100 Things That Made My Year | 2023 Edition

100 Things That Made My Year | 2023 Edition

All the Elsie Green girls have been inspired by Austin Kleon's list of "100 Things That Made My Year (2022)" and we've started creating our own lists.  It's a simple, but effective exercise in finding the joy in the every day. 

Thank you Austin for the inspiration.  And thank you to all the people who made this a damn good year.

Embracing Trust

Embracing Trust

I love resolutions.  I always have.  The thought of having a fresh start on January first is an inspiration to me.  I can do anything I want, be anything I want, feel any way I want, as long as I set my intention, and follow through.

Choosing Joy

Rather than make a long list of resolutions, I like to choose a word to guide me throughout the year.  For 2023, I've chosen joy.

Simple Pleasures

Simple Pleasures

"Make it simple, but significant."  - Don Draper

Those words have always resonated with me.  Now more than ever because I only have six days in December when all three of my children will be in the same state.
