JAMIE’S BLOG – YEAR 9
power – 20 days to go
{trust}  

There are 20 days left of The Promise 365! 

Sometimes the most simple things are the most powerful. I have learned many lessons over the past nine years, including love, fearlessness, abundance, peak performance, bliss, joy, and kindness. All of them have one thing in common, trust. 

It’s funny to be on this side of making promises. Now, that I know this is my last one (who would have thought trust would be the grand finale?) I am in awe of how they all connect together through the power of trust. 

It takes trust to love. It takes trust to be kind. It takes trust to go after peak performance and to follow your bliss, tap into joy, and live in abundance.

It is the simple power of trusting yourself. And that is simply powerful. 

So here’s to trusting yourself in all that you do.
You got this 
Trust me!

JAMIE’S BLOG – YEAR 8 – DAY 139 :: a path of joy

17 May
{future forward}

I’m all about promises. I love promises. I keep my promise all year long. And, the best part is I never know where it will take me. It is a path that winds out before me and I can never quite see around the corner. But I can always look back and know exactly where I’ve been.

Life is a lot like that. We see the path we’ve been down so clearly. The secret, it seems, is to have that same amount of clarity for the path ahead. And then follow it.

Maybe that’s why I make so many promises, year after year. It’s like blazing a trail, setting a vision, holding to a dream and then following the path — wherever it takes me, even though I can never see the destination. 

This year, joy is taking me on a ride. Down a path. Into the future!
We’ll see where it goes…

Where are you going?

More tomorrow…

Lovemore,
Jamie

JAMIE’S BLOG – DAY 361 :: looking ahead at stretch goals

28 Dec

Today’s bliss…a glimpse of the future.

Tonight I stretched. It wasn’t just a few yoga moves here and there, but a real stretch goal for the coming year. 

I usually wait until New Years Day to announce my next promise. But this time, I’m getting a head start. Partly to rev myself up and also to (selfishly) invite you to join me! It’s always more fun when there’s more than one.

So that said. Here’s the promise:
To do yoga every single day for 365 days.

What? Yes. Yoga. Every. Single. Day.
It’s not a crazy promise. It’s not out of line, out of question, out of the realm of reality. But I am out of shape. And it’s time that this body that has survived (beautifully I might add) many surgeries takes on a STRETCH goal.

You see, things are getting tight in the muscular department and a little too soft in some other departments. So it’s time to TAKE ACTION.

Because I believe in writing down goals and I believe in taking action every single day on what is most important I am making this promise. Sometimes the TO DO list is way too long to get anything TA DONE. But I know if I focus on what is most important, it happens, one way or another.

So for 2016, I am focused on loving more and doing more… starting with my physical shape. But I know it will lead to a much bigger, deeper, impactful promise — because it always does. 

So…. who wants to join me??!!!

More tomorrow.
Lovemore,
Jamie

JAMIE’S BLOG – DAY 360 :: wrapping up

27 Dec

Today’s bliss…a story for the ages.

Christmas already seems like a week ago. But today was another sort of gift we wrapped up – our official Star Wars movie day. 
 

Just like being a child again, with big eyes watching a big screen, this movie seemed to be the grand finale of the holiday. Much like a family gathering, the movie met us with both new characters and old acquaintances to remember all over again.

And that has me thinking about Stories. The beginning, middle and end that wrap us all together. The stories of Christmas Past, Christmas Present and the hopes for Christmas future. Echoing with the time that we did this, that, and do you remember when? Memories in the making. Ones that speed by way too fast.

Just like the great Story that we saw play out on the big screen today. There were no lulls, no sticking points, no weird plot lines, just pure anticipation, reaction, and glimpses of what might come next but not wanting to get there too soon. Otherwise known as being Present. 

Maybe the best gift of all.

Speaking of being Present, I’m trying to remain focused on the Bliss of this year. But I know all too well a New Year is to arrive all too soon. So, tomorrow, I will share my new Promise. Maybe you too will want to come along too? 

More tomorrow.
Lovemore,
Jamie

JAMIE’S BLOG – DAY 352 :: bliss of the heart

22 Dec

Today’s bliss…a real photo.

Sent to me tonight: a heart! In the rain! In the garage! 

I love this photo, not because the rain drops created a heart. And not because the heart is almost practically perfectly shaped (seriously!).

I love it because Jaynane sent this photo my way, knowing I would love it. And being thought of and remembered is always a matter of the heart.

Heart. Bliss.

More tomorrow.
Lovemore,
Jamie

JAMIE’S BLOG – DAY 351 :: bliss-more-light

21 Dec

Today’s bliss…the light is coming.

It’s the longest night of the year. Or the shortest day. Depending on how you look at it. And I guess that’s what bliss boils down to… it’s all in how you look at it.

Happy Solstice.
Here’s to more light. Longer days. And a New Year on its way!

More tomorrow.

Lovemore,
Jamie

JAMIE’S BLOG – DAY 350 :: blissfully scrabbled

20 Dec

Today’s bliss…words and letters.


We just finished out the weekend with a grand finale of Scrabble.
Ah, Words. The only thing I love more is games. Ah, Games.

And that makes me think of Christmas.
Here’s to the season!  And if you need some Scrabble gift ideas, go here.
Have a happy week, and a merry holiday!

More tomorrow.

Lovemore,
Jamie

JAMIE’S BLOG – DAY 347 :: may the force be with you

17 Dec

Today’s bliss…no wars.

On this night of the official debut of Star Wars The Return Of A Childhood Phenomenum, I am reminded that the best blissful wishful thinking of all would be no wars at all. 


Here’s to peace on earth. May bliss be with you.

(And…don’t tell me what happened in the movie because I haven’t seen it yet.)

More tomorrow.
Lovemore,
Jamie

{peace}
