Celebrating One Year of Live Wonderstruck

WOW OH WOW! Live Wonderstruck is celebrating its one year anniversary today. Blogiversary? Hmm, I think so, yes. It is a one year blogiversary.

One year since I launched this site with a little post called Bring on the Wonder.

What has been my favorite part?

It's hard to say. There are so many things I love- the space to write, the friendly commenters, all of you who take time to read my words.

One of my favorite things has definitely been the involvement of others. This is the first blog where I have posted interviews. So many wonderful people have stepped up. It's been amazing to see how differently each of them answer the same five questions.

Thank you to all of my wonderstruck interviewees!

What has been your favorite part?

According to the analytics, my highest viewed posts for the past year are:

I can't help but notice that food took up three of the top four spots. Noted. I like food. I can talk about food.

The posts you talked about the most (by way of comments, that is) were often interviews including Rhonda Hopkins, Judythe Hopkins, and Liv Rancourt. Then again you also commented a lot on When You Don’t Have Anything to Do on a Friday Night So You Buy Ducks. Understandable.

Food, interviews, ducks. Got it. I'm on it.

I rise to the challenge of bringing on more wonder. Which brings me to another point: I'm looking for many more interviewees so if you have a suggestion, send me a note on the contact page. And if you are the one who would like to jump in, check out the interviews page for details.

In the meantime, I'll keep plugging away in usual (and maybe unusual) wonderstruck fashion.

Thank you, thank you for being part of this journey.

Wreck This Journal: Week 2

Image
Journal wrecking commenced last Friday. (If you don't know what I'm talking about, read the Week 1 post about the Wreck This Journal book blogging group .) [caption id="attachment_725" align="aligncenter" width="225" caption="The journal in its current state"] [/caption] When I told my husband about the book, he looked at me like I was crazy. Then he opened it. He read every page with increasing excitement and asked if he could play too. Suddenly and vivaciously he chucked the journal across the room and proclaimed, "it said to make a destructive unpredictable movement with the journal so I threw it!" I love this man. Here is the destruction that ensued this week... A walk in the rain. Tea bag staining. Fuji apple sticker added. Water-colored the home page, which subsequently bled through to the other side. Bonus!

Wreck This Journal: Week 8

A lot of people in this Wreck This Journal book blogging group tackled the burning page early on. Since I waited, it felt almost a little boring so I just kept ignoring that page. With the help of my husband and stepson, last night I ceremoniously burned the page. We even made another video. I have to give my husband loads of credit for his ideas on how to burn the page as well as his film directorship. I hope you like it. Happy wrecking! If you're confused as to what this Wreck This Journal stuff is all about or curious to see what other wrecking has transpired, here are some links to bring you up to speed.

When It’s Not All Sunshine and Butterflies

Life is not always filled with sunshine and butterflies. Some days are just different. They’re a little rougher. A bit tougher on our soul. And, you know what? That’s okay. Really. You’re not always going to be perfect. You’re not always going to get it right. The point is that you keep going. Keep trying. Change directions. Take a break. Here are a few links to things I’ve read recently that have inspired me. Maybe you’ll find some inspiration, too. Ending Something Sometimes good things come to an end. Brandi Reynolds has been one of my favorite bloggers for the past few years. I’ve read along as she’s explored art, photography, yoga, and life. One of my favorite things about Brandi is she’s never afraid to try something new or change directions if she feels called to do so. This month she has announced she will no longer be blogging. At least for now. It may seem weird that I’m linking you to someone’s final post, but I love it as yet another demonstration of he
