Let's get acquainted

Thank you for visiting! Thank you for reading! Thank you for clicking through the link!

"Thank you" is a word you will see frequently here. You'll see it in action, through words, pictures, stories and thoughts and I hope it leads you to say some thank yous of your own. The whole idea of this project is to start recognizing the need to say thank you more; to understand through reflection the importance of gratitude. The idea came to me last night early evening, as inspired by MOG # 1: Doorsteps and stairways, which you can read about next. Simply put, this is just another way for me to amount to something. As a sort of New Years resolution, I want to post 365 moments of gratitude over the course of 2014. Notice the subtle phrasing here; there will not be a guarantee of daily posts but there will be days where dashboards will be flooded with thankfulness. The reason being that a daily deadline is just as daunting as it sounds, but an overarching goal allows for much more fluidity. This is more than a New Years resolution, more than just another blog and that's why I'm making it public, posting often and spreading the good word as much as I see fit. I hope you can help do the same. 

The rules for posting an MOG (moment of gratitude):
- 365 posts by January 1st, 2015; but quality over quantity, always
- accompanied with pictures, if possible 
- explanations must be at least one sentence long


And hey! This may be MY moments of gratitude, but I want some featuring acts! If you have a moment of thankful recognition then please, contact me and let's get a post up. I want this project to start off as my blog, written for both myself and for all of you and then turn into something bigger.. maybe a movement, maybe a book, maybe a chronological movie starting Lea Michele... mostly just to spark a change within people to see that the little moments we give thanks for amount to something worth living for.

I could not be more excited.

I leave you feeling grateful and buzzing already,
