HOW WILL I DO THIS?

I have been thinking about how I will coordinate the

journey of Simple Abundance as I also write

the older part of the blog that I love so much.

Right now the book is simply understood

but get ready because soon it will challenge us

to do more than just a daily reading each day.

I have decided that I will first write

my normal blog when and if I feel a topic arise.

After I will simply put SA:

In red caps such as that

and then will adds something that I have understood

while on the journey.

The book is separated into days of the month

but at the end of each month there is

a place called "JOYFUL SIMPLICITIES"

Go to that list for January today.

Read each challenge and keep those in mind

while following through the month.

These are things we should be accomplishing through

this month.

Last night I began the organization part.

Got out my journals, dusted off the prayer books,

organized drawers, etc.

There is something about organizing that I have always loved.

Cleaning drawers last night had me energized,

puts me in the best mood.

Begin those now but with no pressure.

This will jump start our month.

Don't forget to get a journal or a composition,

whichever you are least intimidated by.

Remember journaling is not like a diary where you write

what you did that day. Journaling is about writing

your deepest, innermost thoughts and feelings.

It is hard at first, awkward.

Put no rules on your writing, just put the pen to the paper

and write without thought.

It will get easier every day and the daily readings

will get you started.

I have my hot chocolate ready....

Baby girl bought me a Keurig coffee maker so have

hot chocolate for that also.

These Simplicities are not made to tackle all in one

day, it is for the month. To get our creative juices flowing.

On days that I have a larger blog or more to blog about SA

I will have two blog entries.

The title will be listed as SA

I am thankful to have a scrapbook room where I can place

myself in a quiet place to journal or work.

My recliner, however is just as good.

Lets get this party started.....

oh , and Go Saints!!!!!
