MOVING TO TUMBLR

Hey guys, so I decided to make the move over to tumblr.  The change of address is sandralynnthoughts.tumblr.com

Thanks for reading and hope you continue!

FALL

My roommate is so precious. Tonight we went for a bike ride together and she was SO excited about the fact that autumn is approaching. Her exact words were, 

"YAAAAAY! It's fall! Look at that beautiful fall harvest moon. It's time for crackling fires and hay rides and APPLE CIDER!"  

Like I said, she is precious. In fact, at this moment, she is explaining to me how she was mistaken and how it was not a harvest moon.  Rather, the harvest moon will happen this year on October 4 at 2:10 am.  She just now said, 

"We've got to see it. It's the best moon of the year! Mark that on your calendar."

I've never been a big enthusiast for this season.  However, with the way this year is going, that just might have to change.


I feel very hopeful this year.  Lots of little wonderful things have just added up so nicely. Like my wonderful new roommate or my fabulous new church family.  My cute little apartment and my super fun bike. Or how about fun new friendships and the rekindling of old ones. Hanging out on rooftops certainly makes the list.  And now, fall.  Fall is turning out to be a very joyful season. One that I can't wait to fully experience.

Soul Pancake Challenge #23

Challenge: Capture your past, present, and future. Write a letter to yourself at each point in time with Dalí-esque insight.


Dear Past, 
Chill your jets! Don't freak out so much and for goodness sakes put some more effort into your appearance.    
Also, you are not going to get a boyfriend so don't even stress about it.
Sincerely, Your Future


Dear Future,
Remember your ideals when it comes to human life and pain.  Please don't be bitter or boring.  If you are either of these things, change now!
Sincerely, Your Past


Dear Present, 
Keep your eyes open and go work out.
Sincerely, Yourself

Soul Pancake Challenge #22

Challenge: List five possible openings for your autobiography.

1. Instead of wearing my heart on my sleeve, I wore my brain.

2. I credit almost everything to my parents.

3. My obsession with music and dancing has been the one constant in my life.  It makes sense to me when nothing else can.

4. I've always considered myself an excellent judge of people.  But I love it when people prove me wrong.

5. The most defining moment of my life was when I realized how short life actually is.

Soul Pancake Challenges 19, 20, & 21

Hey everyone. When I discovered Soul Pancake, I made a pledge to myself that I would complete each and every challenge that they posted.  This has not changed.  However, even though I have completed challenges 19-21, I will not be posting the results/products on the blog.  The answers and art that I have come up with for these challenges are simply too personal for me to post online.  Looking towards the challenges in the future, I feel that there might be a couple more just like these where I will not be able to post the results. I do feel bad about this, but I would rather not post anything, than post something that isn't completely honest.

If you are interested in what these challenges are or would like to participate in them, they are listed here.

Challenge #19: Write a five item list of people who influence your art and how.
Challenge #20: Take a picture expressing that which is part of you but does not define you.
Challenge #21: List five prayers that were never answered.
