Positive Pondering (she: Anna.)

Hi loves! My name is Anna from the blog Little Reminders of Love. I am so excited to have been invited to contribute to such a great blog!
A quick introduction: I’m twenty years old & I attend the University of Kansas studying journalism &German, I’m also the youngest of four and an aunt of five! : )
Well, when I was first invited I thought &a thought & thought about what I could possibly do a post on…then it hit me–it’s a brand new year &I would love to share a brilliant idea I have recently come across & immediately fell in love:

“Buy a blank notebook. Draw a huge heart on the cover. Don’t write anything negative in here. If you need another outlet, make a separate notebook. This one is all about love, personal growth, and getting back up. Fill it with beautiful images, reaffirming thoughts, and quotes. Write in it every day, and each day write one thing you’re grateful for in your life.”

-via.

I particularly adored this idea while I often find myself snickering about how much I hate my hair, or that so-and-so drives me crazy, when I really have so much to be happy about. So this idea will really help me keep things in perspective for 2010!

Happy Journaling, darlings!
xo-Anna

p.s. be sure to use lots of color &doodles…even if you don’t feel like writing, just draw a small something or tape a receipt or movie stub in from the day! ; )

    Anna, you are the epitome of “sweet”. I love the innocence of your blog and your sense of self. It’s inspiring, the love you have of being an Aunt to such darling kids. Wonderful!

    Thanks so much for the post today! Couldn’t we all use a little more positivity in our lives?? What a great way to reinforce that and have another wonderful memory book.
