There is always the one thing that pushes for the final decision and the big announcement even though everyone around seems to know what the outcome is going to be. I have been mortified at the responses of my friends when I tell them that I am continuing to blog ‘project me’ on a daily basis for yet another year.

Clearly I was the last one to figure it out, but I’m still making the big decision as though it were up for serious contemplation. I have had enough time to think about it and contemplated many scenarios of the future of ‘project me the blog’ because the journey is never ending. Continue reading

That’s literally where the pain has settled itself. I feels like I’m sitting on it and when I told the chiro I felt as though a sumo wrestler should sit on, she didn’t think that was the wisest idea. I feel as though I’m running out of ideas but she seems to have faith for the both of us that my body will heal.

It’s a pity that there aren’t other remedies for the other types of pain in the butt that I have to deal with. Like:

When I’m stressed I cough. It’s this type of asthma thing that I chose as an additional kicker with all the other drama in my life. So my butt hurts like hell, but when I cough it feels as though someone whacks me in the ass with a hammer. So I try not cough because of the pain but the whole back issue is making me cough because of the stress it’s causing … pain in the butt.

I’m most comfortable lying down and have finally discovered the only couch in the house that totally relieves my back and that I can balance my laptop nicely on my knees while my feet are supported on the armrest. Yay four the thought of hours of writing again … if only the chiro hadn’t have burst my bubble and told me that lying flat all day is the worst thing for my back … damn, pain in the butt. Continue reading

I have this little obsession. Alright, I admit to having a few of them but that’s for another blog. Today it’s about the obsession with my stats and social networking followings. Some might think it’s unhealthy but I think that it drives me to achieve more, write more and connect more. On the other hand, it has made me realise that I need to grow a thick skin … and fast!

I need tea … it’s always a clear indication of my blogging state when I have at least 3 hot cups of tea during my spontaneously free writing spree.

I battle to distinguish between excitement and being petrified sometimes. It always hits me in the stomach and sends waves and anxiety and these false signals that I’m constantly hungry … hence I’ve been eating a ridiculous fortune and the goings on seem to give me this license to forget that ‘project me’ is just as much about my body and my health as it is about my work success.

Today literally feels like 3 days in one, but then again this year feels like it should have been spread over at least 3 years and it’s just over half way.
My morning began with needing to get my totally non punctual mother to my permanent make-up appointment on time. She was having a facial while I was having ink seeped into my eyelids by a fine needle and a buzzing machine. Does that sound painful enough? I hate being late. It does something to my blood and it is only perpetuated at the thought of having my eyes tattooed. I could feel my blood boiling inside, only for my precious mother to tell me that I’m driving like Michael Schumacher. Parents!! Continue reading

So there’s thing guy who has been chatting to me for a few days.

I’ve decided that it’s time I find out the collective way that men think even though ‘project me’ is about doing it my way anyway.

Anyway, back to the guy. Continue reading

Your eyes do not deceive you. I am blogging twice in one night and all in desperate need to keep to my self inflicted promise of blogging daily. I know that I could change that at any time, but the crazy things is that not one part of me wants to. I love blogging daily for so many reason … but something happened on day 191.

I meditate in the mornings and my mediations are as unique and strange as I am. If I had to compare myself to others who meditate I might conclude that someone in the equation is a little crazy. I don’t watch my mind and I don’t try to still it either. I don’t listen to guided visualisation or sit in a meditation position. Continue reading

Finally! My days of chaos and avoidance are beginning to subside and I can drop the veil of superficial calm and reveal the truth behind the past few weeks. Yes, it’s been that bad!
It’s been a time when the saboteur in me has raised it’s mighty sword and been determined to head into battle and fight against all that I believe in.  You know … the big ones like myself, my body, love and the integrity of mankind.

Those are a few tough battles to fight right there, but to have them all surface at the same time has been well worth hiding until the battle was won and I could write about something partially victorious. Continue reading

By now you’ve figured that I distract myself (and you) from what’s happening in life until I get my head around it sometimes and usually do that getting to know myself a little better. No greater way than asking random questions about who I am and what life is really all about.
So, I found these questions floating around the net and I’m sure they are supposed to be answered seriously … but it’s so cold that my toes are aching, I should have been on a date tonight but he’s gone AWOL and ‘project me’ is sounding like a bit of a stuck record … so why not do the one thing I know I can do … Laugh at life!!!

The new look of jodene.co.za

Yesterday finally signalled relaunch day for my website and big reveal day for my second blog. Behind the scenes I’ve been secretly working on branding my specially designed products and preparing the first blog posts.

I’m the worst at having a surprise and not being able to share it. Christmas time is a nightmare for me because I have to buy my presents early to avoid the shopping rush, but then I’m forced to sit with the secret of the gifts and not spoil my friends for days … Continue reading
