I've started a new series on YouTube and written about it on my blog. 🐾 Family Myth Monday: Digging Into the Truth Behind Our Family Stories. Do you have a family myth? I'd love to hear about yours, so please post in the comments.

🐾 Pets Reimagined: FOREVER Wall Décor Contest
I am LOVING this Chat GPT Challenge!

This is the creation I'll be entering of Cali's spa day for the new contest at FOREVER. Read the FOREVER Blog to get all the details about how to create a photo on ChatGPT and enter the contest. The images that are posted on the blog are hilarious. I've had so much fun making ones of Cali and even my son's dog, Hondo, and Storm. I burst out laughing. I can imagine the 50 Cent song "It's Your Birthday" in the background. Fun with photos.

If you don't already have a FOREVER account, you can sign up by searching Ellen Thompson-Jennings at FOREVER if you use the link for the blog you'll be connected to me.

Have fun creating, and post your creation. https://www.forever.com/ambassador/ellenthompson-jennings/yours/pets-reimagined-forever-wall-decor-contest

Congratulations — you’ve made it through Week 1 of the October Photo Organizing Challenge! 🎉
Whether you’ve spent 10 minutes a day or tackled a big photo project, you’ve made real progress toward bringing order (and joy!) to your photo collection.
Here are a few quick wins worth celebrating:
🐾 You’ve already built a new habit—just showing up for your photos regularly is huge.
📂 You might have rediscovered a forgotten moment or face that made you smile.
📸 And every photo you’ve organized, tagged, or deleted means your future self (and family) will thank you!
Tip for Week 2:
Try focusing on one theme or year this week. For example, organize all your vacation photos, one child’s school years, or one family event. Breaking it down like this keeps things simple and satisfying.
If you haven’t already, mark your progress on your tracker and celebrate your first milestone—because you’ve earned it! 🏅
Keep going—your Bronze, Silver, or Gold badge is getting closer every day.
You’ve got this,
Ellen 🐾
