For those of you who have just started to follow Bliss Habits (Thank you for that!!!) and for my long time readers, I thought it would be good to let you know the upcoming schedule.
I have a couple of new features this time out and I’m also giving myself permission to go off topic from time to time, although generally I plan to stick to the weekly topics. Here’s what you can expect:
Weekly Schedule
On Mondays I will continue to kick things off with some inspiration. January Handl will share a poem and Tamara Magnitsky will offer a thought provoking image to start us off. I will provide some commentary and offer at least one tip or idea which I call a “Bliss Initiative” that you can take into your life to encourage some everyday bliss.
On Tuesdays Chel Micheline is with us, offering her very wise perspectives. For this Habit round, Chel has created a creative challenge to accompany our habits, a kind of Summer Camp for your Inner Child! Click on the image below for all the details:
On Wednesdays we’ll be introducing a new series: Living Bliss with Lorraine. Living Bliss is a jump-in-with-both-feet look at where Life bumps into the “work, live, play” of the every day. There is no separation in the end. From a deeper dive into the ordinary comes the extraordinary we search for.
On Thursdays I plan to host guest bloggers and/or wax philosophically on the topic myself!
On Fridays Linda Adsetts is with us, sharing her personal insights as well as channelled guidance and inspiration from a gathering of souls she calls The Group.
Saturdays I host my weekend blog Party in which I share other people’s topical posts and invite you to share yours too. This feature is called “Speaking of…” and I do hope you’ll stop by to share with us!
Sundays are unscheduled but may be used when I have just one more thing to say!

So, if you would like to join me in cultivating Bliss Habits, you can do so by
- playing along with the “Bliss Initiatives”
- creating your own games and initiatives
- joining in on the companion Facebook discussions
- and/or following along
I would love it if you joined me in making Bliss a Habit.
Also, if you are an artist, blogger, writer, lover of life who has something that would contribute to one or more of the Bliss Virtues and you would like to share your craft and point of view as a guest of this blog please let me know.
I am eager to make Bliss Habits a sharing and collaborative space for all Blissful pursuits!
Outrageous joy,
Kathy
