Our intention creates our reality.

Wayne Dyer

Hi! My name is Kellie and I’ve created this site to help me conduct a personal one-year experiment.

To me, “Suaimhneas: Living Goddess” means peace, joy and beauty, internally and externally. My new blog title represents my intention to perform 15 actions daily for one year. But, I am only committing to maintaining one new habit, and that is to check-in daily and share the actions I took.

Sometimes this will mean just posting the list with simple check marks. Sometimes I imagine there will be thoughts about the actions or my day. Sometimes I might feel inspired to write a stand-alone post reflecting on part of the journey or something that happened in my day.

I am not creating routines to incorporate all the activities into my day. Indeed, I am not committing to performing all of the activities every single day. My only committment is to examine the list at the end of my day and acknowledge what actions happened. This is me keeping it simple.

I don’t know whether any readers will follow this journey. I don’t know whether I even want anyone to follow this journey. My desire to document the challenge is partly to impose some kind of accountability for myself, and partly because I used to love to blog and I really want to get back to all the things that I used to love doing and somehow lost along the way. So if you’re reading this, welcome, and thank you (I think).

If you’d like to learn more about how I got here and my plan for the future, please read my first post.
