Keep Calm and Just Sparkle

by Marva | Sun Sparkle Shine

I just joined the Blog Staycation for the first time and so far I am having a blast. I actually have a laundry list of things I want to accomplish with my blog in the next four days. Since this is the beginning of the school year for my kids, this will be a huge undertaking. I mean, what was I thinking. How can I stay calm at a time like this? But here’s the thing. I can throw my arms up in the air and say it’s impossible or I could jump in and do what I can. Guess which one I chose?

Life is no different. We often have a choice. And most times the choices we make shape our consequences. Thankfully, the Blog Staycation is not a do or die situation so I can go a bit easy on myself.

I have set some (I think) realistic goals and so far, I’m pretty much on my way to accomplishing them. This post is already evidence of what I’ve been able to do so far.  By the end of this weekend my blog will have a new home and a new look.  Yay! I’m excited! And surprisingly calm! 🙂 I can’t wait to show you the result!
