Hello Everyone!
Last Year my friend Ariel encouraged me to write a list
containing 100 things that I love about myself.
The list took over 3 hours to write, but it was an amazing experience
that I encouraged everyone to do when I posted the list to Facebook.
This year I decided to share my “100 Things I Love About
Myself List: 2012” with this awesome community.
As I did last year, I encourage everyone to take on writing a list. You can post it here, post it on your own
wall, or write it down on a scrap of paper.
A list like this requires self reflection, and it makes you
realize how truly amazing you are. My
list contains a variety of shout outs, silly habits, fun facts, and self
acknowledgement.
If you’d like to share your list with me, feel free to send
it via email to: todayisawesomeemail@gmail.com
With the list, please tell me if I have permission to share
some of the entries I receive to my tumblr, twitter, and my blog.
No matter who you share your list with (even if it’s just
you, yourself and I,) please let me know that you took on this cool project. J
I am so looking forward to seeing the amazing lists that are
going to be produced by this awesome community!
