I'm hooked solely on your eccentricity.<br /><br />Yep, been here for creativity from the get-go. You had me at first glance of your clever Shit Theme. That, & a post I saw of your house... I think I remember an awesome mosiac shower & a retro-fridge. We creatives thrive on gimick appreciation & funky personal taste, apparently :-)<br /><br />LOVE this post. Just bookmarked it, so I can read it once a month... see how I'm doing. Keep myself fresh.

I especially liked "There are no mistakes, only lessons, and lessons are repeated until they are learned."<br /><br />That whole concept is so much bigger than blogging but definitely applies too. There have been plenty of times when I've been afraid to pull the trigger (publish) but keeping that thought in the back of my head is definitely going to keep me from hesitating so much in the future.

...I just thought: "YAY! New crayons!" :D <br /><br />But really great post, Jack! It definitely inspired me, and I've always admired your creativity on your blog. <br /><br />The thing I need to work on most is keeping a running list of ideas, which is probably where I failed with my first blog. Now that I'm in the realm of talking about life in general, as well as weight loss, and my obession with clothes, I feel like new doors have opened up for me, and I'm so glad I took the plunge.Hopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01179810079010403252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2297412163862522994.post-43741492571210098452010-08-11T08:34:49.241-05:002010-08-11T08:34:49.241-05:00Write down every idea!

As for your connections comment, I am always amazed at how taking a different look at the world can change what the world gives you.

I will even step out of the box here and admit that one of my deep down, often unspoken beliefs, is that it is hiding our creativity that leads to overeating. (or any other addiction for that matter) We are trying to feed our stifled imagination and creativity! <br />That is why I read your blog EVERY single day. You keep that spark alive for me!Jules - Big Girl Bombshellhttp://www.biggirlbombshell.comnoreply@blogger.com
