Who doesn\u2019t love a nice little challenge?<\/p>\n
Well, in my many many wanderings through Social Media I found this blog and kind of a dare. As a person who loves those, I started reading. So, you have to write on your blog for 31 days, on any subject you like.<\/p>\n
\u2018Oh boy, oh boy, that sounds lovely\u2026 And there were so many topics going through my mind\u2026 But\u2026wait. I don\u2019t have a blog\u2026 Yet.\u2019<\/p>\n
So that\u2019s how it all started \ud83d\ude42 I wanted a blog for so long but I was always unsure of what I would write on it. Even though I do have lots of stories to tell, at least my friends always tell me how interesting my life is and how I live every moment, something just wasn\u2019t right. But when THIS<\/a>\u00a0came along, it felt just perfect. Maybe because just a few days before that, a friend of mine was annoyed with the fact that I was narrating a story and I only share it with a few people.<\/p>\n So, this is it. You\u2019re on my blog now, so it exists, yey! I joined the \u2018Write 31 Days\u2019 Challenge, that starts on the 1st<\/sup> of October and I plan to write the whole month, one post a day. At least one that\u2019s related to the topic I chose especially for this and then others of my day-to-day life.<\/p>\n You might be curious about my topic\u2026 But that\u2019s going to come out when the time is right. Let me tell you a bit about \u201931 Days\u2019. So it\u2019s an online writing challenge started by blogger Myquillyn Smith<\/a>. And it\u2019s where bloggers pick one topic and they write a post a day on it. There\u2019s also a community where we post those articles, and also a Facebook group, so that everyone can read the ones they\u2019re interested in the most.<\/p>\n I thought this was the perfect place for me to be in my blogging beginnings. It was all the motivation I needed, plus the social interaction with people that have the same determination and enthusiasm as me, but most of all, the same purpose.<\/p>\n I was looking at all those categories and I knew that I would never write on \u2018House & Home\u2019 or \u2018Family Life\u2019. In the end, I just knew that I belonged in the \u2018Too Awesome to Categorize\u2019 group. Ok, now may be the right time to tell you about my topic.<\/p>\n Initially, I was thinking about listing lovely words like \u2018Sausade\u2019 or \u2018Wanderlust\u2019, words that have a certain meaning that makes them interesting. But then, there would be no \u2018ME\u2019 in there\u2026 And since my friends tell me I have some interesting stories to tell, and they even got angry with the fact that I keep them to myself \u2013 there you have it, okay? I\u2019m going to take out my memories box out of the closet and for the 31 days of October I will tell you 31 lovely, funny, stories that made my life until now.<\/p>\n After deciding on my topic, I needed just one other thing \u2013 a title. How was I supposed to call it? 31 Days of what? Memories, stories, happenings, they were all too specific. One dear friend even suggested \u201931 Days of Sunshine\u2019. I did like it, it just wasn\u2019t right enough. And I got to thinking that all those memories were made at the right time with the right people for me to be a part of them. Most of them were unexpected, the people and\/or the happenings, I wasn\u2019t looking for either of them\u2026 And that made me remember my fav word in the whole world \ud83d\ude42 I just felt it, it was right, it was ME. And that one word is ‘Serendipity’.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n To get the latest \u201831 Days\u2019 posts, simply follow #Write31Days<\/a> on Facebook.
