Day 6/31 Autumn Splendor in Northern Michigan

This is my favorite time of year. There are so many things I love about Autumn in Northern Michigan. I would not want to live anywhere else this time of year. There is a little of something that I love from every season in Michigan, but the Autumn colors are just breathtaking to me.

31 Days: {Day 1} Finding Inspiration & Gratitude

I am participating in the 31 Days of Change over at {The Nesting Place}. I am going to attempt to post daily what inspires me and what I am grateful for. I have been in a rut since becoming pregnant in May. Exhaustion was the theme throughout summer which left me very little time to be inspired. Projects and daytrips were put on hold until I had more energy. Although I still get tired very easily I need something creative to focus on. I am hoping that this project is just what I need. I also hope others find inspiration and gratitude also!

I plan to Celebrate more!

According to the authors of “Why Good Things Happen to Good People” celebration is one of the most important ways that we express gratitude. Notice a theme going on here?

I try to make gratitude a daily practice of mine, but this year I want to take it one step further. Celebration is gratitude in action.
