My First Topic for Spin Cycle!

While Gretchen is enjoying herself at the Emmys, I’m at home on my couch blogging while Ed is in charge of the remote. Yes, we’re watching the Bears game and the Emmys at the same time. Plus, I need to write a blog post to tell you what this week’s Spin Cycle prompt is!

Lately I’ve been obsessed. “Counting Stars” by OneRepublic is a song I’ve been listening to over and over, thinking about the lyrics and wondering what they mean. One line in particular made me think.

“Everything that kills me makes me feel alive.”

Right after I thought of this prompt idea, one of my Facebook friends wrote the exact same line as her status. Turns out she’s obsessed with this song too!

What does this line mean to you?

Write your post any day this week and add your link. Gretchen and I will have our Spins up on Friday; be sure to come back and read what other people think about “Everything that kills me makes me feel alive.”

New Goings On Around Here

I’m so pleased to announced that Gretchen from Second Blooming and I are partnering together to bring you the Spin Cycle this year!

The Spin Cycle is a blogging link-up founded a few years back by Sprite’s Keeper, who had the fabulous idea to give her readers a topic and let them give their “spin” on it. She passed the Spin Cycle on to Gretchen, who always writes the most fabulous Spins! This blogging meme…or carnival…or link-up, whatever you want to call it, has inspired me many times during my years of blogging. When Gretchen asked me to be a part of it, I squealed, jumped up and down and said yes!

I hope you join in and are inspired by the Spin Cycle as well!

This week on The Spin Cycle…

How I Spent My Summer Vacation

Welcome back, class. Your first assignment of the school year will be a short summary of your summer activities. Did you vacation? Staycation? Playcation? Sweatcation?

Is there anything you have learned? Any new experiences you would like to share with the class? Extra credit for pictures!

You can link yourself here all week. I’ll be back on Friday for my spin on “How I Spent My Summer Vacation”, and I’ll post the linky again on Friday so you can blog hop and see how others spent their summer vacation.

And be sure to run over to Second Blooming to visit Gretchen! Your link will show up over there, too…it’s two for the price of one! (Since there’s actually no charge, you get two for free. What could be better than free?)
