Thank you

Six years ago I set out to get to know myself better—to find out who I was, as well as who I was becoming—through fun weekly challenges I called “Nudges.” To hold myself accountable, I posted each Nudging, then followed up with “What Happened” and any “Ah-Hahs” that came to me.

This past week, I completed my last public Nudge.

I am not stopping Nudging. In fact, this is a practice I hope to continue doing for the rest of my days. I’m just stopping all the work that goes into running and maintaining a blog, to open up space for new creative endeavors. And I’m excited to see what this might be.

I want to take this opportunity to thank the many good people who have been part of the 52Nudges community:

• Our wise and wonderful Guest Nudgers
• Inspiring women who allowed me to share their stories in interviews
• Close friends who supported and brainstormed with me from “How do I start a blog?” to “How do I graciously wrap up a blog?”
• My sister, dogs, and friends who partnered with me to complete Nudges
• Thor, always, for being on board with my “crazy” ideas
• And you, for reading, commenting, suggesting ideas, offering support when Life hit hard, and celebrating all the wins with me

This site and the posts will stay up for a while, and I invite you to explore and revisit at your leisure. You might check out these popular posts, which have been especially meaningful to me:

• Radical self-care: Take a Mental Health Day
• Delighting my senses: Use the Good Stuff
• Noticing: Practice noticing
• Clarifying what is really FUN for me: Pull out the French flash cards
• A Nudge that surprised me (when I looked at it from a different angle): Plant something
• Discovering/uncovering the real wonderful me: Pick an affirmation and work it to fruition

I will miss 52Nudges…and I’m ready to release it. I’d love it if you’d keep in touch, which you can do by friending/following me on Facebook and/or Instagram. You can also keep an eye on Kathleen-Ink.com and KathleenGuthrieWoods.com.

Thank you for joining me on this extraordinary 52Nudges adventure.

With love and lots and lots of ladybugs,

Kathleen
