Sunday Seven - 50th Edition

Welcome to Sunday Seven - Edition 50!

We are celebrating half a hundred editions of Sunday Seven this week!

I hope you will join us in writing a blogpost in appreciation of life. Here's how: Just write a post on your blog and link it here so we can all visit.

Your post can tell what has:

• made you smile
• touched your heart
• prompted you to say "thank you"
• made you appreciate your life even more?
  

Take time now for:

• -Reflecting on seven things you're grateful for or seven meaningful events from the past week;
• -Anticipating (and allowing us to anticipate vicariously) upcoming events on your horizon;
• -Celebrating steps of progress you've make toward a goal;
• -Recognizing acts of kindness you have observed or performed;
• -Requesting support for the week coming up;
• -letting us know what you're concerned about;
• -Inspiring and enlightening us-- if new understandings have come your way.

We invite you to link with each of us in sharing these joys, concerns, victories, or epiphanies.

Let's take our minds away, for a couple of days, from the task of just "making it through the day" and focus on inner growth, self-improvement, new understanding, and thankfulness. As a community, we can each take strength from each other and offer encouragement to others as we get to know each other better.

Sunday Seven - 42nd Edition (weekend of January 25-27)

Welcome to the 42nd edition of Sunday Seven. Since we didn't have a 41st edition posted here at the home page last week, I originally had this as week #41. However, some of you posted a SS last week. So I've changed it to week 42 to keep it accurate. WELCOME!

Here is your opportunity to end a week and begin the next by --

*Reflecting on things you're grateful for or meaningful events from the past week;
*Anticipating (and allowing us to anticipate vicariously) upcoming events on your horizon;
*Celebrating steps of progress you've make toward a goal;
*Recognizing acts of kindness you have observed or performed;
*Requesting support for the week coming up -- let us know what you're concerned about;
*Inspiring and enlightening us-- if new understandings have come your way.

Sunday Seven - 39th Edition

Happy Epiphany, Sunday Seveners!

The first Sunday in 2008 offers an opportunity for us to reflect on 2007. In what areas did my life meet its potential last year? How can I rearrange my priorities to make 2008 better? Here is your opportunity to end a week (and a year) and begin the next by --

• Reflecting on things you're grateful for or meaningful events from the past week;

Sunday Seven 15th Edition Is Now Open

I am reviewing my week and counting my blessings, and I know you are too. On this Mother's Day weekend, you might like to write about the joys of being a mother. Perhaps you'd like to recount things you learned from your mother. Or maybe you want to take some approach unrelated to the holiday. What are you thankful for? What blessings have you received? What blessings have you asked for? What events have occurred that you want to remember?

SUNDAY SEVEN can serve any of these purposes. Share your joys, your blessings and your burdens. Tell us what has been going on in your life this week.
