Ok, so life gets busy. Really busy. But, I said I was going to be serious about this blog and about my intentions to be less guarded and live my life a little more. So I hereby give you (the 5 people who will read this) permission to nag me when I don't blog enough.
I mentioned that I was going to talk about my theme for this year. I read a few blogs that challenged people to find a one word theme for the year. I thought about it, prayed about it, made lists about it (because, oh, I am a list maker!) and finally felt something that made sense. Invest. That's my word: invest.
So for 2011, I will strive to invest in my marriage, invest in my relationships, invest in my journey with God, and invest in living my life. It has been amazing how much that one word has already challenged me in the first month of 2011. If you look at the tagline of this blog, you will see what finally inspired me. I am not big on song lyrics and tend it find it corny when people are always posting lyrics everywhere. That being said, Mumford & Sons new album Sigh No More has quite possibly the most amazing lyrics that I have ever heard. I am addicted and dangit, they speak to me. So now I join the corny lyric club. Go listen to track #10, Awake my Soul. There is a line that says "In these bodies we will live/in these bodies we will die/ where you invest your love, you invest your life." Stupid meaningful lyrics.
So there it is. My theme this year. Investing my love in what I do and who I see. I anticipate that this will not be easy or always comfortable. Even trying to be more aware of it for a month was intense.
Coming up next time: the first 5 items on my 30 before 30 list. If I don't post this soon, nag me.
