Each year, I enjoy having a project that will help prompt my blog posts and my Carpe Diem Lifestyle. In 2024, I decided the Alphabet provided just the right number of letters to have a year full of letter-based themed fun.
Every two weeks I use a letter of the alphabet to help provide prompts throughout the 2-week iteration.
Even though this sounds like an exercise from Kindergarten, I’m finding it unexpectedly fun. My 3 requirements: I use the theme letter to:
1) Go on at least one microadventure, creatively paying tribute to the celebrated letter
2) Spark conversation in the Facebook Carpe Diem Connections Group and
3) Write a blog post annoyingly full of alliteration.
Though I started out being embarrassed at this very simple-minded project, I’ve found that writing my letter-themed blog post has become an enjoyable creative writing exercise. I also really enjoy the Facebook banter and the theme-based microadventures.
This post is my “Master” post placeholder that I’ll continue to add to throughout the year. I’m hoping this will keep me motivated to finish through those tough letters that come at the end of the alphabet!
