The first of many things I can’t stop thinking about…

You’re definitely going to have to read this post on my blog to know what you’re in for…

Alright – 1/2 planned would be understatement.  The idea to try something like this hit me yesterday.  It took another 30 hours and a subarctic 6 mile run to flesh it all out.

But first…the bigger picture.

In the last couple of years I’ve come to realize that the only way to actually get something done is to pull a Nike and ‘Just Do It’.  I used to think that catch line was a smug, look down your nose way to tell everyone else how lazy they are.  But I’ve come to realize it’s actually the most succinct way of getting the point across…if you want it, you have to actually DO IT!  To all those that realized this LONG before I ever did…my hat is off; you are some seriously lucky people!  I envy the head start you have on living life to the fullest.

Think if everyone you knew could take the thing they were best at, or most passionate about and turn it up to 11.  That musician friend you know writes more and plays louder and adds some serious zest to your life.  Or if that writer you know starts sharing her words with everyone, just to see what happens.  I wanna see the painter paint her dreams and visions.  What if the mailman really wanted to make movies…what if…?

So that’s this…this is me deciding that talking about ideas is cool, but acting on ideas is WAY MORE FUN!  Try life…see what happens…learn as much as you can and have more fun than anyone thinks is possible.  I love creative people.  Everyone has something totally awesome to offer everyone else.  Sometimes you have to dig a little deeper to find it (I sure as hell did), but the differences that make up each of us are what set each of us apart, and hopefully bring us all little closer together as we enjoy what everyone can bring to the party!

READ EVERYTHING THAT FOLLOWS BEFORE YOU RESPOND…

To be eligible for the free shoot, you gotta sell me on the best idea you have in your head.  Let’s see what you can come up with.  I’ve been on a kick lately of challenging myself and my team to create awesome images that we can all be glad to be part of.  I wanna keep it going and I want to open it to everyone else that has something amazing in their heads.  Start thinking…

The free shoot is the one you come up with.  Make it as awesome as possible, BUT make it possible.  If you tell me you want to ride an elephant while sky-diving, you’re on your own – although I do know some people that could help on the skydiving part!  :D  Make it creative, or thoughtful or whatever…connect with me through your writing what you want to see.

Outside of one REALLY REALLY important piece of the puzzle (see below), that’s it.  I’ll read them, chose one and we’ll shoot it and post it so everyone can enjoy it.  We’re going to add some spice to the recipe of life.

THERE’S ONLY ONE MORE THING YOU HAVE TO DO…BUT YOU HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL 9PM TONIGHT TO FIND OUT WHAT IT IS.

So start thinking…but don’t send me anything!  Not a word…just think…wait for the 9pm post and we’ll take it from there.

…til then…
