I challenge you to a game...of sorts...KEEP READING...this 'group project' will be so interesting!

So....


I was watching this FASCINATING documentary in which Youtube.com collaborated with some bigger names to 'document' the day of JULY 24, 2010.


This culminated in people, from around the world!, submitting over 8,000 videos!  If you have time to - watch it! 

(You may need to click the small triangle at left-bottom of YouTube video box to get documentary to play)


After watching this documentary I felt VERY excited ....

It's so enlightening to see what other cultures "look" like...in a real way. Or even same culture, just different habits/practices within them.


You see the cluttered apartments, the confused adults, different religions implemented, births, weddings, etc...having ALL occurred on July 24, 2010.


This, of course, has my brain thinking about all of YOU!


Let's take this "Life in a Day" and morph it into "This is One Thing I Did Today"     .....How?


By you sending me your daily-grind kinda pictures...with the stipulation that the event, moment, reflection occureed December 1st and/or December 2nd.


Won't it be FASCINATING to get a 'glimpse' into everyone here? 


Personally..I LOVED seeing all the messy houses, overflowing kitchens, etc in this documentary so DO NOT FEEL like the picture has to be "amazing".


A picture of what you ate for lunch.


A picture of your child asleep.


A picture of your over-whelmed work desk.


A picture of your pet.


A picture of your Christmas tree.

A picture of an outfit you rocked.


A picture of your favorite anything - piece of jewelry, shoes, kids :)


ANYTHING!!


Anything that you can snap  a picture of, then sharing it with this blog,  resulting into"letting us into your life" a smidge.....


You can send the picture to my email address. 


andreacockrum@yahoodotcom (written weird for security....)

OR

Send them to me via Facebook. I am "Andrea Lowe Cockrum" in that crazy world.


I will put all of the pictures on the blog THIS FRIDAY!!!


Come on friends...Play Along! 

This could prove to be SO insightful and helpful...as in "Oh..good...her house is not immaculate 100% of the time either." OR "Cool. I'm not the only one serving lame lunches to my kids!)"  

Tis the season for deepening relationships!


Andrea

I love this idea!! I'm gonna try really hard to do it. I've been meaning to be more known...I think its healthy!
How many pics would you like?

Andrea said...

Heidi - as many as you want!

Also, if -unlike Heidi- you do not want to 'be known more' they can be annonymous (as in u do not have to be in the picture)

Heidi..I want you to be known more too:)

One, four, twelve :) Whatever U find that U want to share from TODAY and TOMORROW!

I'll post pic tomorrow evening :)) (late so everyone has time)

What an awesome idea! So creative and interesting!

You can take any pictures you would like! If you are bombarded, I can also shoot you over a few. You are so beyond talented.

I love your closing line!

Love you,

Jen

No photos as I don't have a working camera. However yesterday (2nd Dec) I sat in a three hour long meeting with 6 other people. We made a decision that will ultimately change the lives of three people. Scary.
