O You Line-up

Here we go!

O Wow!

Well it's 6:15am and I'm in line for O You! I met some lovely ladies in my hotel lobby. Apparently I'm not the only excited early riser!

The lineup is long but the spirits are high. Stay tuned for updates all day!

Atlanta!

I'm now in the back of a taxi in Atlanta, blogging so I don't watch the driver navigate traffic. Next stop is check-in at the hotel, then find something half decent to eat. Why does airport food have to be so nasty? And expensive?

On the road!

It's Friday morning and time to leave for O You! in Atlanta. I'm on my way to the airport now, so stay tuned for live blogging and tweeting all weekend!

And a Happy Anniversary to my sweet hubby Chris. Not many guys would be cool with their wives hanging with Oprah on their 11th anniversary.

Atlanta here I come.

Dear Oprah...

It looks like the Fresh Start Project needs a fresh start.

Here's the ironic thing about this blog. What I created as an outlet to keep on track and relieve stress during a crazy time actually became one more thing for me to worry about. I began self-editing and thinking about blogging as a pain, rather than a really cool way to document getting back on my feet.

After lots of thought (and a long talk with my dear friend Nem) it became clear that I had to take another look at my project.

The move is over, we're (slowly) getting settled, and our new photography business is growing. It's time to focus on the physical and mental areas needing attention, and by that I mean my ever widening hips and how I'm coping with it.

It's back-on-track time. Step One? Hang out with Oprah and friends October 15th at the O You 2011 conference in Atlanta. Step Two? Write an email to Oprah and friends (once again at Nem's encouragement) telling them why you're traveling all the way to Atlanta to see them, just in case they are looking for a pet project.

Stay tuned for updates and tweets from O You. Wonder what the chances are that we'll hear "you get a car, and you get a car!"?
