This is ENTIRELY Mark and Charlie’s fault. (If you can’t see the video, click through to the actual post on my site, okay?)
Video Blog Challenge: Day One! from Rachael Acklin on Vimeo.
Twitter-sized: I’m doing a video challenge on my blog every day because it makes me uncomfortable. Also, you’re awesome.

Thank you, thank you, thank you – I miss you, too.
And you don’t need makeup. You’re gorgeous without it.
I’m so proud of you. And now a bit good-weepy. :)
Charlie Gilkey´s last blog ..Are you at the helm or running around the ship
Now I’m weepy too. DAMMIT.
*hugs*
Go you!!!!!! Seriously. Keep on rockin that awesome. :)
I’ve been thinking about doing video for awhile now. Perhaps I’ll get motivated to go out and get a cam some time soon. After I get new photos, that is.

Do it now! Don’t wait for later when it’s “perfect”. :)
Rachael-
I’m sure you here this all the time, but you are so cute! You have a natural laid-back cool vibe thing going, and it just works!
It’s great that you’re pushing your comfort zones and doing video. If I wasn’t such a chicken-sh*t, I’d endeavor the same.
Look forward to more!
Linda
Wow, thanks! I don’t notice any of that about myself, but it’s a huge deal that you did. Thank you. :)
Rachael,
Love the idea. Yes we need to get out of our “comfort zone” to grow.
Nice shirt. You don’t have to be Sorry. You did great.
Thanks so much, Ivan. I miss you too, you know? How are you?
Welcome to the world of video!!
Loved it. Love the hat, and Charlie’s right. You’re beautiful. Make more of these.
Amazing first step. I cannot wait to see day 14 when you’re rockin’ the awesome at 11!!
Ah geez, you two. Now I’m weepy AND blushing. :D
Love how you got on a roll when you started talking about Liftoff. It really started flowing at that point. Just look for triggers to get yourself into that place, you’ll do awesome :)

Oh, what a great point! Thank you! :D
Rachel:
I’ve been following you on Twitter for a while. It’s so great to finally hear and see you. Great job, by the way!
MC
Thanks, Marie-Clare! :D
Aww this is soooo awesome Rachael! I looove that I feel like I know you more now that I’ve seen you on video. :) I’ve only spoken to you on the phone/skype, so this is amazing.
Don’t worry, we’re all perfectionists and we see ourselves as worse when we’re looking at ourselves on video. And you’re right, we’re all human – and I love the PJ pants! Yay!!
Nathalie Lussier´s last blog ..Come To BlogWorld and See Me Speak About Mouth Watering Content
I’m so glad you feel like you know me better now! HOORAY! :)
Brave and awesome video! Love seeing you – reminds me how much I miss sitting at the big table next to you in Seattle! WOW. I will do one too. You’ve inspired me. xoxo
karen yaeger´s last blog ..Create Your Own Smalltopia
Oh dear, I miss you too. *hugs* I can’t wait to see your video!
That hat is amazing.
You are so cute it kind of burns a little.
Go you for being brave and being imperfect and showing up! xoxoxoxoxo!
Hahaha, SO CUTE IT BURNS A LITTLE. That’s my new Twitter tagline. :D
If I had the stuff to say and a bit of the clarity in speech…I think I could handle video blogging. I just don’t have THAT much to say ever. :D Go you nonetheless.
Michael Beckwith´s last blog ..Social Media Shortcodes
I’m sure you’d do awesome video. :)
What a great idea! I have dabbled once or twice with vblogging, but I just didn’t really have the time for it with becoming a single mum and having the kids around and no breaks etc… really should think about doing another at some point. On the other hand, I hate the way I look, so it would be HARD for me!
I love the hat, I used to have one like that, but it got trampled on one too many times by Zack when he was younger… booo!
Also… what does the last bit of your top say? It looks awesome! :) x
Marylin´s last blog ..First Canvas! A Photobox Review
My shirt says:
I’M SORRY, I CAN’T HEAR YOU OVER THE SOUND OF HOW AWESOME I AM.
And if you like it that much (hey all you guys), you can buy it at my Zazzle shop: http://www.zazzle.com/rachaelacklin
Yay! :)
and boo. Now I feel like I have to do this. Been meaning to do some video, so I guess it’s about time?
(and yays for you for getting over the fear & doing it!)
Alex´s last blog ..Onions- the rise & fall of my career as a stand-up comic
I am awaiting your video with BATED BREATH.
I forgot to mention that you rock the hat. :)
Alexia´s last blog ..Video Challenge Accepted Tossed gauntlet
Why thank you. *takes a bow*
That was awesome! It’s so true…we need to do things that scare us to push the boundaries of our comfort zones. And the more you do it, the less scared you get. Yay you for doing this!
Love the bit about how we’re all messy. I’m so tired of polished and perfect. Bring on the human.
Patty K´s last blog ..What do you do when no one signs up for your thing
Aw, thanks so much for commenting! I LOVE how you push your boundaries. It’s so inspiring. :D
Dude. May I join in the chorus of those who have pointed out YOU ARE ROCKING THAT HAT!!!
And such a lovely smile, too.
SO nicely done, can’t wait to hear more from you.
Why thank you darling! :)
You always have an awesome hat as well. I noticed. ;)
hee. Yeah, I have an inside source for groovy hats…
chicsinger simone´s last blog ..Cream portrait hat
‘We’re all a little messy.”
Preach it, sister. This video rocks. More, please.
*I really, really tried to resist the urge to echo the SO CUTE IT BURNS A LITTLE sentiment. I couldn’t. Resist.
AMEN!!
P.S. I changed my Twitter profile to say that line at the end. True story.
Awesome video Rachael! We are all a little messy…messy can be good.
Cheers,
Natalie
