The story: A-Z Challenge reflection

Posted by Claudia Moser on 10:29 AM in A-Z Challenge, ABC, Happiness

May 2012, one week after finalising the A-Z Challenge and I must admit I am sad, it was so much fun and I do believe that my approach with the ABC Happiness Guide was a good theme.

The organisers did think of all of us who did manage to reach the Z and issued this badge, pretty cool right?

And since this is a reflection some of the things I thought might be interesting:

Top 3 comments per post

L - Laugh, Love, Learn to Let go

E - Exercise daily, Eat fresh foods

T - Take power naps, Talk wisely

My favourite 3 posts, strangely enough the ABC ones

A - Accept your reality

B - Be present, Be bold

C - Create something exciting

April 2012 was the best month ever in the life span of my blog with 4.357 hits plus 32 new followers, wow! I am so humbled by your presence, comments, support and constant care, THANK YOU!

And to end my ABC Happiness Guide in one overview

Picture from here

Motto

"A story is not like a road to follow … it's more like a house. You go inside and stay there for a while, wandering back and forth and settling where you like and discovering how the room and corridors relate to each other, how the world outside is altered by being viewed from these windows. And you, the visitor, the reader, are altered as well by being in this enclosed space, whether it is ample and easy or full of crooked turns, or sparsely or opulently furnished. You can go back again and again, and the house, the story, always contains more than you saw the last time. It also has a sturdy sense of itself of being built out of its own necessity, not just to shelter or beguile you."
