As a refresher, this is a contest where YOU can help write the lyrics to a unique Breaking the Mirror theme song that will be written and recorded by talented singer/songwriter Julie Moffitt. 

She’ll look through all the phrases and sentences that you’ve submitted and will decide how to create the perfect body image related song.  The person who submits the line that becomes the title of the song will receive a Julie Moffitt CD plus a donation toward their fave charity (see more about that HERE.)

If you’re stumped about what to write, let me show you here what we’ve received thus far in terms of entries.  Remember — you don’t have to be a songwriter (or a writer at all) to be a part of this fun contest!

Our current entries are:

• “When I looked in the mirror, I finally saw I’d turned my back on me”
• “I’m tired of fighting to be who I think I *should* be; I want to embrace me”
• “The monster inside my soul eats away, forging thoughts day-after-day, from the media and even those around me, turning me into something else – what *they* say I should be”
• “I am a woman. I do not have to look like a head on a stick.”
• “My reflection’s based on that which keeps life flowing inside of me, not the space I occupy”
• “My reflection shows my soul, I’ve achieved my spirit’s goal, worth my weight in solid gold.”

You can enter as many times as you like! 

I can’t wait to see what comes in at the 11th hour!  Sometimes, the last lines we create are those that speak the truth the loudest.

Scrub-down contest at Jennifer’s!

We’re going to have acoustic, artistic, wonderful singer/songwriter Julie Moffitt write music for and record a Breaking the Mirror theme song!

But we need YOU to supply the lyrics!

Here’s how this contest works:

From now until next Sunday, June 22, 2008, Monday, June 30, 2008, Friday, July 4, 2008, midnight E.S.T., please leave ONE LYRIC LINE in the comments section.  (Have more than one line racing around your head?  Comment as many times as needed!)

Lyric lines should have something to do with eating disorders, body image, et cetera.  They don’t need to be goopy, poopy positive, but I’m pushing you to come up with some inspirational, motivational stuff.

Next Monday, June 23, 2008, I’ll give all the lines to Julie and she (with help from friends) will decide which line will be used for the TITLE of the Breaking the Mirror theme song.  That contributor will win a free copy of a Julie Moffitt CD chock-full of amazing vocals!

From that point, Julie will take all the lyric suggestions and weave them into an original composition.  She’ll record it and we should have an mp3 file for all to hear by the middle of August!

I’m truly excited by this contest and invite you to submit often.  Remember — only one line per comment, please. 

Have at it! 

(And thanks, Julie!  Can’t wait to hear what you compose!)
