  • NaPodPoMo #31 – The Post Show

    A quick note to let everyone know they can grab their “I Did It!” badge on the NaPodPoMo Ning site. A very big THANK YOU to fellow NaPodPoMo participant Laura Ross of the Coffee and Tea Show for the great badge. Also wanted to let you know that the Ning site is closed to new members. As current members you can access the site all you want. Since NaPodPoMo is over it doesn’t make sense to keep enrollment open. But rest assured that next year we’ll be hitting NaPodPoMo 2008 with a vengence…..er….well….we’ll give it another go and open up the site to everyone who wants to join in the fun.

    Thanks once again for a great month.

  • A New Month and New Projects Underway

    With the beginning of a new month, I’m beginning a new project utilizing the NaPodPoMo template. Just tacking the project bit by bit, day by day.

  • NaBloPoMo Day 30 – 30 Days of Blogging Success!

    I am glad to have taken part in the National Blog Post Month 2007. Coupled along with the NaPodPoMo 2007 event made two of the items on my wish list come true. At the start of it all, I said I wanted to blog and podcast more often. Although I had several podcasts and a blog I never felt I could tackle it on a daily basis. Then along came all the buzz for NaNoWriMo and then I heard about NaBloPoMo and NaVloPoMo. All happening during the month of November. What better way to dive right in head first into something I’ve been wanting to do than to tackle it along with several thousand other folks?

    Success by doing something alongside others even though I had never met a single person who was embarking on this challenge with me. Just knowing there were others plugging away at all hours to do their 30 days of blogging made it easier for me to see this through. It was almost as if I had an obligation to each and every one of them as much as I had an obligation to myself. So thanks. Thanks for being my blogging partners even though we never met.

    I’ll be back next year for NaBloPoMo 2008.

    You can count on it.

  • NaPodPoMo #30 – Congratulations & Thanks

    What an amazing experience. Congratulations to those that “ran the race” and saw it through. It was a true challenge. One that we can each take pride in having participated in this first time event

    I also want to send a note of appreciation for all of the 49 NaPodPoMo participants. Whether you started with the pack or got here as fast as you could each and everyone of us made this event a success.

    See you back next year for NaPodPoMo 2008.

  • NaBloPoMo Day 29 – The Tale End?

    With only 1 more day to go before the NaBloPoMo challenge is complete it almost seems as though it didn’t happen at all.  It has gone by relatively fast and the fact that we’ve been doing this for 29 days seems unreal. I almost don’t believe it and I’m the one who did it.

    So with only 1 more day to go, I’m left to ponder my daily blogging and podcasting future. It’s tempting to stop, but also tempting to just keep going. I’ve heard that it takes 30 days to make or break a habit. I would say that after tomorrow I will have created a new habit for myself. Daily podcasting & blogging.

    What does that mean? Well it could mean that I’m free to continue the NaPodPoMo and NaBloPoMo experiences. When I look back on the last months posts I see bits of myself in both the audio and written format.  Yet I haven’t even begun to scratch the surface of the things I’m passionate about. Things that interest me. Things that are fun. Things that me go ???

    After all tomorrow is another day.

  • NaPodPoMo #29 – Seeing Something Through

    Going through the NaPodPoMo experience has taught me a lot of things. One of which is that I can podcast everyday in the month of November. Who knew?

  • NaBloPoMo Day 28 – Sharing in the Community

    With NaPodPoMo & NaBloPoMo & NaNoWriMo & NaVloPoMo going on all at the same time. It has really made the sense of community come alive. Even though we are all doing each of these events by ourselves we feel as though we are a small part of something bigger. Each one essential to the making of the whole event.

    I know that I’ve felt completely connected during the NaPodPoMo & NaBloPoMo events to each and every one of you. So yeah, to Social Networking and the power of our individual efforts combining into one big effort

  • NaPodPoMo #28 Community

    Coming together to take part in NaPodPoMo brings out the sense of community.

  • NaBloPoMo Day 27 – Refreshing

    Something I’ve learned after yesterdays frustration is that just like the Good Book says, (and I’m paraphrasing here to save me from getting up to look up the exact verse)  “Each and every day is new”. It’s been refreshing to realize that although yesterday was a tough day that today is a day that I can start anew.

    I’ll admit to having a fleeting moment of dread when I hit record for my NaPodPoMo #27 post. Thankfully after an initial moment of nerves I was glad to find the “old me” again. Whew!

    The ability to bounce back is an inherent part of being human. When we’re in our personal “darkest hour” it’s easy to doubt our triumphant return.  Luckily we have our own experience and faith to see us through.

  • NaPodPoMo #27 – Fun

    For me, the NaPodPoMo experience has been a fun and rewarding experience. I hope it was for you, too.
