Fondue Month! #AtoZChallenge

It's Fondue Month!

I love fondue. There's a restaurant we like to go to called The Melting Pot. When one opened within an hour of my house, I knew it would be my go-to celebration location! It's expensive, but it's worth the experience. From dipping fruit and veggies and bread into cheese, to delicious salads, to cooking meat and veggies in the fondue pot, to dipping decadent desserts into delicious chocolate, it's always a good time!

What is your favorite food experience? Tell us in the comments!

Also, if you haven't started thinking of your A to Z Blog theme, April is just around the corner!

Be On-Purpose

January is National 'Be On-Purpose' month. It's a reminder of the importance of intentional living. Living with purpose doesn't just happen. Good intentions and goals need to be put into action.

It's recommended that those who desire to succeed start by defining what success looks like to them, then making a plan to achieve that success, and then having a backup plan in case everything goes wrong, and finally, putting a support system in place (such as a friend who is encouraging and checks on progress, perhaps even brainstorms with them if they get stuck).

How could you create positive change to achieve your blogging goals this year? What good intentions can you put into action to meet those goals? Perhaps, reevaluate the purpose of your blog to see if you're setting yourself up for success. Knowing your purpose can help motivate you to create new and interesting posts. How does your blog benefit you, your immediate circle of people, the blogging community, and the world?

Books Make Great Gifts Month

Or maybe I think that because I’m a bookworm. LOL.

Some of the greatest gifts I’ve received throughout my life are books. Specifically, books that showed that the person behind the gift knew me well enough to choose the right topic when they bought the book.

This is the time of year when people normally exchange gifts (though books make great gifts year-round!). Compared to other things, say those snazzy noise-cancelling headphones, books are an inexpensive gift. You can buy an entire twelve book series in paperback and have change left over instead of buying those headphones…

Am I pushing books too much?

Reading is good for you!

· Improves sleep.
· Reduces stress.
· Improves memory.
· Develops and increases empathy.
· Increases vocabulary.
· Improves writing skills.
· Boosts imagination.
· Exercises your brain.
· Expands your knowledge.
· Enhances imagination.

There are many more benefits from reading for pleasure than all this and for your mental health and overall wellbeing.

Give reading a chance.

So where can you get books? Well, you can give a loved-one a library card (help them get theirs from their local library) so they can access all the books (physical and digital) their library offers. You can get them a subscription from a service like Kobo Plus (eBooks and audiobooks). Or you can buy them books (eBooks, audiobooks, paperbacks, hardbacks, special editions – the choices are only limited by your imagination). You can buy books online, in bookstores, or directly from authors (from their websites or a Kickstarter campaign).
