Some Changes

There are going to be some changes around here....

mostly organizational and a few thematic

I love blogging. I can't exactly say why but I will admit that I am thoroughly addicted.

When I am able to articulate the reasons I blog, much of it is selfish; I blog to record, to document, to learn as I reflect, and to write. And so, because I've concluded much of my blogging is selfish, I've decided I need to "sort out my priorities" (HP reference anyone?). I want to create a little order out of the chaos that is this blog to make sure that I am focusing on the things that I find most important. 
I also realized I can get this printed as a scrapbook. And so I have added incentive to make sure I'm documenting the things I want :) 

1. I blogged a little while back about saving the world. I've come to realize there is so much we can do and so coming soon I am going to introduce the DIY: Save the World series, sharing simple things, like in this post, that we can all do to make a difference (and together save the world?)

2. I am continuing and revamping my "Inspired" posts. Inspired can be anything from the God-sent smile from a stranger or a quote that lifted my spirit and spoke to my soul. I am excited to have guest posts from people who inspire me and hope to share just a little of that inspiration with all of you. 

3. I am most certainly keeping Wednesday Wedding Details because marriage is certainly of the upmost importance and weddings are the wonderful ways of celebrating the start of it (and now that I'm mostly done documenting my wedding I am looking forward to sharing new ideas as well as featuring other beautiful weddings). 

4. Project Thankful is something I started recently. I am finding 1000 things I am thankful for. So, if there are random lists of things at the bottom of posts in this font, those would be the ways I am seeing the blessings of God in my daily life. 

5. Given that I am trying to broaden my cooking repertoire, I want to hold myself to the goal of including a recipe every week or so as a way to force myself to find and try new things to share (i'll add that to the next section as a part of Right Now: What I'm Cooking). 

6. I also want to be able to document my life, our life. I want to remember the details; what we did, what I wore, what I read, what I listened to, where we went, what I bought..some silly things..but how cool would it be to look back 15 years from now and be able to read about your favorite outfits, activities, books, songs, and anything else from each year? And so I'm also introducing the Right Now: series. It'll include Right Now: What I'm ____ (fill in the blank with wearing, doing, reading, listening to...anything). 


7. I think I'll keep Friday Favorites but we'll see :) 

Thats all really - well and I might just have some rambling sessions because I tend to enjoy writing those. Thanks for reading. And thanks for your comments. It means a lot, really. This little blog has become a fun part of my day, and I already am loving looking back and watching it change as I do. 


Love,
Elisabeth 


any thoughts or suggestions? this is what i've come up with these past few weeks although I"m toying with the idea of friends or faces international or something as a way to introduce you to (and reconnect with?) all the incredible people I know across the globe and what they're doing. what do you think?
