[unabashedly uncorked: your daily dose of EPH]

[this is a public service announcement]

well, not exactly; more like a curiosity poll and an FYI all rolled into one, seemingly rambling blog post

I digress…

Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent. For much of the Western World, Lent also brings with it fasting or giving up certain types of luxury as a form of penitence. Without getting too religious on you all, my beliefs are such that I participate in the Lenten season.

This year, instead of “giving up” something I adore [ice cream, shopping, booze] I have decided that I’m going to write. For the 40 days preceding Easter, I’m going to write a letter [note, poem, song, haiku] to someone or something that’s had a life changing, positive impact on who I am as a person. I’ll put those letters on here for you all to read [just in case you’re curious]. Some of these notes will be personal and have the name withheld for privacy, while others may be comical, funny and even light hearted. Come on- life isn’t always meant to be so serious!

Because truth be told, after these 40 days have come and gone [quickly as we all know they will], I’d rather leave a written impact to someone that may [or may not] stumble upon my words and know how much they have meant to me.

…after all, I don’t know anyone that doesn’t have “MAKE AN IMPACT” on their bucket list.

What are you all giving up for Lent?
