Testing testing one two three...

I'm testing a couple of different Twitter gadgets. At the moment on the right hand column you'll see mine listed as "Jeanne's Tweets" and my miracle puppy's, Miss Sydney's listed as "Sydney's Tweets". My goal, to eliminate the conflicts I've run into... I love figuring things out!

Edit 12:06 a.m. 7/13/09 the jury is still out on Sydney's incorporation of Twiiter into this blog... the gadget is working appropriately, but I'm not sure the design suits me. Yes, indeedy... I'm picky when it comes to my miracle puppy!

on July 1, 2009

It was a long long day for Sydney, my hubby & I.
Sydney's and my hairdos sort of match... meaning we look mussy!
Yes, Sydney has vanity issues, too! Check out her paws...
there's not much diff between the size of hers vs. mine. Too funny!

Quick 'n and Out... Kind of an Update

My Twitter Profile Photo ------>


For those of you who may not know what Twitter is, a post or two down I shared I'd started "tweeting" for both Sydney & I. There are many reasons behind my choice to do such a thing, but this entry is simply to advise I've now added the Twitter Widget on the right hand column of my blog. Meaning... my live tweets will post live here as I tweet. So, when I'm not making blog entries, live info tweeted by me is still passing to my blog.

Hope this makes sense. If you have a Twitter Account it, will... if not... read the live feed and it'll help.

Still VERY much going on in my life and the lives of my family members & loved ones. Please keep us in your prayers. Me, I need strength & renewing every day as we all do, and God delivers up fun & interesting & powerful & inspiring & uniquely special ways to bless me with it. I've connected with others living with Epilepsy on both Face Book & Twitter, and some amazing people of God, too. Ministers, laymen... Christians and a few even have Epilepsy. Thank God for the net and the ability it gives people like me who are for the most part home bound, because without connections, I'd go nuts!

Words coming in via various ways on the net (from emails I receive from friends, family members, and even people I don't know but care, then add, my online devotions, & my praise music) I really don't know how I'd make it. Phone calls I do get, but these days... I'm really not into phoning nor calling. Aiming for peace, joy & focus constantly. My biggest prayer need of all is that I lose time each day... I need to make better use of it, although I'm trying hard. The not driving thing is getting to me now more than ever, yet, I enjoy the nature that surrounds my home. See beauty every where I look outside.

I'm holding fast... and hanging on tightly to overwhelming, overcoming, unspeakable joy. Spending much time interceding. Trying to build myself up physically and spiritually as well as help others as best I can. I know I've been redeemed... that God is ever faithful. But, I must say my upcoming visit to the Comprehensive Epilepsy Center @ Wake Forest Baptist Hospital with my new doctor can't come soon enough. I'm praying for favor and that she'll be open to start at the beginning. From my traumatic birth onwards... I've all the information that was missing from my past now except for one piece (which really doesn't matter) and found out I had yet another head blow when I was about four. My mother remembered it recently. That's four now. Not too long afterwards, was when my migraines started in first grade.

It's been an amazing journey rediscovering some of my blocked past as well as key information my mother hadn't really forgotten, but hadn't connected to the dots until she read the Newsweek article I continue to mention... Living in the Grips of the Unknown. You can find a link to it by clicking the label below or upper corner of the right panel side.

I do have some photos to share, yet still not in the groove to post yet. I have a couple stories to share, too. But, I am undecided as to whether I will or not yet. If it's right, I will. If not, I won't. However, soon I will post some updated photos of Sydney. Her first birthday is coming up toward the end of the month. She has GROWN!!!

Bye for now......

Everything is all a twitter!!! Sydney & Me!

Extremely quick entry!!! I've now gone public on Face Book as of today and Twitter for myself...

Face Book info is in my right side panel, but anyone can find me by simply performing a "friends search" for:

Jeanne Holland Newton

My vision for my Twitter...

It's an exciting and great way to use my day to day real life stuff to focus my thoughts upwards... in a positive way. Love the challenge of keeping it to 140 characters. For anyone who has known me any length of time, that's a toughy! It also forces me to think more creatively... and choose my words more precisely with a flavor of humor tossed in!

All one has to do if you've never ever tweeted... is to take a few secs to set up an account. It's easy as pie! There are no junkie apps or anything. It's simple and sweet! Create a unique i.d./user name, and there you go. That is all there is to it! You can tweet over the net, or via your phone! What a free package deal!

I thought about creating another user name, but ppcjeanne and Jeanne Holland Newton both tie to my blog and Face Book. It's so important to keep things simple, you know?

AND.... tah dah!

Sydney now has her own Twitter, too!

Sydney's vision is to:

Put her cute little face on ESRA in a unique way! She's full of one liners... any English Springer Rescue America volunteers, foster parents, forever home givers, Springers and family critters, all animal and dog lovers alike are welcome to follow her. Heaven only knows what she'll be saying! For those of you who have kept up with my entries, you'll recall her wonderful foster Mom lived in Australia at one time and named Sydney for it. Thanks "Miss M"... one of my favorite nicks for my miracle pup is Sydney Springer. :) So, to follow little Sydney and her antics, simply click her link below:

P.S. Will come back and add photos when they are all recovered.
