are you in?
Posted: August 12, 2010 at 6:00 am****Please note: This movement may have started on September 1, but it is ongoing and you may join at any time. Simply begin commenting on the daily 30 days posts or comment below that you're interested and I'll add you to the contact list so you can get daily emails with a link to the post, as well as any other correspondence. I look forward to working with you to promote a positive environment in the blogosphere and beyond. 🙂
CHECK OUT THE ANNOUNCEMENT if you haven’t already!! That is the main post that shares what I have planned for September (and hopefully beyond) on my blog. This short post strictly serves as the “sign-up” for those interested in joining the 30 days of self reflection. Participating in this challenge of sorts requires only 3 simple steps.
1. Comment on this post letting me know of your interest. Please do this! It will help me know who is involved and be able to more easily reach those participating if needed. Plus, it will be a form of investment in yourself and let us all know who plans to support each other. You don’t HAVE to comment here to be able to comment on reflection posts, but I would appreciate knowing who plans to participate or is participating.
2. For each of the 30 days, take about 5 minutes to reflect on the daily topic. I will send out a monthly schedule of the topics to those who comment on this post so if you are unable to read the blog you can still experience the peace of the reflection.
3. Comment on as many posts as possible to share your insights/experiences and uplift others. I don’t expect everyone involving themselves in this to have the time to read and comment on every single morning post. I don’t want this to become a “to-do” in peoples’ lives. I want there to be more focus on taking the few minutes for reflection over anything else. However, participating with comments helps you to declare the affirmations and something about having them in writing makes it feel more real. Also, I’m hoping for this to continue in future months and plan to include thoughts/quotes from other bloggers in future reflection posts.
Peter & I spent a few hours creating a button for this movement of self reflection. If you believe this can help others as much as I do, I would be truly honored if you would include it on the sidebar of your blog.
To do so…simply copy the code from the textbox below and paste in a text widget for your sidebar. Let me know if you put the button on your site. I’ll be sure to check it out and give you a special shout out. 🙂
ARE YOU IN?
**You can join whenever – before September, right at the start, or anytime during the month. This post’s comments will remain open for people to share their participation.

What a wonderful challenge! I am definitely in
And I added the button to my blog 🙂
I have had this self-care idea rolling around since July. I would love to be part of this in September. Thanks!
This is such a great idea! Count me in! I’m on my way back to my blog to post the button.
I really really need to do this for myself.
I’m in!
Thank you so much for your support! I’m super excited for it. 😀
Please add me to your list. This is a long overdue challenge!!
I would love to add this link to my blog, but I have no idea. I have been messing with it all day and I cannot figure it out!! grrr!! 🙁
What a great idea! I’m in and the link’s already up 🙂
Absolutely LOVE this. So glad I found your blog. Thank you for doing this. Looking forward to the first, it’s up on my blog right now!
I would enjoy having your reminders every morning – Sign me up 🙂 – Thanks for stopping by my blog.
I think this is a great way for us to stay real, stay grounded, keep things in perspective and help us prioritize in these busy lives we live. Thanks for the insights.
I am in. It’s my birthday month and I can’t think of a better way to celebrate that month than to take time to love myself! Thank you for the link, I am SO excited to do it!
What a great concept! I love the idea of setting aside specific time each day to reflect on self love and your positive attributes! It’s amazing how we can all be so busy in our daily lives moving quickly and taking care of others, and forget to take care of ourselves! Thanks for linking this. xoxo.
What a great idea! Count me in!
Thanks for your interest and participation! I’m excited and greatly appreciate it!
Count me in! This sounds great 🙂 I’m looking forward to reading others’ comments and sharing this experience with you all.
I added the button to my site, too 🙂
I posted to my blog (and put the button on the sidebar!)
What a cool idea. I’m in. 🙂
I AM SOOO IN! 🙂
Thanks for joining! I’m really excited for it an appreciate the support. 🙂
I’m in. Not sure why it took me so long. Great idea, by the way. Kinda wish I had thought of it. 🙂
hey girl…i thought i’d already posted on here…? i’ve had the button on my blog since you posted it though 🙂 count me in please!
Haha! I thought you had too. 😀
I’m in! I feel so blessed to have stumbled across your blog tonight and would love to be a part of this movement.
I was so moved by your ‘announcement post’ – your sharing of your story and your courage in coming forward with this to help yourself and others.
I come from the same background: I survived anorexia and work every day not to relapse, and have just started to think about what I might be able to do that would help others beside myself to do better with it. So, you are an inspiration to me.
I’ll probably postpone putting the button on my blog until tomorrow, so that I can give it a shout-out in my blog post also.
love
Ela
I think this challenge is exactly what I need right now. I’m so glad I found your blog!

Tina! I am way late responding, but you already know I am 100% in!! I think this sounds like a much better way for me to reflect on myself without the pressure of meditation. I’ll try to get a post up on my blog about it as well before the month is out to get some extra recruits, the button is already up on my sidebar 🙂 You’re doing a fabulous thing here Tina!
Thank you so much for the support Susan. It means a lot to me. I can’t wait to read your thoughts on it all. And a post if you’re able to do one. Don’t feel pressured though. 🙂
I want to be “in”. Please include me in your newsletters.
You’re added! Can’t wait for next week. 😀
Count me in! I was half a block of cheese, a package of crackers, and several chips in to yet another binge when I came across a link to this post. I need this. Thank you!
Oh man I have been there. Hope this experience brings great things to you and all of us participating. Look forward to reading your comments and hearing your thoughts.

I am new to your blog and am most definitely IN for the 30 days challenge. I had a rough August and have been looking forward to turning the calendar over and starting September. This will be just what I need. Am looking forward to reading more of your blog and getting to know you. It seems we are neighbors – I am in East Tennessee.
I just found your blog today. What perfect timing. You have no idea. Count me in.
This sounds great!! I just stumbled upon this and I posted a similar reflection on my blog today. I will gladly add the button to my page. 🙂
I’d love to take part!
