A Month of Instas: March

{via}

Happy April 1st everyone!

It's finally time to say goodbye to March and welcome in a new month and I couldn't be more thrilled about it. 

The month of March was really great to me. A lot of really fun things happened as you can see in all of the instagram posts from above. I've been actively continuing on my #100happydays throughout the month and also posting some random things here or there. I have some throwbacks and some amazing quotes that I just fell in love with over the month. 

For me March was:

♠ A new start. (I said the same thing in January, but really God worked on my heart so very much this month that it felt like a fresh start.)

♠ One month closer to graduating. (56 days left!!!)

♠ New experiences. What with going to Lexington for Winter Jam for the first time ever to beginning a lot of new things in my life. 

♠ It meant hope.

I just really loved March and I am loving April already. 

Here's to a great month, and many more adventures.

xx, Shiloh. 

My Happy List

So, I generally have a hard time finding reasons to be happy. I mean, don't get me wrong, I try and try and try some more to find the little things in life that make me happy. I think I'm actually starting to get better at it too, which actually makes me really excited. That was why I decided to do the 100 Happy Days challenge (you can check it out here). I think it's a fabulous idea to try to find something that makes you happy everyday and that it can just be the little things in life. I think that it is a really cool challenge to get people thinking.

{I'm doing it on instagram, if you'd like to join me.}

Anywho, I thought that I would post a little list of things that make me happy in honor of starting the #100HappyDays today. A lot of little things make me happy.

• Jesus
• my bible
• my tattoo
• summer
• kings island
• facing fears
• drinking out of mugs
• getting good grades

There are many other things that also make me happy, so you'll have to follow me on instagram to see those things.

A Month of Instas: January.

As the month of January is coming to a close I thought I would share my instagram photos of the month.

I'm not usually very big on posting a lot of photos, but I do post somewhat often. These are the six pictures that I took in the month of January. January means a lot of things to me. Some might call it the "Monday of the Months" or anything else that constitutes that January is a boring month, but for me it's sort of a new beginning (I know, I know. Super cliche.) 

For me January is:

♠ A fresh start.

♠ The month of my birth.

♠ The month of second chances.

♠ A time to try and figure out who you are & who you want to be.

♠ A time to try new things, meet new people, read new books.

I don't know about other people, but I think January is pretty cool and I'm sad to see it ending so soon. But here's to the rest of 2014 - may it bring adventures and blessings to you all.
