One main aspect I love about social media is that it allows me to share and introduce you to a side of me that I don't normally share with everyone I know! I am learning to love myself and really open up to the person inside and allow myself to not worry about what people think. I am me and I am so proud! Social media and the gorgeous people I have met have opened my eyes to the real world and have shown me that its ok to be me! I love the fact that I can status update, tweet and post photos about the joys in my life. The things that make me happy. Those moments that I want to shout from the top of a mountain!
A challenge that I have set myself this year is the "Grateful and Happiness Challenge" A photo a day of something that makes me happy, makes me smile or something I am extremely grateful for. I think this will really push me to really open up my eyes and search deep within myself and my life. We are so lucky. We are blessed with so much that I think a lot of us take advantage of. Yes we see our luck in the big things and the expensive materials things, but I love the idea of looking beyond that and finding the good in every day. Life is tough, Im not going to deny that. I also have a very big and challenging year a head of me so I think by finding the happiness and joy in the little things will drive me to look beyond the tough hurdles and see the good. This has been my philosophy of my 'new life' and this blog. "Life is busy - so stop and appreciate those special moments - they will be the memories that last forever" and that's what this challenge will do for me every day of this year. I will be able to document every day and record those special moments or people that make me happy and that I am grateful for.
Here are my first 2 weeks - My first 15 "Special Moments" that I am grateful for and that makes me happy.
