meet E. six years ago today, this guy entered the world. all 9 pounds 10 ounces of him. and as so many told us would happen, our hearts were forever changed. i’d always imagined what my life would be like with kids. E made all those thoughts a reality. some of the things i pictured,…
know what makes me even more excited than the LITTLE things?
your LITTLE things.
when i started the habit of listing 10 LITTLE things a day, my goal was to slow down, notice more God in my day, and make sure i wasn't letting the big things overcrowd the LITTLE things.
i shared my daily lists with a small group. i never expected they would start to email me their LITTLE things in return. i looked forward to their lists, as much as my own, and a curious thing occurred.
i discovered the LITTLE things are always there, for everyone. the key is to put in the effort to notice. the more you practice, the more the LITTLE things will come to define your day.
since then, it is my crazy dream that as many people as possible make their own LITTLE lists. that others can discover the big joy found in the LITTLE things. and that's what this page is all about.
friends old and new have started to notice the LITTLE things in their lives. the result? lots of smiles. so pull up a chair, grab some paper for your list, and allow me to introduce you to others who are doing the same.
want to share your list? email me at erin@noticethelittlethings.com and i'll walk you through the EASY process!
