What are your daily reads?
My morning routine goes like this...wake up, figure out what day it is, hit the hot pink coffee maker and snag the hot pink Bible. After my Jesus date, I hit the gym and cruise twitter while warming up on the shredmill. When I get home from my sweat session, I write or read blogs.
{And then there's the mornings I wake up late, toss on hot pink converse and my leather jacket, plus whatever jeans are on the floor (probably in that order) and cruise to corporateland, while praying to God I remembered my phone and my laptop.}
On good mornings, my routine involves a lot of social media (a.k.a. the Internet). The internet is our future, freelance is the new 9 to 5, and everything we put online our grandkids will see. (Hi Gracie, grandma is proud of you!). So I make the internet a priority, and I learn as much as I can from it, as much as time and discipline will allow.
Last week, Daizy asked if I could recommend a few Christian blogs. This post goes out to her. I follow about 30 blogs covering Christianity, "personal development" (a.k.a. let's get better at life today), scrapbooking, fitness, and of course...GLAM.
Here is the blogroll of writers I keep up with:
CHRISTIANITY
Spiritual Inspiration
{If you visit one, let it be this one.}
***Thanks to Dan Snyder who helped me add a couple blogs that might resonate with you. His blog is amazing, and just may be my favorite. The post he shared over the weekend is a prime example of why. Check it out here.
DESIGN + GLAM
PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
SCRAPBOOKING
FITNESS
Don't be overwhelmed, it's a big list! My prayer is that one of these writers touches your life like they've touched mine.
If there is ever a book I can recommend, or a blog, a fitness routine, a verse of Scripture, or maybe some scrapbooking advice from my ten years of memory keeping obsession, or whatever is on your heart...I'd be honored. E-mail me at lisamarie{at}paperandglam{dot}com, leave a comment, smoke signal, pray, tweet...I'd love to connect. I'm just a regular girl trying to do this life right, and absolutely nothing fires me up more than using a piece of my life to connect to yours.
My greatest hope is that one day Paper & Glam is not a blog, but a community. A community of girls trying to do this life right, to honor God, and to leave a hot pink dent on this world, not just with glitter, but with the way we have loved. If we can help each other, inspire each other, or just love each other...let's do that, let's BE that. Let's be the love that wins.
What are your daily reads? What's missing from my list?
mad hope,
Lisamarie
Daizy,
Thanks so much for the comment, it was fiercely encouraging.
P.S. Love your e-mail address. My puppy is named Daisy May after our hero, Daisy Duke. Have a beautiful Tuesday, I adore you!
