Hello everybody!

It’s time! Next week I’ll be featuring some of the self-portraits that we’ve churned up. I’ve already gotten a taste of what we’ve done, and I’m very excited.

So. Here’s how we’ll do this. You can post it on your own blog (photo, song, poem, prose, whatever). AND/OR send it to me (mandy[at]mandythompson[dot]com) and I’ll put a few up next week.

If you’re interested, but have no idea what we’re talking about, click the link above and check it out. It’s all about being real and honest and vulnerable about how we see ourselves. And there’s still time to send yours in. You can knock it out over the weekend! yay!!

How’s that sound?

Send ‘em. I’m excited!!

How to get here from there.

  1. Clearly, and with as many details as are necessary, identify where “there” is.
  2. Consider where “here” is.
  3. Assess the route, distance, and time needed to get from here to there.
  4. Make note of any directional changes, obstacles, or detours.
  5. Decide what form of transportation is most suitable.
  6. Allot the necessary time needed to make this journey, while considering your desired time of arrival.
  7. Without hesitation, set off on course, and don’t consider turning back.
  8. Frequently review your list of directions, assess your surroundings, and maintain awareness of your constantly updating location.
  9. Maintain forward motion and be patient. It takes time to get from here to there.
  10. When you have arrived, make note of the fact that you have arrived. Announce and/or celebrate your arrival. Cease forward motion. Take your shoes off and rest.

TIPS: With everything in you, avoid any distractions or allurements that may draw you off course. Decide to only commit to any stops or course alterations if they benefit in helping you achieve arrival at “there.” Make these stops and course alterations as needed, while continuing to assess your ever-changing location in reference to “there.”

NOTE: People who set out without prepping or planning usually get lost.

Where’s your “there?” How are you gonna get “there?” Are you facing unnecessary distractions or hindered by obstacles? Ask others to help you. Keep moving.
