Squares That Care




Last year I had an idea called Squares That Care. I wrote a post about it, I was totally into it, and then I kind of just left it. Fast forward to the present, where I've been reading a book by Joyce Meyer called "The Love Revolution." It's about just that: starting a revolution of love. There is a chapter all about action, doing good for others, never being idle. Then I realized just how idle I've been in my life. How I've let the setbacks get me down and discourage me. Never having any real motivation, never bearing any real fruit. I don't know what God's plan is for me, I don't know what special skill or talent I have and I certainly don't know what to do with it if I ever found out what it was. So I prayed about it, and again this idea was put back in my head, weighing on my heart. Should I try it? I kept asking God, and the urge to do it never went away. So I decided I'd give it a shot, and if it doesn't work out, then at least I'll know.

So that leads me to reintroducing Squares That Care. I made a blog specially for the project that you can find here. It tells you all about it. I hope a lot of you participate, or spread the word so others can join. I'm excited to see the community and creativity that I know has the potential of growing out of this. I can't wait to see where and what this leads to! I have a feeling big things are in store!

I bought these shoes months ago but haven't been able to wear them until yesterday (read: hadn't really thought about it) While I love everything about them: the wedge, the laces, the peep-toe, they are an absolute toe-killer. I suppose it's my own fault, wearing them shopping when I knew I'd have a fair amount of walking to do. I guess I have two choices now: only wear them when I know there will only be limited walking, or suit up my toes with pads and inserts as if I'm going into battle.

I was, however, quite pleased with this lipcolor. I layered Covergirl's Divine over Revlon's Grape and was surprised how much I liked the two different shades of purple together. I should start mixing lipcolors more often.

Okay, so maybe I was trying to copy the first outfit in the previous post and failed miserably. MAYBE.
