I don’t know how many of my readers have attempted to reach me through my Contact Page, but it’s been brought to my attention that spammers have rendered it non-functional. Fortunately some folks attempted to follow-up through phone calls so that I was made aware of what had happened and the page should be working correctly again in a few days. I apologize if it seemed as though I wasn’t responding to anyone’s email. Please try again next week. Thanks!

In the latest issue of “Newsweek”, science editor Sharon Begley examines psychologist Lera Boroditsky’s fascinating research on how the language we speak shapes the way we think and see the world.
According to Boroditsky, “The private mental lives of speakers of different languages may differ dramatically in all manner of cognitive tasks. Even a small fluke of grammar – the gender of nouns – can have an effect on how people think about things in the world.”
While there are a number of very interesting examples cited in the article (check it out), the subject got me thinking about something tangentially related — Twitter. Because Twitter has its own unique “language” of just 140 characters per post, I believe that it’s affecting us in a similar way. I know, myself, that I have begun to think thoughts that can be easily summarized in just those 140 characters.
I wonder what impact this will have on us down the road; will tweeple (people who use Twitter) develop a different type of cognitive process than others?

by Jamie Ridler on July 8, 2009
Welcome to the new home of Jamie Ridler Studios. Today is my big opening party and I’m thrilled that you’re here to celebrate with me! I am so excited to be bringing all of my offerings, from coaching to dreamboards, here under one roof. It feels like coming home.
I picked today to launch because Wednesdays are Wishcasting days and that seemed a very auspicious day to start! I have a very special request for today’s wishing; I do hope you’ll indulge me. Will you make a wish for me and my new online studio? It would be such a joy to fill this new space with wishes and dreams right from the beginning. What a magical start that would be!
It’s been such a blessing to be a part of so many wonderful communities online. The Wishcasting gang is so full of love and support! The Full Moon Dreamboard Circle inspires me every month! And what a joy The Next Chapter has been. Spending this summer together wrecking this journal has been a wild and crazy adventure! And the tweeps I’ve connected to on Twitter! What generous, inspiring folks you are. All of my friends and loved ones, thank you for being here and celebrating with me. It means the world! I’d love to light this space with twinkie lights, pour you all some champagne, put on some amazing tunes and spend the whole day dancing, chatting and laughing together!
In that spirit of celebration, I want to give away some door prizes today! Everyone who leaves a comment will be entered into a draw. With every 10 comments, I’ll add one more item. I’ll be giving away:
- Copies of the delicious e-powerpack Your Creative Spark to inspire you in your creative journey
- Copies of Nia: Unplugged to give you some groove-a-licious time dance time at home!
- An email Tarot reading from me.
I’ll announce all the winners tomorrow. I also thought I’d make a special offer for Your Creative Spark. I feel like spreading some creative bubbly as far and wide as I can! If you’ve been meaning to pick it up, now is the time! Until Friday, July 10th at midnight EST I’m holding a Studio Opening sale. All you have to do is enter the coupon code “champagne” and you’ll receive $10 off. Enjoy!
I’m so glad you’re here. To new beginnings, wishes and big dreams!
love,
Jamie
