May 2 - Journal Entry...to LIVE!

Now that you have your summer journal, here is your first journal entry assignment...

What does it mean to you to truly live?  

Does it mean loving someone to the point you think your heart may burst?  Does it mean seeing beautiful and far away lands?  Does it mean laughing to the point that you pee your pants?  Does it mean that when your head hits the pillow at the end of the night, you have no regrets?  

The definition of living is such a personal and individual meaning.  So take some time and really think about it.  Write your thoughts out and don't be afraid to revisit it throughout the month!  Also, remember there is no right way to write this out.  It could be a list, two sentences or pages of deep and intricate thoughts.  Just think it out.

Love,

May 1 - Start a Summer Journal

HELLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO friends!  Welcome back to SUMMER!!  More importantly welcome back to the Live My Live Project.  I have a month full of GREAT challenges, challenges that I believe are designed to make the most of this summer!  

The summer projects are split into four different themes...

May - Finding Strength

June - Connecting

July - Making a Difference

August - Live, Laugh and Love!

So to start out the May challenges, I would like you to start a journal that you can use to record your progress throughout the months.  The first few challenges will be journal entries, inspired to make you think...build a foundation of sorts for the coming challenges.  Those challenges are listed on the left hand side of this page.  I will continue adding to it throughout the month.

The thing that makes this project so successful is you!  Don't be shy about sharing your thoughts and opinions!  They won't be laughed at, unless that is the purpose of your comment, in which case we will laugh boisterously!

Now back to day one, start a journal!  Write down your goals, what you hope to gain from this project, what you hope to share and then check back in with us tomorrow for the next challenge!

Love,

Ela

July 1 - National Postal Worker Day

Each day in July, we will be celebrating!  There really is something to celebrate each day; whether it be local, national or totally made up by a card company.  Let's get started!

Today is National Postal Worker Day.  In 1775, Benjamin Franklin appointed the first ever Postmaster General by the Continental Congress.  From New York to San Francisco, come rain, hail or snow postal workers throughout this great country work diligently to deliver our mail.  They really should be celebrated!  So leave a kind note in your mailbox for your mail person or write a friend and utilize the wonderful service offered, I'm sure it will be appreciated.

Neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.
