TEACH. and LOVE.

Photobucket

Photobucket

You know what time it is!
Weekly SHINE Challenge time...
This week has the potential to inspire MANY lives.
Not just yours, but those you will be teaching.
All of us have unique talents, traits, and knowledge
that can bless and strengthen the lives of those
we come in contact with.
How often do we share them?

This week, we are going to TEACH SOMEONE SOMETHING.
It can be a kid, neighbor, friend, aquaintance, ANYONE.
What can you teach?
The options are endless, really.
Teach a kid to tie their shoe,
a new word or song.
Teach someone a recipe, craft, or decorating technique
that you excel at.
Teach how to love, serve, give, or perform.

When we teach others,
our love for them grows,
and we all learn from eachother.
Send your love letter to the world,
and make a little difference.
Don't forget to email me your results at ashley.theshineproject@gmail.com
By the way, do you love that necklace I'm wearing in the pictures?
Well, then you will die for the GIVEAWAY tomorrow...
its from the same wonderful creator.
Now for some business:
GRETA LARSEN, you have won the Just.Lovely.Things giveaway!
Send me your info ASAP! CONGRATS!
I'm also going to start writing for a couple of websites..
The first one, Living Graciously,
is kicking off this week with a fab giveaway!
So head over to
and see yours truely, amoungst other AMAZING women!

Shall have to think on this one. I guess what I try to teach each and every day is to stop the hate,stop the negativity and stay positive, put out a beautiful light and let it shine onto others lives in example. Also to never give up and find laughter through the tears. Some tell me it is helping and working.So will continue with it.

Alisha said...

Hugs!
