enJOY it

an archived personal and craft blog from Elise Blaha Cripe.

Every year I notice my one little word finds me more often than I find it. I read this today here and it hit me hard. I had totally blown past it when I read Yes, Please so I was glad to see it again in black and white today.

Happy Monday night!

    Amy always seems to have the best quotes out there. What a great reminder!
    And I would completely agree with you, my one little word always seems to pop up and surprise me more and more throughout the year, too (sidenote: you worded that way better than I did!). 🙂

    I just read her book and really enjoyed it. Great to reread this quote today to get a little motivation to shake things up myself and get my house organized before the semester begins.

    Love it. It reminds me of those sayings that go something like “all the cells in your body are new every 7 years, making you a totally new person” or something. The idea that we should and do need to check in with our lives and it’s ok to sort through and “Spring clean” is very cool to me. Plus your yearly word popping up is also cool.
    I recently found your blog and you inspired/pushed me to start the blog I’ve been thinking of for awhile. Between your beautiful photos and your podcast I started yesterday and am very excited about it!
