Celestine Chua whom I discovered through her guest post at Zen Habits announced her 30-day "Live a Better Life in 30 Days" Challenge. I love Celestine Chua because she makes minimalism/simple living closer to Asians. She's a personal development coach in her early twenties from Singapore. At a young age, she already discovered her life's purpose, something that I haven't yet achieved in my 31 years. It's also the only PD blog that I have read that actually works; most of the blogs I have read about PD are often too scary or too discouraging because I have no idea how to apply it to my life right now. For example, while I would like to live like Chris Guillebeau who travels around the world and applaud the way he is working towards his goals, I honestly don't have the resources right now. I also have two little kids who need me. When Celestine said, "Because life is not about reaching and attaining your goals. Life is about living in alignment with your purpose every single day, to your best of abilities," (emphasis mine) I was completely won over.
This is also a nice way to achieve what Krissy, my favorite blog friend, had done in her 30 Days of Pretty Little Things inspired by Mariel Chua of Ny Minute Now. Krissy is the person who forever erased my skepticism of the Internet and Internet relationships. She is refreshing and reminds me of Anne of Green Gables which is the highest compliment I can ever give because she is my favorite book character ever. So, Krissy, here goes!
My 30 Days Blogging Challenge starts tomorrow and I'm glad it's September. September brings to mind golden fiery-reds of trees and lovely autumn weather. My favorite season will always be autumn. Although I cannot experience this season in the Philippines, my recollections about it are still vivid. Don't you just love it when your memories are full of bursts of color and excitement? That's exactly what I feel right now.
You can go over to this link and sign up if you're into this PD stuff. Let me know if you do. I'd love to do it with you.

Aww Marj, you are so sweet! Your words nearly brought tears to my eyes, really :) You are an amazing, awesome woman, and I am so glad I met you in this big world wide web!
I wish you luck in this 30-Day Blog Challenge, I'm sure you can do it! Do you know Autumn is my favorite season, too? :)
PS: You are actually the second person who told me I remind them of Anne of Green Gables. I better get my own copy of the book soon! :)
Krissy, your openness is always refreshing in this world full of jaded people. I am also glad I met you in the blogosphere...
