4th Year - SOLS

Filling out the slicer form, I had to think, will this be my fourth year or my third year? I went to my blog to skim and confirmed that I started my first slice challenge back in March of 2010. I read my end of the challenge reflection about how I was not sure how I would be able to pull of participating in the slice daily when I sometimes struggled with doing a weekly slice. But I did it.

I was energized and ready to go. If I was able to slice every day, surely there was no reason to miss the regular Tuesday slices during the year. And for a long time I continued to regularly slice.

Recently I have been in somewhat of a slicing slump - off and on, hit or miss. As I move into the home stretch of my pregnancy and think of all that will be going on to wrap up 3rd quarter at school, once again I find myself wondering how I will possibly slice every day. Will I stick to it when I am tired? Will I slice even when I don't think I have anything to slice about at the end of the day?

And yet, I know the answer. Yes, I will. Just like three years ago, I hope that I will slice every day for 31 days and at the end I will walk away with a renewed sense of energy to make slicing a part of my regular weekly routine, something I just. can't. miss.

31 days. So many possibilities.

  1. We started at the same time! Although my first year I was completely intimidated--way out of my league and I barely posted. Still, jumping in is the only way to do it. My life hasn't been the same since!

  2. I joined up the first year and had no idea what it meant to slice every day but I did it. I remember sitting in bed, early one morning, writing my slice. The reason I remember is that I was in Spokane for the weekend. My daughter's friends were giving her a bridal shower. It was a great slice weekend.
