I could not be more excited about my new Bubble Planner!I have been researching journals and planners trying to find something that may be of interest to all of our calorie counting and journaling needs. I stumbled upon this Bubble Planner and it has been a great blessing. It's so easy to use. The idea behind the planner, is based off of you having a thought or bubble, that pops up above your head like a cartoon. My bubble thought: This would help us in organizing our fitness goals and dreams. Simply flip open the Bubble Planner and start at the top. "My Fitness Goals" (as an example).
I recommend always starting with the date. (There is no greater joy than finding yourself looking back and realizing you reached goals, that you at that time, never thought possible.) Go to the first bubble and maybe put in "20 pounds weight loss". Then draw an arrow to your next bubble and write "Goal to be reached by spring of 2009". Let your thoughts wonder.Do you want to get some new gym equipment for the house?
Do you want to find a trainer? Where you do you find a trainer?
List the places in town to call.
Who can you lean on for support?
Write down their name, then you think of a relative or a friend that may need your support.
It's absolutely endless. Your bubble is your own thought and journey unique to you. On the back side of each paper is a notes section. You can really get crazy on this side. I suggest writing down calories eaten for the day. Plan your next days breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Possibly a grocery list.
I want to share what I did with my Bubble Planner this past Saturday. I took it to church. This simply flips open and is so easy to take notes on. Pages can be removed and moved around if need be as well. I wrote out all the sermon notes on the notes side then simply turned it over, no flipping of pages, and wrote each verse, as my Pastor gave them, into a bubble. This way, depending on the sermon subject, you can go back and have all the verses organized together by category. Pretty clever huh? I suggest everyone get two or more. One for fitness and one for whatever else you can think of.
When my hubby saw my planner, his bubble thought was totally different. He would like one to take notes of sermons. Then head home and use the bubbles to write music and lyrics for new praise and worship tunes. See....everyones bubble is different. What an incredible tool.
The awesome people at Bubble Planner want to get one in your hands as well . Again this is for my subscribers only please. (If you are not a subscriber, no problem, simply do so today).

I will pick the best bubble planner thought to receive your own free planner! So be creative. If it's fitness related, how would you fill in your bubbles. It's that easy. Contest ends on Sunday the 15th of Feb at midnight.
Good luck!
Blessings, Angie Taylor

My bubble planner will be the steps to living a healthier life. I have found the Ayruvedic way of life and will start with meditation, breathing exercises while standing and sitting, yoga....all the way to changing my eating habits. I am excited...this would help me plan.

The bubble travel looks so unique and practical. What a great giveaway. I would record my workouts each day, miles I walk, activities that I participate in and my food choices and digressions. Weekend meals out and how I feel about my weight, body and progress.
I would use my Bubble Planner to plot stories, novels, or screenplays. Sometimes an idea begins with a character, sometimes an historical situation, sometimes a line from a song. Usually, my mind just works through it and I never really see how things come together. The Bubble Planner would let me follow how things develop and hopefully help me get more writing done!
My bubble planner would help me in college by keeping track of essay ideas.

I want to get all the jumbled thoughts, ideas and tasks out of my head and on top paper so I can accomplish my dreams!
to getting healthier and staying that way
Please enter me in contest.I am a subscriber.
This will help me keep track of things better.
I would use my bubble planner to plan healthier, more active habits. I have realized recently that evenings after supper are a problem eating time for me. I would use the bubbles to brainstorm things I can do when I am not really hungry in the evening like: take a walk, call a friend, play with the dogs, do a craft, ride the exercise bike, drink a cup of tea, dance to music, workout to an exercise DVD, etc.

I'm going to be going back to school this summer to get my bachelor's degree. Hopefully, eventually, move on to get my masters degree. I need to do WELL while I'm in school now so that the masters degree is a realistic goal. I'm sure that if I won this planner it would help me accomplish my good grades, as I can stay organized with what needs to be done for classes. I hope I win! :) Thank you so much for offering this giveaway! eyeslikesugar [at] gmail [dot] com
I would use it to help with food list and for apt. reminders

I love to journal and I especially like different ways to journal.
This journal I think would go especially well with my Shakti Gawain Creative Visualization book and the journaling I do with it.
But then again, I could also use this for my creative brain-storming with characters that I love to create. They are plushie, but with a story. This would help meld both medias.
Thanks for having this contest! I would have never found the website without it.

What a fresh idea for a planner! I would love to use one. Thanks for the chance to win! wgbc1446@yahoo.com
My 13 yr. old daughter always has a notebook in her hand. She loves to write stories and she is always writing out her plans & ideas. Even last night, in the dark, she was writing something in bed. I asked her and she said she was writing down ideas before she forgets them. I would LOVE to give this to her for her birthday coming up. It's fantastic.

this looking amazing. i would use it to um... get my life in order, plan my grocery trips, keep track of job interviews, get a job, and basically get myself off the couch! haha
My bubble planner would help me keep track of my business meetings. I would also use it to keep up my prayer chain (which is endless) and I would keep it updated with prayers answered! Thank you so much!
This would be great to help me stay on track with my fitness goals. thanks.
I would use the bubble planner to landscape my yard. From annuals to perennials, selecting color and location, this would be so helpful.
I could use the bubble planner to get better organized, startig with the simple things...house hold issues and fitness goals!

Bubble planner may help me brain storm for essays.
First time on your site and "Wow", let's just say I have bookmarked your page. Inspiring in a word. I so admire your well placed motivation including your open relationship with God in your life. Being an admin asst working with sales and marketing and working the phones is hectic! I'm also a wife of five years & every day is as challenging as it is rewarding. I recognize the need to keep on the right path and to be mindful of our everyday actions. I am in dire need of refocusing! Mainly with my body, mind discipline, and most importantly my relationship with God. I think the use of illustrations in organization makes sense to me and I would use the Bubble planner like so...I would place a person in the center of each illustration - so for work, I would place, for instance, each V.P. and then for each project requested of me I would enclose in the circles (which would also help me reflect on my productivity). For home, I would place my husband and any requests I need to fulfill such as picking up something at the store, etc. and something specific just for him whether it be doing some chore around the house he would normally do so he could have some free time to do something he likes like play a video game or something - one kind and thoughtful deed to maintain a loving home. For myself, I would include daily tasks to keep focused and on track, like no cheating off my diet, making sure I exercised, writing down my calories and noting any violations BUT I would also include with each note the equivalent of each action, ie. not cheating would mean fitting into those nice white jeans or exercising would mean having fabulous arms and a flatter tummy. Writing it down each day would help keep a visual and I think that would help me keep fighting towards my goal. I would also throw in an extra tid-bit I would challenge myself to do every day to keep proactive, whether it be transplant a plant, calling my sister or Grandma (being appreciative of the people God's placed in my life), or making sure to dive into God's Word!
Thanks for sharing..
