let you down
and will be here if you ever need
a listening friend

i will blog my style
randomness and craziness
thoughts that go through my head
stuff you might not want to hear
or stuff you might

i will start taking more photographs
and talking about what might be going on in my life

time has changed
and 2010 holds great things for me
i am the only one that holds myself back
i am the only one that has control over my life

i will like what i like
not because it is the "cool" thing to like
but because it makes me happy inside

all of you make me happy inside
so this journey continues
just on a different path
