Inspired by Kylie and her amazingly free online-class “Welcoming the Good,” I decided to post my contribution to one of last week’s assignments. Based on this post, we produced lists of our own.
50 things, big and small, life-changing and everyday, profound and seemingly-inconsequential. Anything goes!

There’s the list! The challenge follows: create your own list of happiness! Things that you LOVE to do. It only takes a couple of minutes, but this process has the potential to add some serious sparkle to your day.
Kylie’s further challenge to us was to select one of these things to do next Friday as the conclusion of the online class. I haven’t yet decided which one I plan to do, but I am excited to engage in a little self-care!
I hope you join me in this little journey of joy!
