ysobelIf anyone has an account on http://mindbloom.com and wants to Be Friends Zomg, let me know what email address you're signed up under? (Mine is the usermail.com one.)
If anyone is interested in having an account -- it's basically a site where you're building a "tree" of your life, with branches that are general areas to focus on, and small daily activities you want to remember to do. (Like, "Learn top knit" ahahaha, or "Play with my kids for a few minutes each day", or "Take a few minutes to unplug daily", or "Read a daily devotional", or "Volunteer as part of an outreach ministry program", or "Express my creativity for a few minutes each day", or "Sing in my local choir weekly" ... that sort of thing. There are pre-set ones, or you can make your own.)
One catch is that adding actions take "seeds", the site's currency; and it can be kind of frustrating because the main way to get seeds is to visit the site and complete the actions, which means at first your tree is kind of wimpy. Unless you either a) complete the affiliate-site activities (remember the "Get a free iPod [by signing up for at least five obnoxious services" sort of thing? yeah, that, or b) pay the site (and it's not horrible, $2 gets you 5000 seeds which is a fair amount, but that makes it kind of a potential wallet hole, or a paid account for $34), both of which are a little ... off-putting for me. Also, it has tendrils with Facebook (you don't have to associate with a FB account but you can).
...but it may be a nice reminder for the little daily self-care tasks that I always forget to do. So I'm giving it a shot.
IF anyone wants an account, let me know, and also let me know what email address to use. (Fair disclosure -- I do get seeds for inviting people. But that is not at all why I am offering, and I would probably offer invites even if they *cost* seeds.)
Comments are screened, &c.
(now I suppose I should go back to my powerpoint. le sigh.)
