Over at Jamie Ridler's Studio today is the beginning of Next Chapter book blogging club. This time the book is "The Joy Diet" by Martha Beck. Here is the link to "The Joy Diet" Book Blogging on Jamie's site.
I am very happy to have found Jamie Ridler and this community of wise women/men. I have especially enjoyed the Wednesday Wishcasting and the Full Moon Dreamboards, it has helped me focus my creativity in new ways. So thanks to you all for your encouragement and support.
I am practing being positive as I can get bogged down by the negative so I wrote a quick poem about "The Joy Diet" with some positve affirmations based on the chapters in the the book. It is posted below.
So I wish us all much happiness as we embark on this joy diet together.
Namaste,
Karen (deldino)

Poem for the Joy Diet
Nothing I will do with my mind for 15 minutes a day,
Truth I will search for in my thoughts and words I say,
Desire I will look into my heart and reach for what I want,
Creativity I will let flow freely from its font,
Risk I will overcome fear and take that first step,
Treats I will give myself for every time I say YEP,
Play I will remember as I find my true North Star,
Laughter I will release to be heard both near and far,
Connections I will treasure as we travel this path to joy,
Feasting I will savor as well as anticipate and ENJOY

Oh how I wish I could join you on this journey! My Dad's visiting, I'm going to Toronto and then hubby comes home so it's not possible this time. Enjoy the Diet for me!
And I use a Canon Rebel most of the time. It's been very, very difficult getting to know this camera so your feedback on my photos really warms my heart. It's been so stressful and hard to get these photos and you really made a difference to me today with your words.
