It has been a crazy week indeed and my 90-Day Summer Simplifying Challenge lost a bit of spark. Today I am reaching for accountability. It was a good time to read my 90-Day Summer Simplifying Manifesto!!
A Recovering Magpie’s Accountability
I am recovering my balance and returning to accountability. After the disruptions of this week I need to return to the foundations of the 90-Day Summer Simplifying Challenge. Holding myself accountable has been an ongoing part of this journey. Even the blog posts that you are reading are a large part of the accountability for me.
{Coming clean} I will not do things if there is no accountability!
My Summer Simplifying Challenge
I am finding the entire process is holding me accountable now. I want to make my Summer Simplifying Challenge a part of my life…NO, it has become a part of my life. The daily tasks have been small enough to accomplish, yet they are a continual reminder that I am changing…in a good way.
Change is not always celebrated in my life. I like to grow, but I am in many ways a creature of habit. I can become very comfortable with the status quo. I had become comfortable within the chaos of my life. And, I am now becoming comfortable within the 90-Day Summer Simplifying Challenge.
How great is that? The process has become a part of me and my life. I did a little math today just to see how many words this series will produce. If the average post is 400 words and I do this for 90 days, I will have written some 36,000+ words by September 1. That is a small book. The average novel is usually 76,000 words or more. If you write 400 words a day (a really small blog post) you can have a novel in six months. That really caught my attention.
I could, in theory, turn this series into a book. A new idea for the recovering Magpie to marinate with. I am not adding anything new to the mix just yet. I promise. I am growing as a person and as a homemaker. I am transforming the old habits into new ones that I plan to keep even after this Summer Simplifying Challenge is over. Changes. Growth. Transformation. YEAH!
