Happy 2015!!!!

Here it is, the beginning of a NEW YEAR! I think this is an exciting day. You get to start over and set new goals to better your life. Have you written your New Year's Resolutions?

I spent the last week of the year analyzing this past year. It was a tough year, but also a year filled with many blessings. I'm grateful for all of the wonderful people that are a part of my life. They made a difference in my life, and for that, I am thankful.

As this new year begins, I am setting a lot of goals, just like everyone else. But I don't just want to make a list of goals that I'll forget about. I want to change my life.

That's quite the statement, right?

While I love my life, I want to be more present in living it. I want to seize everyday and do the things I love. I want to influence the life of others, I want to make a difference. I want to be a better person and I want to become a better version of myself.

How am I to accomplish all of this?

I'm breaking down my life, day by day. I'm making small changes that will help me become the best version of me. Some things may seem like small changes, but when all the changes are added together, it will change my life.

I'll be posting everyday, both here and on Instagram. I'll post the things, quotes and people who inspire me. I'll post challenges and update you on the things that work out, and those that don't.

I hope you'll join me on this journey. A 365 day journey. What will you name your  journey?

For now, let's name my journey...A Life that Sparkles.

What I'm Loving - Saturday, October 4, 2014

I am really loving my Filofax Nude Original Planner. Look at it! How can you not love it?

I'm looking forward to setting this up. I'm hoping to have that done by this weekend. I'll be sure to be back with pictures.

Finally?!

I'm so glad to finally be taking my blog to the next level. So many things have kept me from being able to fully develop the blog. But now, it's time.

I hope you enjoy the new layout.  There are more changes coming in the following weeks.

For now, please stay tuned for more regular updates. Also, a store feature will be added soon.

So, get comfy, and come by to have some fun!

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!

I hope today is going to be a great and relaxing day for you! How will you be celebrating?

I'm going to be spending the day with family. My brother is having a big BBQ. He says this is his favorite holiday. I like this day because every year on this day, I remember how fortunate I am to live in this great country. We have so many freedoms and privileges that can sometimes be taken for granted.

So, have a fantastic day and enjoy the long weekend.

Sparkle on,

Maria

A Brand New Start..

After many starts and stops, I have finally decided to make some changes to my blog. I wanted to really focus on what kind of blog I wanted this to be and what changes would be necessary.

I want this blog to be a reflection of my life and my thoughts. I have always loved writing and it is something that I truly enjoy. For many of us, writing on Facebook is the extent of expressing our thoughts. But that isn't really for me. I have a variety of interests and I want to share them here.

Over the next few weeks, there will be a brand new web design. It will be more reflective of the things I love. There will be new features and more consistent posts. I hope you will join me in this new adventure. I promise, it will be fun.

I love planners. I've loved them for years. After joining a lot of different groups on Facebook, I started my own page. I created "Filofax Decorated Pages" so that planner lovers from all over the world could share pictures of how they decorate their planners. The group has now grown to almost 4000! Who knew there were so many planner lovers out there!

In about a years time, I have accumulated my fair share of planners. Everything from Kikki K, Filofax, Daytimer and now Kate Spade. There is nothing like breaking in a new planner. I'll be posting pictures of my collection in upcoming posts.

Please share what planner you are loving the most.

I'm back!

This beautiful sparkly place has been left unattended long enough. I'm ready to return to regular posting.

Some things will be changing on the blog. I am going to be doing a re-design, along with adding some more features.

Stay tuned.....

Add some sparkle to your day,
