Jedidiah‘s Spring 2012 Collection was inspired by NIKA WATER and their efforts to bring clean water to the developing world.

Another great rock climbing video. Brian “Cuz” Hedrick’s crushes his latest problem, The Swarm (V14), in Bishop, California (a place with amazing climbing and on my “Most GO!” list). “Projecting is a new endeavor for me, I used to focus on things I knew I could do quickly. With this departure I think I’ve become a much better climber, and I’m excited to see where I progress to” says Cuz. Sometimes the process of figuring out the problem in order to master it is much more satisfying than completing the route on your first try (life lesson?). “Patience and dedication.” That’s my climbing (and life) motto…

Yes, I realize it is now 2012, but I still have unmet goals left from my twelve by 2012 challenge! I’m determined to finish ALL of them. Did you participate in this challenge started by Danni over at oh, hello friend? Did you finish your goals? Are you still working on them?

Completed goals:

Goal #1. Run a half marathon. Done!

Goal #4. Complete a V3 route. Done, and now working on V4s!

Goal #5. Apply for school. In December, this changed to “Apply for jobs!” I now work as a freelance editor and interior decorator/stylist!

Goal #6. Host a “stock-my-bar” party. Done!

Goal #7. Pray more. Prayer is an amazing thing.

Goal #8. Double my savings. See #5. Getting laid off puts a wrench in some plans…

Goal #10. Respond to my Facebook messages. Done!

Goal #12. Print this list, and check off goals 1 – 11 once they are met. Done, and in progress!

Still to do…

Goal #2. Create a Bull City Salon logo stencil and start tagging.

Goal #3. Read (or listen to) 5 books. I finished 3, so only 2 more to go.

Goal #9. Eat a gluten-free diet for one week. Still to do!

Goal #11. Cook Jillian a fabulous, healthy meal. I’ve cooked a bunch, but still need to cook one special for her!

Wish me luck!

How AMAZING is this dog? What a champ! At first I though, “Animal cruelty?” but then realized it’s just Theron Humprey’s love for his dog and photography! Theron is traversing across the country, with his dog apparently, telling the stories of everyday people in his project This Wild Idea. The MADDIE THE COONHOUND project must have spontaneously came about on his journey. How funny.

True. But, I am tired of the rough seas.
