motion. life. fun. im too big to ride this carousel. dang rules.
been long time, eh?…
Real excuse… ‘Gosh I’ve been so busy lately to blog blog blog’… which is true. Real reason… i forgot my password to wordpress in an episode of my Cell Phone Switchup Extravaganza 2008… sadly not only my password but my login. so much for trying to be sneaky and change up my login/passwords in security efforts.
but its 2009. how incredibly exciting. i suppose not incredibly but still exciting. the thought of starting over or starting anew always leaves january as a bright month, despite dreary weather. i hope everyone has set their resolutions. I generally set resolutions after J1 (january one) and as im in the middle of doing something I feel it’d be good to set a resolution about… for example, J3 i go to the grocery store and only buy nilla cakesters… those things are amazing. it was as I checked out I made my resolution to no longer only buy and no longer eat nilla cakesters… still going strong on that… i have my weak moments… those little yellow puffy cakes make my mouth water.
so here is the erika leigh list-o-resolutions… i love lists.
8. Don’t buy nor eat Nilla Cakesters.
7. Don’t make as many lists that start out with four feasible things to complete in a day and then add about 14 completely unfeasible other daily actions… (aka lose 14 pounds, max out 401K)
6. Learn something new everyday… very cliche… but we overlook how we can go a whole day and not expand anything about ourselves… learning is a pretty awesome thing… especially when you learn things about things you love… for me… photography, business, love, friends, dance, cakesters, etc.
5. Beat the money battle. Hey, has anyone heard were in a recession? :) jokes. Yea the US of A is a little beat up around the edges but if I, myself, can personally overcome the whole idea of billion dollar debts, lack of constraint on lending and credit crunches, blah blah blah… yea its bad. so i choose to suck it up and save and spend reasonably. my clients will always get the best money can buy at normal prices… its give and take people… im small in these billion dollar bail out plans… but i plan on making it work big for me.
4. Have more heart. So I’m watching John Q. Wowza… Denzel Washington is good, but bigger WOWZA is the idea behind it. If you haven’t seen it, you need to… the idea about love knowing no boundaries and heart… just having heart… integrity. I’m not an over-softie but i watch this and just want to hug someone. :)
3. Lose some of that left brain control. Right brain is free and imaginative and holistic and nonverbal and unjudging and colorful… Left brain, while soooo important, is control and order and time and constraining and logical and analytic and judging… it holds all our fear. It tells us to hold that grudge. It tells us to not be friendly to a certain type of person. It tells us we aren’t good enough. I’m ready let a little of that go. Wish there was a switch but something tells me this is a lifelong process….
2. Stop saying wowza and shootsies. Its just not cool, erika.
1. Rock more. Just rock out and take pictures and love life and don’t sweat the small stuff and be less cliche and just rock.
Hope your 2009 is rockin so far! As always I’d love to hear from you about your resolutions, your new picture pursuits and anything else you got…
keep in touch.
erika.
