The challenge is simple:
To blog, everyday, for 30 days straight.
Now I admit, to some this is a weak challenge, for they blog regularly all the time. I on the other hand, have sporatic moments of great involvement in blogging, as well as great dry periods. But I want that to change. Not because I want a ton of people to read my blog and be inspired, or because I have something incredibly worthwhile to say--because I don't. I'm boring. But I don't write for other people. I write for me.
"Keep a journal if that's the case."
That's what you are thinking, I know. But I do have a journal. It is my prayers. My deepest most intimate thoughts with my Father. And while I do cherish what I write on those lined pages, the content is not the same as what I would write in a blog. So I journal and I blog. Deal.
The content of each day is decided by whomever established this challenge (someone devoted to New Year's Resolutions I am sure...) and I will adhere to them, it just seems smart. Some days will be funny, sentimental, snarky, sweet, weird and probably knowing myself, dramatic. I am excited about this. Ready to learn from myself-because yes, I do think it is possible. And perhaps at the end of all of this, I can look back and have 30 days documented for myself to enjoy-- and possibly the handful of other people who will actually read this.
(this is the list of each day's content, in case anyone missed that.)
