Because as More Love Letters aptly states: "The World Needs More Love Letters" and gratitude! June 29, 2013 Dear World, I am astounded by your beauty. North Carolina Clouds By the incredible…

Happy 11-11-11 & 2-Year Anniversary!

It's hard to believe it's been 2 years since I started 6 Months to Live. November 11, 2009, I was sitting on my mom's couch that evening carefully crafting the theme, the name, and the beginning widgets for this blog. I knew almost nothing about blogging and even less about Wordpress. I had no idea if anyone would even read…

Day 175: One Week

Day 75: Simple Joys

Some of the sweetest moments in life are the simplest. At the start of another week (2 months and 2 weeks into the experiment), it seems fitting to write 22 of what I consider to be life's simple joys. 1. A stranger's smile 2. Songs that are too beautiful to contain words 3. Climbing trees 4. The feeling after finishing…
