How I did it
It made me
a better person 
How I did it: I added it to my morning routine. I think mornings are the best time to do something if you want to do them regularly. After I got in the habit I let myself write the list later in the day occasionally. What I do: I have a journal and I write at least 5 things I'm thankful for everyday in it. It's as simple as that and it has been life-changing. Read how I did it…
It made me
Thrilled!
How I did it: The public library didn't have a few of the older titles so this is why I stalled out on this goal for a while. Last week I went to a nearby university library and got a community library card. They had the remaining titles I hadn't read. Read how I did it…
It made me

How I did it: I confess, I built it out of legos for my son. I love tree houses and don't have big enough trees. So we've been building elaborate miniature ones with legos. They're super sweet though. The picture here is one of the first ones we built. Read how I did it…
