As my life gets more crazy and packed with projects and job hunt, I drift farther & farther away from LiveJournal. I spend MOST of my online time on Facebook these days, which does not lend itself well to Blogging... which was partially intentional. I got to a point where I didn't feel the need to share the silly minutia of day-to-day-living with everyone. I got to a point where I needed to shut people out for a time.

With the recent (3) deaths in the last 30 days within our Scarborough-Faire-Family/Community... I feel the need to post here again.

I do not know if now is a good time or not, but I want to challenge each & everyone reading this to do something. LIVE LIFE. Every day. Challenge yourself to do something BIZARRE & WILD that is totally out of character for YOU. This thought came about while Jessi (TheBB73) and I were just chatting on IM a few minutes ago. She wants to raise money to basically go Cliff Jumping in South Africa where she is currently living in HONOR OF BERT'S LIFE. I think THAT is one of the coolest tributes I have *ever* heard of in a long, long time.

So.. if you can find it in your heart to write a little "We remember you" Note to Jessi and email it to me - I will include it in the "Sunshine" package I hope to send her in February. If you want to contribute a couple bucks to her "Memorial Dive" in memory of Bert... let me know - I'm starting a collection. My PayPal is: amanda@darkroomimages.net and just let me know it's for Jessi's goal.

IF YOU HAVE ANY CRAZY ADVENTURE you want to do or share - SHARE IT with us & we'll see what we can do to help you LIVE LIFE. I'm game for as much adventure as I can physically squeeze into my crazy life. I would be honored to assist my friends in their goals. I'm about to go review my "Bucket List" for Life that I made on here on LJ back at age 28 & see what I can knock off the list.

I toasted Bert's life with my hubby last night over champagne, mixed with a couple of tears & smiles.

HERE'S TO YOU...

*clink*

Love you guys!
