Commitment to Loveliness: March 29th...

It's time for another Commitment to Loveliness! This is a fun way to increase femininity and beauty in our lives each week without even trying! All you have to do is choose five things that you would like to work on or do during the week that will increase the loveliness in your life!

Here's mine :

1. Look at the rooms as I clean and think: In my dream world, how would this look? Then do one thing (or more!) towards that ideal. I did this the other day in the bathroom, and it meant mainly clearing a lot of clutter away and folding the towels carefully.
2. Be honest with myself and others--no commitments I don't intend to follow through on, etc. (To create peace!)
3. Journal.
4. Try again to have dinner at the table at least three times this week!
5. Practice ballet 3 times and ride my bike to work twice this week.

Here are mine:
1. Keep a cheerful countenance in spite of my cold.
2. Think over this essay and Psalm 116:1-9 each night before bed.
3. Cut a new bouquet for the kitchen table.
4. Work on doing household tasks peacefully and methodically. (Montessori-inspired)
5. Catch up on the laundry so the clothes that feel lovely are available to wear again!

Here's my list for the week (a little late!):
1. Send a real letter to my sister.
2. Work on Amish quilt(I've been procrastinating with this on and off for 5 years!)
3. Put together an outfit for Thanksgiving.
4. Work on having a gentle and quiet spirit...
5. Switch to lavendar soap instead of Irish Spring!

#1

I finally did #1 in my commitment to loveliness. It feels so nice to have a warm afghan on the couch and fall colors in the room.

Commitment to Loveliness

I think the commitment to loveliness is such a great idea! Here is mine:

1. Make a fall decoration for the coffee table.
2. Buy mousse and style my hair.
3. Turn the covers back before bed.
4. Smile while I do housework.
5. Clean my prayer corner.
