#AtoZChallenge Reveal
I decided to do the A to Z Blogging Challenge again this year.
As most of you know, I try to be positive and up beat no matter what life throws at me. But the latter part of last year found me sinking deeper and deeper into the dark abyss of negativity. I had to claw my way out. It wasn’t easy, by any means. But finding others who understood my situation, finally after 15 years, has really opened my eyes. If you’re interested in that story, I started another blog over at Caring For My Veteran, where I admit, explore, and work through the emotions of caregiving for my veteran.
So, sticking with last year’s Positive Post-It Notes theme, I will be doing another positive initiative. This one involves finding the positives within ME, writing them on a mirror and taking a picture. Reflecting the Personal Positives, is that a good theme title? What about Eliminating the Negative? If you have any suggestions for other titles, I’d love to hear them!
Can’t wait to see what you have up your sleeve for the A to Z Challenge! Good luck everyone!

Really nice place you got here, Lady Jai. You stand for so much and hang tough, there’s no greater example. About your theme query, I thought of Mirroring Positivity, but you can’t lose with your #1 pick. I look forward to experiencing your positive reflections : )

I like the positive-focused ‘mirror’ title with which you came up. :O) Looking forward for the A to Z!

I try to be positive too. I like to surround myself with positive people. Glad to meet you! My A-Z challenge is Family History & Genealogy.

Oh I LOVE Family History and Genealogy! I’ve dabbled in it there for a while until I hit a brick wall…something about needing to know Hungarian to trace that side of the family. 🙂 And German…well, anything other than my English Heritage is my brick wall. 🙁 Maybe one day I will have more time. But I am knowledgeable on my English heritage (Claypoole) all the way back to 1500 and then learned about the Wingate family that married into the Claypoole line. <3
Thanks for stopping by!

Very interesting theme. Will be checking back to read the posts. 🙂

I love your theme idea! Can’t wait to read all the positives.

That is a really creative theme! And we could all use the positive.
Wednesday, March 26th 2014 at 07:23 |
I agree. There is just too much negativity in the world today, especially aimed at ourselves…from ourselves. So, I’m trying to eliminate a little bit of my own negativity. 🙂 Hope you enjoy it.

I LOVE this theme!! Can’t wait to see what you come up with. April is going to be very positive!

I’m so glad you love it! I hope I can live up to last year’s posts. Have you seen those yet?

Negativity can suck us in like quicksand. Positive encouragement is always needed. Your theme should be a helpful one.

I hope I can show people that everyone can overcome their internal negative voice. This really was a challenge because I’ve never focused on my own positive attributes.
Tuesday, March 25th 2014 at 03:53 |
I love your theme and I remember your post it notes from last year. Look forward to your Reflections (I like that title better)
Tuesday, March 25th 2014 at 07:43 |
Thanks so much. I hope I can love up to last year’s posts 🙂
Tuesday, March 25th 2014 at 02:30 |
What a wonderful idea for a theme. I think Reflecting the Personal Positive is a great name. Its a good play on words. Good luck with all your posts.

I love word play and that’s why I think I will stick to Reflecting the Positives. Thanks for your input and I hope you like them.
Monday, March 24th 2014 at 21:39 |
I will be reading along. I need all the positive words I can find.
Tuesday, March 25th 2014 at 07:49 |
I hope I can help. This challenge is something that everone should try. We need to stop focusing on the negatives. We are all beautiful!
Monday, March 24th 2014 at 20:41 |
Sweet! Now that’s a theme. I LOVED your post-it notes last year, and I can’t wait to see your reflections. Dealing with difficulties or not, I adore you attitude. Here’s to being positive and bringing the cheese, eh?
Monday, March 24th 2014 at 18:42 |
I think that’s an awesome theme! Doesn’t really matter what you call it, that you’re focusing on the positive is really important. I also read your article on Serotonin Syndrome and found that most helpful as I used to be a chronic pain patient and still suffer depression. I take hand-fulls of pills a day for four OTHER chronic illnesses. I’m going to be much more careful these days about interactions. I’m glad you’re taking on the A-Z again! Welcome back!

LadyJai, This is a tremendous thing you are doing, caring for your wounded husband; a Veteran of our wars. I am humbled before this kind of love and care that I see and I know it is not easy for you. It puts everything into perspective. Your husband is awesome indeed, to have maintained his sense of humor through out all this, and it will serve him well in years to come.
I cannot wait to read your posts and I think your theme is wonderful! I look forward to doing the A to Z challenge with you this year! Mary aka Viola Fury and on Twitter @ViolaFury

Thank you so much. It has been a long road and challenge and the only eay I can get through is to remain positive. Sometimes it’s not so easy. But 24 years of marriage, 15 years of caregiving, we learn.
Monday, March 24th 2014 at 13:47 |
A really interesting choice of theme and very up-beat. Good luck with it and i look forward to your A to Z posts 🙂
Monday, March 24th 2014 at 12:33 |
That’s one heck of a brave challenge, and I look forward to following it. I would not find it easy to open myself up like that!
Monday, March 24th 2014 at 12:39 |
Thank you so much. I’ve been far too negative on myself for too long. It’s very important to me to find the positives. It keeps me happy and healthy. At least that’s the hope.
Monday, March 24th 2014 at 11:50 |
What a lovely theme! This will be a fantastic exploration for you and will no doubt impact your readers to find the positive within:)

Yes, I’d go with the first title too – positive means not even thinking about the opposite 🙂 Good luck and hope it brings you through ok.

I like the first title. It’s more positive sounding. 😉

Thanks, Patricia! Like I said, I’m leaning more that way too! 😀

Loved your Positive Post-it Notes last year so I KNOW I’m going to love this one. I’m going to collect those images and re – send them to you through the snail mail randomly the rest of the year 😉

This made me remember when I used to leave my kids ‘I love you’ messages on the bathroom mirror. I like your idea of taking photos….can’t wait to read what you post. Good luck in the A to Z Challenge. This will be my first year.
Friday, March 21st 2014 at 08:40 |
I like ‘Reflecting the Personal Positives’ as a title better than ‘Eliminating the Negative’. The first one is just cheerier!
*hugs*
Friday, March 21st 2014 at 08:49 |
Thanks for the input. I’m leaning more towards that, too because, you know, mirror….reflecting…. 😛
Friday, March 21st 2014 at 06:58 |
I loved your positivity theme last year and I look forward to this year’s!
Friday, March 21st 2014 at 08:49 |
thanks Fida! Hope you will like them just as well as last year. 🙂
Friday, March 21st 2014 at 02:05 |
I like the idea of posting positive notes on a mirror and taking a photo. I look forward to reading more from you!
Friday, March 21st 2014 at 08:50 |
Thanks Morgan. I hope you like them! It’s a real challenge coming up with 26 positive things about myself as well as making them all correspond to the letters of the alphabet. 🙂
