Ok, Pam...here's my idea...let me say up front that I'm getting offline after this post so don't worry if you don't see any more messages from me. I'll catch up again in the AM.

I'd actually like it if you'd think about my "challenge" overnight...you mentioned that you're not having a good night so it might make more sense to mull it over.

So...here it is (and this is an open challenge to anyone who reads this..)

I realized this AM (not the first time) that I still have cycles and "stuff" in my m. that I think the applying DB'ing principles would help. And sometimes I read stuff here in Piecing on other people's threads and think "wow, I'd bet they could DB their way out of it" -- and by DB I mean the whole shebang....goals, 180s, starting from scratch.

SO...I was thinking about starting a new series of threads here in Piecing where we take 1 chapter at a time and seriously, rigorously, diligently work our DB muscles...very much like what JJ did over in the other forum. We could even copy some of his "questioning" posts over here...stick to one chapter at a time and really, really, really apply the principles.

The challenge to you and to everyone else who is interested would be sticking with it...cleaning out that beginner's mind...picking goals, identifying 180s, reporting success, etc.

I can commit to at least 1 chapter a week...actually, I'm guessing the if we started this I'd get thru the book faster than that.

Where's your copy of DB/DR, Pam?

Are you up for it?

It would be dedicated threads focused on the techniques.
