February 26th - Jot down 25 endings to this statement - "I love....." Jot them down as quickly as possible without trying to think about what you should say.

February 27th - "If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant; if we did not sometimes taste adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome" ~ Anne Bradstreet.

I love this quote because it is a reminder to never take the blessings in my life for granted. And yet, sometimes I do. What areas of your life are a blessing to you that you sometimes take for granted. How can you make sure that you remember the magic of that blessing today?

February 28th - In the quote above, Anne says that we embrace our prosperous times even more, because of experiencing adversity in the past. Today select one experience that seemed bad to you at the time, but you were later thankful for having experienced.

For me, I used to get upset sometimes that my parents were sometimes strict with me. Now, I look back and see the wisdom of their guidelines. I am very grateful that they helped me avoid some potential pitfalls and am a stronger, better person because of it.

Leap Year Bonus - If this is a leap year I want you to do the following exercise. Jot down 5 things you want to do, but keep putting off because you "just don't have time". Pick one and do it! Journal about how it felt to finish that task, start that book or sign up for that class.

March 1st - This month is National Women's History Month. With such a long list of amazing women to choose from, this will be a difficult assignment. Make a list of 5 women you would love to have an afternoon lunch with, and why.

March 2nd - Now choose one of the women from your list above and write out five questions you would ask them if given the opportunity. If you are a creative writer, consider writing out a scene of your conversation together.

March 3rd - This week is Save Your Vision Week and while your physical health and eyesight is certainly important, I want to talk about a greater vision. Where do you see yourself in 5 years? Describe what that looks like - your daily activities, the people you know, the things you are doing.

March 4th - Having a vision for your life is not enough. You must also be actively pursuing those dreams and visions! What are you currently doing to propel yourself towards the future vision you have?
