So in dreaming up a name for my new blogging adventure, I was inspired by a book I was reading last Advent. See that story here. It talked about when is the last time you were awestruck, and why we don't allow ourselves to be awestruck as much as we should.
Awestruck. Yes, please. I want to be in awe of my life more! I want to savor the simple joys.
My sisters have teased me forever about my obnoxious love of the word delightful. I may overuse it slightly. What can I say. I'm a lover of words and some words just speak to my soul.
So there I was with the gorgeousness of awestruck swirling in my head and a longtime love affair with delightful. As Winnie the Pooh would say, think, think, think.
In swoops my awesome friend Kara Fleck, who also is a lover of words. Probably why we're kindred spirits like that. You can find her great reads here. She is awesome, and I adore her. Plus she knows how to knit like a rockstar, and I only wish I knew how to knit.
Kara said well why don't you combine the words for a whole new word. Oh my gosh - the fireworks that went off in my head! A new chapter was born and a hashtag!
So what exactly will you find in this space? Pretty much the pursuit of joyful imperfect living. One Indiana mama trying her best to choose joy, chase delightstruck moments and count her blessings. A space where we celebrate milestones, savor the journey, be grateful and take everything at a Sunday's drive pace.
You may find our budget-friendly travel adventures from time to time, my wellness journey, a good read I've fallen in love with, our family shenanigans and of course lots of delightstruck moments. Oh and fall, you may find lots of fall, because it's my favorite season ever!
Pretty much I plan to celebrate the ordinary like it's going out of style, because friends, I'm so afraid it kind of is...
I encourage you to find your own everyday #delightstruck moments and share them with me @delightstruck_jen on instagram.
Here's one of my favorite recent #delightstruck moments. There is a hilarious story behind it for another day, but the moment almost didn't happen until I threw caution to the wind and just let them be.
