Happy Monday everyone! I hope you all had a great weekend. My sister, Christy, and her family recently purchased their first home which is very exciting! However, the not so exciting part is that every room in the house needs painting. Not only painting, but taking down wall paper (which is a nightmare), sanding, and then painting. My two sisters and I are close and a benefit of being so close is that when one of us takes on a project - it usually means that all three of us are taking on that project! Therefore, my weekend was spent with paintbrush in hand, Pandora music playing on our phones, endless amounts of Chick Fil A & McDonald's sweet tea - and my little niece and nephew running around loving every minute of it! Although it is a lot of hard work, we do manage to have fun and laugh a lot in the process. The end result - basically a brand new house - will make all the work worth it, right! At least worth it for Christy and her family (wait a minute).
I just wanted to go over a few things today. I have received emails from some of you wanting to participate in What's Your Story? - my new section of the blog that will include stories from others and how we can learn from what is going on in your lives. For those of you who have responded - I will be sending out the questionnaires this week. If you would like to participate, simply send an email to livingoutmyjourney@gmail.com and I will send you the questionnaire to fill out and return to me. The form will ask questions about your life and give you a chance to share your story with others. It is very easy - I promise! I plan to post 2 or 3 of these each month. I'm very excited about this new project and hope that many of you will participate!
Also, for any of you that live in the Nashville area - I am starting a project called Pay It Forward Nashville! This is something I have wanted to do for a long time and really feel like this is the year to take action. The goal is to have events once a month that will reach out to a person, family, or group of people that are very deserving of something good in their lives! As we do good for others, it will inspire them to keep it going and pay it forward! Right now, I am in the very beginning stages - a grassroots effort if you will - and I need to build awareness. If you have not done so, please go to the facebook page: www.facebook.com/payitforwardnashville and click "like". Once you have done that, please "share" it with any and all of your facebook friends that also live in the Nashville area! I am working on a website and more info will come out soon!
March 1st will be our next give-a-way! This is a way for me to say "thank-you" to all of you that read my blog. I gave away a Target gift card last month! You have to be a follower to win so click on "followers" in the top right corner so that you can have a chance to win something (and read my blog - but winning is fun too!). I will let you know next week what the prize will be - yes, the waiting will build suspense and yes, I need more time to think of what the prize will be!
Hope you all have a great week and I will see you back here tomorrow!
