Today is the first day of The Next Chapter: Wreck this Journal, and I already have memories I will treasure!I decided to dive in with what I find hardest - food and the journal (ick!) Well, I started a bit gently with drink: coffee. I giggled as I stuck my finger in my coffee and flicked my fingers, spraying drops across the page. It was fun and felt totally transgressive.
So, I showed my husband. He looked at me and said, "Jamie, I don't think you're embracing the full spirit of the book. Let's go." And this is what we did next:
I love my husband. He inspired me to play a bigger game!

Yes the squeals were so delightful!!
Well Done, Jamie! And love your laugh :D
Great idea! Your laughter was the best part, though. <3
Lovely! Fun getting to hear and see you, Jamie -- here and on TNC site. Yeah, I'm having a hard time with the "sticky" food page -- the gum and all?? AHHHHH! EWWWW! :O Okay, though... wrecking wrecking wrecking -- this will be an interesting summer wrecking with all of you!
miracles,
k-
I love your laugh!! the little video is great :)
Oh you waskly wabbit you! Those giggles were the icing on the cake. You sounded so tickled to be bad.
THAT laugh, that free spirited laugh Is why we are doing this book. It frees you up to just DO stuff without thinking about it and justifying it. Kudos to your husband and to you! Wreck away.
Your husband rocks.
I saw the still shot of the coffee pot and I was screaming, "NOOOOO!! You can't do that!!" See? I've still got a way to go to get over my wrecking inhibitions.
OMG! I squealed when I saw the video! HOW FUN! Genius, your husband :)
Your laugh is the best part of this video! So infectious! I love that husbands are getting involved. I showed my husband the book and he read each page with increasing excitement asking if he could play too.
This is so much fun Jamie!!!
You wreck! I mean you rock!
both!
yay!
I love that the husbands are joining in. Mine looked at me like I was crazy when I explained the book, then he flipped through it and asked if he could play too!
Oh. My. Goddess. Doing this to a book, how scary - and how fun.
What an infectious laugh. Love it!
It's almost coffee time here. I'll have to see if I'm willing to use any of it on the journal today.
This is just so much fun. Thank you again Jamie!
yup, the laugh was the best....
I did the coffee bit today...it was very liberating...in a terrifying sort of way...:)
Yes, the laugh is delightful. ANd I think we ALL love your husband a little bit now!
I absolutely loved the squeal! Your bravery gives me courage to muck up my journal with food/drink. :)
Your laughter was priceless. :)
Jamie,
I loved your intro video and this one too. It was great seeing your face and voice together....
Kate
Rock on! You did it! Too funny, love that adventurous and rebellious spirit of Justin, so happy you made a mess.
heehee....you should video every page...just for the giggles...I sense that you were still very careful in messing the coffee...heehee...such fun! Love you giggles! xx
I agree with everyone - your lovely infectious laugh just made me laugh. You are really forcing us to be freer.
Thanks.
You have such a great enabler there!
Awesome!
I handed my book to my boyfriend so he could do the have a friend destroy this page--and for 15 minutes he tried to think what to do.
He handed the book back to me untouched. He said he has to think about it some....
sheesh--
you should have seen his face when I threw it across the room....
what fun!
Sounds like your husband needs his own copy of the book! How fabulous to have his unruly inspiration there with you!
hahaha...this was great. I am still waiting for my book to arrive. HOPEFULLY today!
of course my boyfriend knows all about this journey and we read your post and watched your video together. he said "i like him" about your husband!! lol.
I love these video posts Jamie, your squealing was too adorable.
