Welcome to the April 1 OLW Blog Hop!
We are a group of students in Ali Edwards' class at Big Picture Classes. Each month on the first we share our assignment from the month. It is a way for us to stay accountable and keep up with the class and support each other at the same time as well as create a sense of community.
Thanks for stopping by!
My word is LOVINGKINDNESS. I am doing my best to treat myself, my family and all those around me in this way. I took some proactive steps in March to bring this feeling into my life more by planning activities that would brighten my days as well as those I love.
Next on the blog hop is MONICA. Please head on over there to be inspired!
If you should get lost along the way, please return here to find links to all the blogs on today's hop. There were some very last minute additions and someone who had to pull out at the last minute (unbeknownst to her), so please check the addendums below! Thanks!

Sounds like a great month and I like the contrast of getting off the computer to enjoy the face to face and then on the computer to interact with your e-maginary friends and far away family.

Looks like March was a good month for you. Your word is such a great choice.

Getting off the computer can be so hard when you are so far away from "home". Good luck with going outside of your comfort zone and inviting the culure and people around you into your sphere of LOVINGKINDNESS! Thanks as always for hosting and for sharing. Hope to see you next month as well! -Amanda (Scrappnbee)

I love your word Margie and the proactive way you have set your priorities. Face to face so much better than the computer any day. I hope April is a great month for you as well!

I couldn't agree more with the need to unplug....I've been trying to do that on Sundays but don't always succeed (like today). It sounds like you had a really great month!

I'm sorry Margie, I just sat out completely realizing I wasn't on the main list, so you can remove me! I've been in a blogging funk and need to snap out of it. Sorry for adding to the confusion!

Back to go through the hop and start with you. I had been wondering where you were, so nice to read your goals and things you've been doing. I've been in a blogging funk and thinking I may need to step away from the computer more too. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us Margie!
Posted by: Rebekah | April 02, 2012 at 14:52
I love that you had so many opportunities to act on your word! :) Go Margie! (oh and your handwriting is beautiful!

Unplugging from the computer - now that's going to be hard - but I am always amazed at everything I get done when I do this - its amazing isn't it! I love your word too - its perfect.
