What Are These Gratitude Tweets?

For those of you that are follow me on Twitter, (www.twitter.com/alicyn) you might be wondering about the "Gratitude" tweets are that you've been seeing on my time line.

The goal of the Gratitude tweets is to take time daily to appreciate all that I'm thankful for in my life (and it's a LOT). Often times we get so caught up in achieving the next goal we fail to appreciate the beauty of this moment. The gratitude tweets are my commitment to appreciating life every day. I am committing to one full year of daily gratitude tweets.

I love Twitter & it's been fascinating to see the community grow in the two years I've been on it. People share all sorts of things on Twitter; news commentary, event information, and personal details, and I love it all!

Prior to Twitter, I have a micro-podcast called "Love & Gratitude" where I would share what I was grateful for in the moment and post to Myspace. This was inspired by Da Bomb (creator of Burncast) and her podcast she created in honor of her father. This was created using G-Cast, a service where you could call in and record a brief message.

Now a technology exists that makes it so much easier to accomplish this! With TweetMic & Twitter, it only takes a few minutes a day to create and share what you're thankful for in your life. It's a small subtle shift that has a deep impact on the way I view my life.

If you feel so inclined to tweet your own gratitudes, I will be happy to read or listen!

Sending L O V E your way!

xoxo

Coming Soon: AlicynPackard.com Ver. 3.0

Cool!

I just spoke with my web guy Noah Pedrini at www.looklisten.net and we're set to do some revamping of www.alicynpackard.com. This is so exciting!

Our initial plans are to add two new subsections; one for comedy and one for music. We're also going to be losing the initial "go nowhere" homepage in favor of one that integrates the news section into the general layout of the site.

Noah is a fantastic web designer & programmer that has been with me since the inception of www.alicynpackard.com version 1 in 2002!

Look what we found in the WAY BACK TIME MACHINE! The original site HERE.

Other than that, the site will remain retain the same overall look and feel. Sweet!

"A Baconwood Song"

Lyrics to "A Baconwood Song"

Bacon. Bacon wood.
Yeah, we're eatin' lots a bacon in the woods.
Oh bacon, it's so good.
And we're bringing on the awesome that we should.

Cause we're singing and we're dancing almost every hour.
That's because we're fueled by the BACON POWER!

Oh Bacon. Baconwood.
Oh it's really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, good!
