It’s February! The month of Love. I am happy to participate in the #LoveMe Challenge with Pepper from the blog Pepper Scrapps. Each day for the month of February there is a different focus all designed to help you love yourself more. I will be posting daily for the #LoveMe Challenge either here on the blog or on the Chasing Joy Facebook Page.
On Saturday I posted on the Facebook Page explaining why I was joining the challenge. A challenge designed to make you love yourself more certainly will bring more Joy. Also, I like the timing of the challenge. This challenge is a great way for me to be in the Valentine’s Day spirit and show myself some love all month long

Yesterday’s task was to post a photo of myself. I posted the following photo on the Facebook Page because I liked the color I was wearing and I was feeling happy and good about myself in the photo .

Today’s Post on the challenge is A Word That Describes You.
It is not easy choosing a single word that describes me. Several words come to mind. Joyful, sometimes, but not often enough, I am Chasing Joy after all. Confident, not as much as I’d like to be, that’s why its my word for this year. Daughter, Sister, Aunt, Blogger, Employee, Friend, yes, I am all of these things, but I like to think there is more to me than any one of those titles.
The word that I have decided on is Growing. I like learning new things. I like challenging myself to improve. I like finding better ways to handle situations and people. I enjoy conferences, seminars, and info sessions on wellness. I want to improve in all areas of my life. I want to keep growing. I think it it learning new things and having new experiences that keeps us young and engaged in life. There is a reason I am Chasing Joy. Not because I believe I’ll never catch it and will inevitable be Chasing it. I am Chasing Joy because I believe as I grow I will be able to capture better and better qualities of it. It is by growing into a better, healthier, and happier person that I embrace Chasing Joy.
The one word that describes me for the #LoveMe Challenge is Growing! What is one word that would describe you?
I've finally made it here, and what a pleasant surprise! It was great meeting you a few weeks ago! Nice concept for Valentine's day. Self love is so forgotten during this month. I'm late, but I believe I will start today!
Interesting idea … #Loveme. I had been thinking Valentine's Day post, but this is an equally if not even MORE important love. I might see about working this into my posts 😉
You've chosen a rich word, Growing. Many implications and nuances. Great attitude.
My word would be resilient, I think it's similar to your idea of positive change only for me it includes the capacity to recover and to endure.
Good luck! Thanks for sharing.
Oh my gosh, I love, love, love your word. I'm borrowing it for my word of the year. It might be my word for the next decade. I also like your project and it is so perfect for February which can be such a dismal month. Good luck.
