It's hard to believe I started Love-It-All in honor of Lent season last year, and here we are again one Ash Wednesday later. This evening I read through all of my posts, and was overwhelmed with happiness as I recollected writing each one of them, the circumstances around them, and the sense of joy I had as each post came together. I can honestly say the writing I've done since Ash Wednesday 2011 has been one of my favorite accomplishments. I started a second blog (http://morethanattic.blogspot.com/) and even started taking action towards my dream of writing children's books (which you'll find more about in the new blog so check it out!).
Since Love-It-All started with Lent, I think it's appropriate to mention what I'm doing this year. First, I will work to incorporate more acts of kindness into my daily life, even if it's just a kind e-mail or text. And I have given myself a laptop limit, so every evening I am only allowed ten total minutes on Pinterest, Facebook, etc. I'll spend that time doing something constructive that will ultimately lead to a less stressful work week. Plus, I think I'll find myself paying more attention to my wonderful fiance since I won't be completely engulfed in pinning or photo stalking my friends. The one exception to the laptop limit is my writing of course- I can be on the computer as much as I need as long as I'm working on one of my books. I also hope to maintain both of my blogs, so we shall see!
I'm so glad one year ago I started this blog and began really focusing on living a happy, healthy life. I know it's helped me stay focused on what I want to accomplish, and the kind of life I want to live. Here's to another Love-It-All type of year!
