WHY do we have earlobes?

WHY do we have earlobes? What is the evolution in this?

I'm not going any farther than this other than writing the question down. In the past, I've researched many q's like this one and found the answer, just sitting there in Google. This time, I find myself more than content just knowing the answer is there...if I ever really needed it ;)

today's challenge: write down your various questions - just for the sake of writing them down. when there is no pressing need to analyze or figure stuff out, sometimes it's fun to just express the interesting question. someone else may have great fun figuring it out!

inshurance. yes, that's better.

why is insurance not spelled with an "sh"??
these are the type of q's that leave me anxious if I don't figure them out...

my mom learned to just make something up to relieve my inner curious george. if I have to do this about people, I come up with a game that fills in the blank with a positive.

we are all responsible for the stories we make up.

today's challenge: make something up for the positive if you don't know all the info regarding a person's motives.

make moves for the team

have you ever played a competitive game and someone on your own team did something that made you feel like they aren't on your team at all? if you did, you may have felt all the emotions and wonder why you were even playing. or perhaps you have done this yourself...

same thing happens in the home or at the workplace every day. we choose to be on the same team and before you even know it, it feels competitive and shocking.

today's challenge: make moves that are for the team. we are ALL on the same team in reality. ultimately, we share the same planet.

success or creativity

many of today's games reveal our current social values, just as the advertising industry connotes.

Have more. Do more. Be more.
[note: you don't have enuf. you aren't doing enuf. you don't already belong.]

today's challenge: reflect on the game of life you played today with others. tomorrow, live it as such: you already have enuf. you are doing enuf. you already belong.

the metrics of today's games

American board games were once focused on morals and now are about invented based on the metric of success.

Q: look at the board or video games you have at home. what are they teaching your children to measure?

annoyance can breed creativity.

isn't the slightest cramp of frustration nothing but a mask worn over extreme fury?

today's challenge: look inwards when you are annoyed. what do you really want? simply create it. you do have the power to do so.

your brand

just as a product has a perceived brand over time, so do you. your characteristics, your attitude, your look, your actions, your presence, your attention...it all builds a consistent brand - with or without you knowing it.

Q: is your brand perceived how you want it to be perceived?
today's challenge: you never know how you're perceived unless you ask.

10 things before you die

it was once said, “as it is written, so it shall be.”

since writing mine down over this last summer, i have realized 3 of the 10.
wow, i say.

today's challenge: write down the top ten things you want to do before you die.

There is no fear in love.

"There is no fear in love."

Today's Challenge: You know how you love to be loved. Getting hugs? Tickling your feet? Going on walks? Keeping the bedroom cleaned? Having dinner together? If your family would be up to this challenge, try writing/drawing how you love to receive love on blank index cards. You might be surprised! Add to the cards as years go by...

opposite hand shaking

since I've hurt my right-shaking hand, I've had to shake people's hands with my left. it creates a very interesting response. I think I'll do that for the rest of my life ~

today's challenge: when someone extends their dominant hand for a shake, grasp it with the opposite and see what happens.

color your mood: colorgenics

thinking

just as different colors effect your mood,
can your emotional status be analyzed
by testing your preference
for certain colors?

color psychologists have created methods to do just this and this is the one I like the best.

Q: how do you think this test was created?

your multimedia diary

creating: technology
