100 Ways I Could Nurture Myself (2 of 100)

Poll: Do you prefer to do list swaps electronically or by mail?

http://simonesbutterfly.synthasite.com/100ListsSwap.php

That link isn't working for me, but I prefer mail, definetly.

By the way, I personally think 5 days to send is a little short, some of us can only get to the post office once a week...at least 7 days?

In order to vote I had to take off the end of the link (100ListsSwap.php) and just go to your main site. Then from there link onto the right section. Something with the formatting with SB doesn't make posting a link easy here.

main site being http://simonesbutterfly.synthasite.com

See if this works

nope sorry that didn't work...sorry for all the comments...just trying to figure out how to make your link work

Thanks Tinkergirl

http://simonesbutterfly.synthasite.com/ then click on 100ListsSwap

Seems like to 2 people so I got it working 1 each direction.

Bundabergsangel, thank you for the suggestion I will lengthen it!

Simply click on the swap homepage above and it should take you there.

I voted for snailmail because I prefer to write lists like this by hand, somewhere away from the computer, but I could scan them in (or type them).

I hope it's international this time! I was so sad I didn't get to join in the first one! I'll have to create my own after I had completed 99 of these lol, or I'll feel there's something missing ^_^

(I voted for snail mail, but I'd like to type them in a nice paper and print my own... my hands hurt when I handwrite too much)

The first is international also

I'm insane... I guess I saw a similar one that was USA only, because I joined and then the coordinator told me it was USA only, thanks for letting me know, I joined too!

I'm happy this in International. I've got 40 so for. I AM NOT doing this one in one sitting! :-)

Do what works for you.

I'm as excited for this swap as I was the last one! Thanks for opening our eyes to a new way of learning, Simone!

count me in , i love lists and i love the challenge to sit down and put some real meaning into the lists as well.

hmmmmmmm have just completed my 1st list and signed up for this then realised i'm a complete spanner and am not sure what you mean by nuture? can you give me a few eg's so i don't write out 100 wrong ideas! : s

I started this free blog related to this swap, so folks can share their lists and enthusiasm! Take a look and give me some feedback:

http://listof100.wordpress.com/

I will ask the same thing as anwyn, I'd love to be sure of what do you mean by nurture =D

jennhx - I love the blog design.

I just updated my address! Yay! To who ever get's me: please make sure you are sending it to ohio, THANKS!!!!! Sorry for the trouble! <3chai

Anwyn & Priscila, I'll give my own two cents about nurturing. I think it means ways you support, encourage, or sustain yourself. It refers to ways you take care of yourself. Anything that nourishes or sustains your well-being (both mental and physical) can be nurturing to you. Some things nurture one aspect of yourself, some nurture you as a whole being. Some examples: taking a long bath, exercising, allowing yourself time daily for reflection and meditation, doing something creative each week, there are at least 100 ways for each person! :)

This is going to be difficult. I am guessing it is okay to write down new ideas that you dont do yet. I am going to your vote site, but like others i think snail mail is better. It gives you time to get away from the computer ad get alone and really dig in and think!

Thanx - Jennhx I seem have missed that question and your answer is exactly right.

Timeless - it can include new ways as well.

In sense its things we have done and new ideas of what we could do. Anything to renew yourself.

Some definitions: nourish; educate; foster, help develop, help grow

I am definitely going to keep it snail-mail and just one partner - for hearts you probably include something that matches something on list or with the topic.

And those who would like to share their list with us can post it our blog. This will be really great because we can really learn from each other.

My list is ready!!

Cool Angelstar.

The rest of the swaps will be up soon and will also be on the blog.

thanks a lot that what i thought but just wanted to check may go shut myself away and do my list. this will be great when we have all the list's completed. i vote for snail mail to!

I voted snail mail because I don't get the same thrill when opening and reading mail that has been typed & printed out in simple black and white, so I wouldn't expect others to either! =)

I also didn't know what was meant by nurture, and I was almost going to drop out because of it! But I shall give it a go, I just feel sorry for my partner!! I'm aiming to do all of these lists!

snail mail is the way to go!

this list is harder than the first one. i hope i can reach a hundred (:

im stuck at 40,,,unless i start breaking things down more..

There are definitely things on my grateful list that crossover with with my nurture list - does that make sense

Is there a US only one of these?

Not that I know of. I am in South Africa.

Wow! This swap is on the top 10!

I made it to 100 several days ago. This one was hard, but I did it. I think if I did it anyone can do it. I hope everyone comes up with 100!! I want to receive 100! Not 40. Not 50. Not 60. BUT 100!!

I need to drop from this. I am not good at nurturing myself and my hubby is not doing well lately, so I really don't have time to think of myself, although I know that's what I should be doing. Thanks for understanding.

Sorry to hear that whinedine. Hope things go better with your husband soon.

I think part of challenge here is tapping into our reserves and finding more ways to nurture ourselves. We generally so busy taking care of others that even if we get a moment to ourselves we don't know what to do.

My daughter has started grade 1 this year. I have been so absorbed in making sure that she has everything she needs and feels special that I keep forget to organise and pack my own lunch. This has gone on for 2 weeks!! I mean should be simple I pack hers, I pack mine - right! but.......

Haha, after I send out my 'hard crack' 100 things that I am grateful, I have other things to feel grateful about, can I lisy down something different on the blog instead? :P

I agree with bundabergsangel about the swap time frame. I'm in Milwaukee and can hardly get out my driveway much less to the post office on most days (we've had over 2 feet of snow in the last week) so it'd be great if I had a little more time. That said, even with the difficulty in getting the item posted I do prefer snail mail. :)

My list is ready to go for my partner!

For those of you who are struggling to make your list, have you read the blog that Simone links us to? There are tips and information on how to make your list (maybe make a bit easier?) and you might want to check it out!

Last day for signing up!

Partners will be allocated over the weekend.

Thank you for joining this swap.

Morning one and all

I am just waiting to be given the option to press the link that allocates partners.

Just a note to let know whats happening.

Have a great day.

duplessis3 - yours is off in the mail as of today from Portland, OR! It should be there early next week!

I put mine in the mail today with a few little "extras." :-)

Mine is off.

Wow this wasn't as easy as I originally thought. I seen some of my duplicate answers and will try to work on those...since they kept coming to me...

Thx for hosthing this letter challenge.

It's going in the mail tonight after I re-write it and make my list pretty...lol!

xOxO Tanya

A letter is en route to my partner. Enjoy!

Sultrypeacock - Just letting you know that I posted your swap today. :)

I posted my swap today! .. Had to redo the entire list!! I wrote it up a week ago, but now I can't find the original. What a pain! .. informative though-- I hope I can get ahold of both lists together some time to see what crossover there actually is!

ps. It wasn't any easier the second time around.

greyeyes, your envelope is going out tomorrow (2/27). i'm so sorry for the delay!

Seems like all are sent out - please contact your partner if you don't get anything in the post before you rate them.

And don't forget to rate your partner.

Thank you for participation.
