As the “Live on Purpose” lady, I come across all sorts of interesting projects, books, and blogs related to purpose. Today I learned about an ongoing project called “Project Purpose” by Patti Roney from a Twitter friend Dyann Lyon.
So far, the project asks participants to show gratitude every morning by listing out the things we are grateful for. This creates a warm glow in the heart and sets the stage for the rest of the project; to use creativity and hand write letters to people in our lives every day.
Give it a try, and if you can’t commit to writing letters every day for 90 days, just try it for a week. See if you feel lighter in spirit by doing this. As Dyann Lyon says,
“It is very hard to get depressed, negative or down when you are in a constant state of gratitude!”

Jessica, I am reading a fun book right now called “life is a verb” by Patti Digh. It says: 37 days to wake up, be mindful and live intentionally.
Your post reminded me of this book. You (or your readers) might want to check it out.

Great suggestion, Kathy! I went to see the cover at Amazon and it is so cute, well, “professionally designed”. Readers can see synopsis and a review here:
