Two weeks ago, during Monday night meeting, we were given a sheet full of hundreds and hundreds of words, all part of our ritual. We were asked to choose one, and share with the chapter why we choose it. One word stood out to me, and has remained in my mind since then.
Simplify.
I know this has been a "hot" word since the whole simple-but-really-chic trend started. But simplifying to me, means a few different things.
Great minds think alike, or else I must of been on the same brain wave as others- because when I read this I was immediately inspired.
Here are some things on my to-do list:
•Design and create party invitations (yes, I'm having a party) and give them out by thanksgiving
•Design and create Christmas cards, send them out by 12/1
•Send out gifts to out-of-town relatives/friends by 12/1 (I already bought gifts)
•Purchase immediate family gifts & wrap them all in coordinating paper by 12/15
•Clean and organize room at sorority house before heading home for break
It probably doesn't seem like much, but to me- along with finals and the normal obligations, it's a ton of stuff. Let's keep hoping I can step up to the plate and keep on doin' the dang thang like I have been in year's past...
Starbucks now has holiday cups : )
