magic monday / on a tuesday.

Magicmondayrun

After reading about this, I set a goal to run at least a mile every day from Thanksgiving to New Years. I started the day after Thanksgiving, so yesterday was day four...and so far, I'm four for four. The real challenge, of course, begins today. The past few days have just meant running twice around my parents 0.7 mile block and looking for the prettiest pile of leaves to take a photo with. If I am able to keep running through the move and while settling into our new place, it will surely be magic.

So today, instead of dwelling on the craziness ahead, I am celebrating the joy that is getting my heart rate up and fresh air in my lungs. And I am taking deep breaths and reaching down to my toes to summon every inch of patience I have to get through this move.

My name is Elise Blaha Cripe. I live in Northern California with my husband and our two daughters.

I make stuff like it's my job.

In October 2019, my book about getting stuff done, Big Dreams, Daily Joys hit bookstores everywhere. For almost ten years, this blog was where I shared (daily!) general life musings, insight into being a small business owner and the occasional craft project. I have closed comments, but feel free to email me at elise[@]elisejoy.com if you have any questions about a post you see here.

If you're new here, I invite you to browse the archives, read my small business story or start with some of my favorite things to write about, DIY home decor & goal-setting. You can also listen to my motivational speech about the power of making bold statements.

Still looking for more content? Listen to my creative podcast, take one of my eCourses or subscribe to my newsletter.

Thank you so much for dropping by.
