I’ve Got “One Month to Live”

My Real Women Scrap newsletter just went out and I've issued a challenge to thousands…you're next!

6a00d83451bb0b69e20115725221cf970b 800wi Ive Got One Month to Live Answer this question…

What would you do if you only had one month to live? Want to find out? This month of August, I'm going to find out and I would be honored and thrilled if you would join me.

Here's how you can be a part…

1. Get and read through "One Month to Live" by Kerry & Chris Shook with me. The purpose of the book is to live a no-regrets life, to wake up, be alive, and present to all that is happening.

2. Visit my blog daily for life-changing questions and personal journal entries as I go through each day. Leave comments with your answers to the questions too. 

3. Send me your discoveries and thoughts about the book or this topic and I'll do what I can to include them in one of my posts.

If you've been following my life the past few months, you know that I've experienced quite a few deaths in my family and it has shaken me awake. I'm determined to stay awake and I want to do everything I can to help shake you awake too. 

Will you join me? I'd love to travel this road with you. To sweeten the deal, I'm giving away TWO PRIZE PACKS: a reader one and a scrapbooker one. Just leave a comment letting me know you're in and you're eligible to win.
If you'd like an extra entry, tell your friends on Facebook or Twitter and get an extra entry (make sure to come back and comment again with your URL.)

Here's to creating the life you've always wanted!

    Thanks for the book recommendation Bonnie! I’ll have to check it out. I know you’re on a similar path staying awake, pursuing your dreams, and living a life you only dreamed was possible.

    Thanks Stephanie! Hope you are inspired and encouraged throughout the month!

    Oh Carla. You said what we are probably all thinking and feeling. Bottom line, we all need to change, want to change, and hope it is possible. This month we’re going to make that happen! So glad you’re joining us.

    Smart girl! Should’ve mentioned the library as an idea in my post. I love getting books at the library, especially as quickly as I go through them! ;-) Let me know how your journey goes. Would love to hear your progress!

  • http://profile.typepad.com/realwomenscrap Tasra Dawson

    You rock! Thanks for spreading the word. I added you as a friend on Twitter and Facebook. Will check out your blog this afternoon when the house is quiet. :-)

    I am so sorry to hear about your brother. I can’t even imagine the feeling and sense of loss. So inspired by your desire to live in the moment and make every moment matter. Your actions will honor your brother in his passing.
    God bless,

    Thanks Darcy! I’m really looking forward to seeing what the month will bring as well. I’m already feeling energized and excited by the response and connection this topic has to so many of us who have been struggling and trying to stay in the moment.
    I hope we’ll hear from you about what you’re going through as well!

    I am so inspired by this concept. I am in, for sure! I will be reading the book and looking forward to the discussions!
    Life is too short — but how many times have I said that and done nothing about it? I am hereby going public with an intention to change, and _give_ more to life…NOT just “get more out of life.”

    Tasra,
    I am in. I was surprised when my BFF sent me your newsletter as I had forgotten I got her to sign up last year. I hadn’t had the chance to open your newsletter yet and I am so happy she sent it to me. It was meant for me.
    You are not going to believe this, but your theme goes right along with the theme and goal of my office. I am just now reading this so I have a few days of catching up and I also need to order your book!

    I am….love both reading and scrapbooking!!
