I just found the funniest website! I was listening to Martha Beck’s comments on Jamie’s latest post for The Next Chapter and she mentioned www.bitchyourselfthin.com so I checked it out and it is really cool! If you are trying to lose some weight for the holidays, what a great thing to go out to this site and sign up. They have a rule that you have to sign in EVERY DAY and report your weight. Three strikes, you’re out! It costs $10 a month, but if you are serious about losing some weight, this is a great idea.
This week was a challenge for me! I really get what Martha is trying to achieve with her methods… in order to understand fully the elements of joy, we really have to stop and take care of what it is that our heart wants to do and treats are a big part of that. I guess, for me, it just opened a can of worms!
This week’s topic was about risk! Have you taken any risks lately? Listen to my podcast to hear what I have to say about Risk & more discussion of last week’s topic, Creativity dealing with your inner enemies.
What great fun this is! I am having such a great time creating this podcast for you! I hope that you are enjoying it. Please, leave a comment and let me know who you are!
This is Week 3 in our online book club, studying The Joy Diet by Martha Beck. In this week’s podcast, I talk about TRUTH, as that is the title of Chapter 2. I really enjoyed making this week’s podcast! What fun to chat with all of you! If you are just joining us, I hope that you will get yourself a copy of The Joy Diet and come along. This podcast/blog series is a part of a bigger project that Jamie Ridler put together for all of us!
I was a bit late to the party this week with my post for The Joy Diet , but alas… here it is! I would loved to have created an art piece to share with you all, but my closet renovation took priority this weekend! We’ve got a brand new closet and “ooh it feels so good, ooh!”
Please join me in celebrating Jamie Ridler’s new book club book – The Joy Diet! Here is a video of Jamie kicking it off, but you should really hop on over to her Next Chapter: The Joy Diet website because everyone who is participating in this wonderful book club (The Next Chapter) is checking in there with their posts about the book. It is a LOT of fun! I hope that you will join us too!
My New Podcast – Each week, I will be podcasting my notes about the book! Please subscribe to my podcast so you can come along with me as I go through the book! The Joy Diet Podcast
Time to change it up a bit, folks! A few weeks ago, when I was interviewing Jamie Ridler on my Cirkla Radio Show, she mentioned that she is starting a new book for her Next Chapter blog. The book is called The Joy Diet.
So, in honor of that, I have decided to take a few months away from the Hump Day Hero theme and focus my blog time on The Joy Diet through podcasting. Please listen to my first podcast here…
Sometimes I look at my Hump Day Heroes and think that I must have picked everyone by now… sometimes I get a little stuck and then a beauty peeks out of the mist to say, “What about me?” This week, that was Tess Marshall. Tess is a perfect choice for my next Hump Day Hero! Although I haven’t met Tess personally, she is a great commentor on several of the blogs that I like to read and her book, Flying by the Seat of My Soul is a wonderful and delightful journey of encouragement. She offers her book free as an e-book or you can purchase a paperback copy if you prefer to read the old-fashioned way!
Tess is a life coach and an artist. Please check out her wonderful blog, The Bold Life. You will undoubtedly be inspired as well!
Please join us this Wednesday, September 2nd, as I interview another life coach-artist-blogger who is a lot of fun as well – Jamie Ridler! Jamie Ridler hosts an online book club, a wishcasting group and does some wonderful dreamboard workshops. Oh, you will just have to listen to find out more! I will be interviewing Jamie on my online Cirkla Radio Show. The show is LIVE so you can join us and ask questions or you can listen to the download after the fact. For a complete listing of all of our Cirkla Radio Show episodes and downloads, please visit www.cirkla.com/show and subscribe to the RSS feed for the show. You can catch the show LIVE at www.blogtalkradio.com/cirklagirl.
Please help me welcome a newcomer to our midst… or at least to my little corner of the world! This week’s Hump Day Hero is Katie West. Katie is changing many people’s lives with, well… laughter! See for yourself with this quick video!
Katie teaches classes on how to bring more play into your life and she has a weekly Joy Laugh Club that meets online. To learn more about Katie West and her wonderful Levity Project, visit her blog at www.lifelaughterlevity.com.
During the interview, Lance mentions another couple that is also participating in a version of the Levity Project with him – Kim and Jason of the Escape Adulthood blog. (On the same day as Katie West, they are doing another Laugh Flash in Madison, WI.)
If you listened in to my interview with Lance Ekum (Jungle of Life) last week, you might have heard of Katie’s project coming up on Saturday, August 22nd. To hear more about it, listen to the interview.
