A Year of Lent




First of all, let me wish you a Happy 2013.  I'm not sure where the first month went, but I am here to report my plans to make this year healthy, happy, and fabulous!!

I'm looking forward to many changes in 2013.  My three years in Laos will come to an end and I will relocate to Argentina!



 


A good friend of mine has done "12 Months of Lent" for the past few years.  I've been watching her Facebook intently and admired her dedication so much that I wanted to carry on the tradition.  How does 12 Months of Lent work?  I'm glad you asked!!  Each month I will commit to challenge myself to a task. 
 
Here is a list of what my plan is for 2013
 

January:  Reconnecting

I made it a priority to reconnect with 15 people whom I lost touch with over the years.  Friends, colleagues, former students.  It was great to catch up and see how people are doing, what they're doing, and to share what's happening in my life!

February:  Pay it Forward

I put a call out on Facebook, challenging 28 people to "Pay it Forward".  I would perform a random act of kindness for them in return to them committing to pay it forward.  I've had tons of fun finding thoughtful items which suit each of my friends.  Only 18 people committed, but I've also decided to do little things for people near and far!



Here's a picture of my first packages ready for the mail!!
