wow.
Im woman enough to admit Id kind of giggled at raw food before....envisioned it more a gwyneth and madonna thing not at all a HEAL YOURSELF way of eating.

powerful compelling stuff Im definitely going to send a friend who suffers from fibro.'s way.

Re: Analysis of blogging on the net: why do we comment?

carla — Thu, 01 Jan 2009 09:13:03 -0000

Hi Adam, I think so much of it for me is what my goal was when launching MizFit. I wanted to create a community of likeminded people who were there to support each other. As I mentioned in the post/interview which sparked the post to which you refer: I wanted to be merely a launching point for discussion as MizFit and, in a way, quickly become irrelevant as the Bumbling Band took over and carried the commentversation along for themselves.

it has been a fun almostyear at MizFit & I look forward to seeing how things evolver.

take care,

Carla/MizFit

Re: Do You Have an After-Work Ritual?

carla — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 15:49:32 -0000

I was definitely the QUEEN of working all the time before I found a ritual. Not in a bad way even as I lovelove my work (writing) and when Im mired in fiction writing I find often I DONT wanna leave my characters just because the clock says 6p or 7p.
All that changed when I had my daughter as I really needed to draw the line and STOP WORKING and be *present* with her when my work time was done for the day.
For me it's all about the physical.
I need a TANGIBLE reminder that Im done working and am now wearing a different hat or, for me, bandanna.

I have a plethora of bandannas.

Pattern for the day job work.
Different pattern for the volunteer blogging.
Pattern for METIME (journaling)

it all serves as a great transition reminder when Im shifting from one MODE to the next.

Re: What Are Your Secrets to a Happy Marriage?

carla — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 08:26:50 -0000

for me it was (is) 100% the first one.

I married my best friend and am seriously shocked DAILY that Ive not looked at another person in 15 years (we dated for 3 married for 12).

for me it was finding someone who loved me unconditionally and made me want to be the best I could be.
someone which whom I am far bettergreaterstronger than I am alone.

someone who when we are together we bring out the best in each other.

Re: No Comment

carla — Thu, 01 Jan 2009 15:29:34 -0000

Such an interesting (and comment provoking) post.

I know it is different for me depending on the blog.
With MizFit it is a lot about the comments and the community.
With other blogging I've done it was far less so.

Re: Happy Birthday to the Littlest Pirate

so cute. my girl, who demanded a skull & crossbones themed party (no!mama! not pirates. ARRRGHS) loves the hat.

from whence did it come? (types the mama as toddler yells I LIKE DAT! I LIKE DAT!!)

Re: Guest Post-Want To Catch The Next Big Idea? Use Your Hand As Bait

carla — Sat, 24 Jan 2009 09:42:51 -0000

Love it. Such a good point about having the idea and the, as my people say, chutzpah to take that next step.
To 'feel the fear & doing it anyway'
I also love how you point out the bringing others on board.

IMO great ideas wither & die when kept to self in hopes of launching/creating alone.

What is joy abundance & success if not shared?

Thanks for a great read to start my Saturday.

Re: Are You Important To Me

carla — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 09:12:15 -0000

So very true and I can't imagine what an effort it is on your part---but you do make all of us readers feel important and welcome.

That's another reason I always have a commenter of the month interview as well.

So that my readers can learn more about the other commenters and, in a selfish way, so that I can slowly get to know my readers on a moer intimate level as well.

All that said, my Applebees sucketh here in Austin.

They need to transfer in some peeps from the restaurant where you dined ;)

Re: Guest Post - Getting People to Talk Behind Your Back

carla — Sat, 07 Feb 2009 08:15:22 -0000

This was an ah ha! moment for me in a way.

I am influenced by realword 'endorsements' of products by people whom I know to be early adopters (had that experience with my first Flip a few years ago) but tend to read blog posts with a cynical eye at times.

The irony is I do many reviews at MizFit (nothing 'sponsored' or paid & always with the up front clarity to company I will speak my honest thoughts. Though I won't usually take on products I don't at least *anticipate* I'd like) and would be disappointed were other to read MY musings with same jaded perspective.

That said, I created a MizFit Seal of Approval for products which go above & beyond my expectations.

Only given it once.

Thanks for getting my saturday morning head *thinking*

Carla/Miz.

Re: More Than Listening: Being Present

carla — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 10:28:42 -0000

amazing post.
and something with which I struggle daily being a full time writer and full time babymama.

hence the BE PRESENT tank I wear in the majority of my videos.

a reminder to my viewers, sure, but more to ME.

Re: Out With #FollowFriday, In With Connected Communities

carla — Fri, 01 May 2009 17:25:34 -0000

I love it and not because Im honored to be IN IT!
I almost dread fridays at twitter because it's such a mass of names and @ symbols.
One week I tried to do one tweet per person I recommend and use adjectives I REALLY felt described them----but that friday I tweeted all day long...

it is all about relationship building.

as you pointed out previously it's about LISTENING, hearing & helping.

Re: How To Start A Movement [Video]

carla — Sun, 21 Jun 2009 06:20:24 -0000

Ive watched this a few times now and love it more each time.

SO THE ANSWER TO LIFE FOR ME: be different yet be AUTHENTICALLY who you are and not "different' for the sake of standing while others are seated.
and embrace that core community. HARD. dont worry about numbers as when you are number one (not like the foam finger #1 but the #1 above) then eventually the #s may follow and if they never do? you wont even notice.

Re: Why Perez Hilton Should Not Have Deleted His Original Michael Jackson Post

carla — Sat, 27 Jun 2009 06:27:04 -0000

I can see how a BLOGGER would do that. Yank the post in a fit of FRICKpanic however PEREZ? He's created his brand on being over the top. Ive read him (I know. I know) since he was page sixsixsix (actually thats not all true--I STOPPED reading him after he switched from that) and liked his chutzpah and not caring.

yes the post would have been mean and inappropriate given the fact MJ passed but no MORE so than lots of what he posts and his inexplicably offhand gay slur hurled at will.i.am (seriously. you could punch me in the face without warning and Im not going to call you a dirty Jew. SERIOUSLY.).

ok.
no mo' rambles.

I guess I see how Minerva Mommy Blogger might have yanked the post and hoped no one noticed but Perez?

he's just changed.
afraid.
wimpy
and *I* think 90% of it is he feels the tide turning on HIM after the incident last week.

Re: What Foods Fight the Effects of Aging?

carla — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 15:42:15 -0000

Im really in for this, People.
The more I read it all does back up what you said here and all that hath been yammered at me about the great benefits in protecting against heart disease and possibly colon cancer as well.

baby steps to beet love,

Miz.

here's my plan:

Beet Chips

beets, scrubbed NOT peeled
1-2 Tbsp. olive oil
sea salt to taste

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. slice beets as thinly as possible. (think POTATO CHIP!) Toss with olive oil and salt. Spread evenly on a cookie sheet. Roast 45 minutes-60 min & turn halfway through. Bake till crisp.
Ive been told to watch to be sure they dont burn (I guess I look like I need that warning :))

Re: Should Texting Be Banned?

carla — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 11:26:34 -0000

wow. I can not believe people were txting in the synagogue! talk about chutzpah. (seriously)
I have a problem being tempted to txt when stuck in traffic (Im honest :)) but I know that even when mired in rush hour it isnt safe.

I do support the ban and have implemented my own: I toss my phone in the back seat. all friends/fam. know that it its and EMERGENCY they call and call and call and I know to pick up.

If that ever happened Id pull over.
