Blog Meme: Twitter Name
From my good friend, @patrickrhone:
Want to start a new blog meme: Excepting folks who use their real name. Tell the story of your twitter name.
I have always used my fullname for account names through various and sundry services that I use. I don’t feel that using made up names for services provides any value for my use of that service. I am a fairly transparent person when it comes to...
My Little Sassafras
Well, since all of my friends are tugging at the strings with pics of their little girls, I thought that I would join the fray as well!
Madison is my little 4 year old spitfire! As you can see, she tries to get her way all the time. Sometimes she does, a lot of times she doesn’t, and this is what her mother and I have to see. I always thought that it would be weird to have a little girl...
Cup O' Joe 2 Go: #reverb10: On Friendship →
jasonechols:
Today’s prompt came from Martha Mihalick.
December 16
Friendship
How has a friend changed you or your perspective on the world this year? Was this change gradual, or a sudden burst?
When I was younger, friendship for me was something that was an outlet for me. I am somewhat embarrassed to admit that though I cared greatly about my friends, my personal investment in those...
#reverb10: Five Minutes
I have not been a diligent reverb’r lately, so I am going to try to jump back on the bandwagon today.
December 15 – 5 Minutes
Imagine you will completely lose your memory of 2010 in five minutes. Set an alarm for five minutes and capture the things you most want to remember about 2010. (Author: Patti Digh)
As I stated in my first Reverb 10 post, 2010 was not the best of years for me....

practicalopacity:
Herein lies an interesting filter through which to pass every status update/post/tweet/submission: “If I was sitting and having coffee with these friends right now, would we actually bother talking about this? Does it matter?” If it doesn’t matter enough to warrant thoughtful, reflective conversation, then what value does it hold, exactly?
Typically wonderful insight from...
#reverb10: Moment
On the third day of Reverb, a moment came to me…
Day 3: Moment Pick one moment during which you felt most alive this year. Describe it in vivid detail (texture, smells, voices, noises, colors).
My moment occurred this past summer as I was coaching my 7 year old son’s baseball team. We were playing in the Alabama State Playoffs during a particularly hot July day. It was our first...
#reverb10: On Writing
Today, Leo Babauta offers us our Reverb 10 prompt:
December 2 - Writing. What do you do each day that doesn’t contribute to your writing — and can you eliminate it?
By nature, I am not a writer. I never really have been. But, lately, reading the great posts that are put up by the likes of Patrick Rhone, Randy Murray, Aaron Mahnke and many others, I have begun to think about taking my writing a...
#reverb10: Stress and Focus
I have decided to participate in Reverb 10 for the month of December. It is a month long event to get folks “to reflect on your year and manifest what’s next.” Daily prompts will be sent out bythe organizers and authors for us to reflect on and act on accordingly, whether that be through words, drawings or photos.
Today is the first day for Reverb 10 and the prompt was posted as...
