kind of sounds vain doesn't it- but it really isn't
A few friends and I are growing our hair out as a simple way to support those who suffer from cancer.
and here is the back of me- wow getting long girls, getting long
oh and check out this page I made as guest blogger over at CK
My husband and I enjoyed some time away from the daily stresses of life this week. We went to stay in a cabin at Bear Lake. Signs of fall were all around us (proof below) and this is one summer I am ready to say goodbye to. As I have been reflecting on this time of year and what it reminds us of I am trying really hard to remain positive and exercise gratitude.
I am wondering what everyone else does-
How do you prepare for a change of seasons?
What do you do to exercise gratitude?
Do you decorate your home with new decor?
Is it a hard transition for you?
What activities do you look forward to in the fall?
my answers to the ?'s below
How do you prepare for a change of seasons?
I try to psyche myself out, I do not like cold weather and for me fall means winter is around the corner
What do you do to exercise gratitude?
I try to spend time reflecting on our blessings daily and performing small kind deeds.
Do you decorate your home with new decor?
I wish- no, maybe when I don't have 5 rambunctious boys
Is it a hard transition for you?
YES! kids gone, darker earlier at night, less sunshine, less freedom-but more time for reading
What activities do you look forward to in the fall?
I guess that might be the problem, I need stuff to look forward to
Thanks for reading- off to the Sandy Scrapbook expo
OK- wish I could have thought of something a bit more clever.
Megan, Angie, and I are growing our hair out to donate to Locks of Love
We have all had loved ones or have loved ones going through cancer and thought this was something that we could do in their honor.
It looks like my hair may have grown an inch give or take a little
last measure in I was at 5"
today 6"
and obviously I have lightened my hair recently.
One of the radio shows, podcasts I enjoy listening to is This American Life
one of the recent shows highlighted a gentleman who is changing the way
children in poverty are raised in Harlem. I was very moved by the story
and the simple ways that change can be affected. Take a minute to listen
to the interview or pick up the book or go so far as to visit the website
and learn more about it- maybe even donate.
I am energized and inspired by stories of people forging change in such a postive manner.
