Description:

Raise your right hand and repeat after me: "I promise to spend a full week, November 8th-November 15th, a total seven days, a complete one hundred and sixty eight hours, or, yes, ten thousand and eighty minutes without COMPLAINTS, CRITICISM, SARCASM AND GOSSIP... to the best of my ability."

That's right, Minions, if you think a positive attitude is important, then THIS challenge is for you. I have tried this swap three times now (originally hosted by @merimax and borrowed with her permission) and it is EYE OPENING. And (for me) impossible! But each time, at the end of the week, I was proud of my effort.

At the week's end, send your partner a postcard telling her how you did, any trials or pitfalls you encountered, anything you learned... really whatever you would like to tell her about the week. Send two postcards if you have too much to say on one... or make it a blank postcard and fill both sides with your thoughts!

One Dandelion partner, one Dandelion week, one Dandelion struggle, one Dandelion postcard (well, ANY postcard).

And... GOOD LUCK.

It's not easy... every day I find myself clapping my hands over my mouth (literally) and saying OH! I am not supposed to be (gossiping, complaining, etc)! Then my kids laugh at me. :)

I mean, every day that I attempt this, 'cause that's not all that often! :)

sheesh, why don't you just ask me to give up chocolate, the internet, and watching voyeuristic tv reality shows while you're at it? ;P This is truly a challenge, though a worthy one. I will look deep into myself and consider if I have the strenght to try and pull this off!

You do, you do!! Well, you may or may not feel successful, but just ATTEMPTING it was SO eye-opening for me. I had no idea I was breing so negative and critical! I felt successful even kind of failing!
