What is Your 2012 One Word Theme?

Posted by MJ on Jan 9, 2012 in Inner Rockstar | 0 comments

Ok, in the last post I talked about my one word theme for 2011. Before I tell you my word for 2012, do you understand the one word theme?

It was something I read on Mari Smith’s blog years ago. But the basic concept is that for many of us it is pretty hard to make resolutions that you will still be doing a month from now, never mind a few months or a year.

The one word theme gives you a touchstone that you can decide and factor into the things you do. You can use it to change multiple areas of your life.   Or use it as a guide, something you want to align yourself with to grow throughout the year.

2010 I believe my word was Growth.
2011  the word was Change.
2012 This year my word is Devoted.

On FB someone asked about one word themes and someone responded their word was “Devoted” the word resonated within me.

Why Did I Foster Puppies?

Posted by MJ on Oct 30, 2011 in Rockstar | 0 comments

There are two puppies sleeping in the other room. They are sweet, adorable and not mine. No, I didn’t kidnap puppies. The breeder is giving them varied experiences by allowing me to raise them for a couple of weeks.  I mentioned them in The Changes of Marky Mark Wahlberg but wanted to explain more

The couple of weeks is their ages 6 weeks up to 12 weeks … 2 litters. 2 puppies then 5 puppies. A lot of puppy sitting and care-taking…

The question I got before people saw their pictures is why. And then how can you let them go and why…

Why?

Well, this is not going to be a short answer. I have been thinking I need some routine shake ups recently. My routine is rather uh… routine, and I have gotten lazy in my scheduling. I know I can work faster, but why should I?

See the truth is, I don’t have much of a life offline. In my past I made friends with some people who weren’t very nice. Let me rephrase, I thought they were my friends but they were using me and once I broke free of that, they threatened… my dog, my house, my parents, stalked me, egged my car, and assorted other things. They never made real threats more of letting me know “things can happen.”

There are other people here, classmates (love you guys) but I am the one who is without children and single more often than not . They have kids parties and talk about children, and what they are going to do with their significant other.  Let’s face it, after this much time I am the confirmed bachelorette, except I don’t have the wild parties or dating that the confirmed bachelor does.
