Things I Love Thursday: Inspiron Edition

Whoops I left it all for a week...


The podcast/radio show "Adam and Joe" had a silly jingle where they said that at one point, the podcast would simply be known as "Inspiron".

That silly made-up word inspired me, and I think "INSPIRON!!" whenever I am inspired by something... as if some sort of giant robot called "Inspiron" or "Inspirotron" has come along from outer space to help me in my life.

Anyway... this week, I love...

♥  MY 30 DAY CHALLENGE FRIENDS!!!
So many people have pulled together and decided to set goals for themselves. Be it fitness, happiness, health, lifestyle, whatever... they are people from all areas of my life encouraging each other. They are all so positive and ready to set forward for the next 30 days, and I am so thrilled by all of this!
♥  Feeling fit!
♥  Cups of (probably terribly unhealthy) powdered matcha latte
♥  Romance novels (haha!)
♥  Astrology apps. I love reading my horoscope so much, even if I don't understand what it means when Capricorn is in the house of Pluto or whatever, it tickles me to read that I'll have good luck in love or money or an unexpected visitor or whatever.
♥  Seeing movies with rad people. Yesterday I saw "Maleficent" (so good!) and today I'll see an advance screening of "Echo"!!!



Spring is gone, except for the rain, and summer is heating up!
Are you blissing out?

Shameless plugs and inspiration

One of my inspirations for starting this blog, for being a blogger, was fashion blogger Sara Mari.

Let's get the shameless part out of the way: she's hosting a giveaway, I'm entering, and posting a link to that giveaway is one of the ways to enter. Here it is!

Ahem, anyway. You should visit her blog, and not just for the giveaway. She's a good blogger.

Obviously we write about different things, but I really was inspired by her dedication to blogging, and her absolute vigilance when creating a "blog self"... that is, she wouldn't blog if she had nothing to say, she wouldn't share more than she had already decided to share, and rather than blarfing out her life on the page in a very random way, she created these neat little entry bundles that would cover no more, no less, than what she wanted.

Obviously I have not followed this, as wandering into random tangents about me, me, me! is one of my strong points in writing.


At any rate, she recently took about a year off from blogging. Too many times I decide to follow blogs, and then they sort of peter off into nothing, or the focus changes, or something just... happens, and the blog is no more. That's fine, life happens. But sometimes, the writer comes back.

Sara Mari came back just about the time that I started posting more entries again, just this past month.

Important note: I am just lazy. She refused to post because she wasn't feeling up to scratch for her own blog, which is an important distinction to make. I was just too lazy to bang out some words about whatever. (Oh crap, is that all I do? Well... kind of)

I was so thrilled to see her writing again! She makes me want to write more, to keep up some sort of goal in blogging.


Would doing a 30-day Write Everyday type of challenge work?

I don't know, but seeing her posts inspires me to post too.
