A year ago I started a monthly series on this blog, The Life Enthusiast Chronicles, an inspirational project where I asked awesome humans from around the world to answer one simple, yet poignant question.
What makes you enthusiastic about life?
The Life Enthusiast Chronicles has gone above and beyond what I could have ever imagined. This project has had a positive rippling effect throughout the blogging community and beyond.
So I have decided to continue the series as long as the inspiration is still humming along.
Today I’d like to celebrate the one year anniversary with you all in this special video I put together. Not only is it an inside look into how the series began, it is also a loving thank you to the 11 wonderful people who contributed their beautiful words to the series this past year.
Please enjoy…
Britt Skrabanek 
Lovely idea, Britt. 🙂
Thanks, cutie pie! Remember, my offer still stands anytime if you want to enthuse it up on the Chronicles. 🙂
Thank you. 🙂
What a wonderful video! I’m so honored to be among the first 11 and loved the way you put this together. Do more vlogs! It’s nice to hear your actual voice… though it always shines through your words as well. 🙂
Thanks, honey! It was an honor to have you as a Life Enthusiast.
You all had some fabulous quotes to play with, so you made it easy on me. I enjoy doing vlogs, but they are more time-consuming than written posts, for sure! I’ll see what I can do in the future. 🙂
So honored to have been a part of this series, Britt. I love this video that you put together. Your blog is a place where we feel comfortable to be free to write outside of what we normally do- you’ve created that atmosphere through your subject matter and tone.
Looking forward to more Chronicles!
Awesome to have you, darling! Wow…thank you so much. That is beyond cool.
I’m stoked to keep the Chronicles going! I have a couple of gems lined up to kick us off.
You’ve started something that may be bigger than you know, Britt. Life needs enthusiasm.
Aw, that’s really neat to hear, Dannie. I agree that we need to remember enthusiasm on a regular basis. Super important!
Aww, this is so lovely. It was such a pleasure to be part of your series; to have this special anniversary wrap-up is the icing on the cake. Yay for life! Yay for enthusiam! And I love the juxtaposition of your kind, sunny self against the stormy background; beaming sunshine onto our screens.
Yay! And your quote was too perfect for the ending. More yay!!!
Sunny self…you are a doll! Thank you.
It was a bit dark that day, but I did my best to make it work. I only film when I have the apartment to myself, because it’s embarrassing enough doing these videos in front of the cats. I suppose vlogging is another SSB of mine! 🙂
You have a lovely voice; more vlogging would be appreciated.
LOL, thank you! I write much better than I speak, so blogs are definitely easier for me. 🙂
Wow 🙂 This actually brought a lump to my throat to hear all those powerful quotes put together. It’s so interesting to hear how it started so humbly because I know that I was absolutely thrilled to be asked to take part in something so inspiring.
Oh, good! I thought it was just me that felt that way. When I replayed the finished version, I got all teary-eyed. I’m so glad you brought us your beautiful words.
This is absolutely beautiful, Britt. All those fantastic quotes together made me a little teary. You really are a gorgeous human being 😀
Oh, good! I’m glad I’m not the only one that cried. 🙂
Right back at ya, gorgeous human!
Sweet video, Britt! I need these reminders midst all the running to and fro and writing in the cracks between.
Thank ya, darling! We all need these reminders. It’s easy to get lost in the day-to-day shuffle.
Britt every one of those quotes made me smile. Such a beautiful message when life can get so challenging we need to stop, evaluate and be grateful for what we have. Thanks for highlighting all the talented souls you have met in this awesome community.
That’s awesome, Kath! Since starting the series, I have been reminded of how amazing life really is. It’s easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of the day-to-day. So important to stop and appreciate, as you know. 🙂
Oh Wow this is such a moving revelation! Did you ever dare to dream it would have such a deep impact Britt? Wonderful video and I’m so happy to have discovered you blog. Keep them comin’ those chronicles!
No, I didn’t dare. But that’s the beauty of bringing other voices together for a common purpose. You never know what can happen!
I’ll keep them Chronicles comin’! 🙂
What a wonderful way to celebrate the anniversary! I’ve really enjoyed the series, and I’m looking forward to seeing what the next year will bring.
Yay! I’m excited to see what the next Life Enthusiasts have in store for us.
What a great idea, Britt. I’m truly honored to have been a part of the series. I look forward to seeing more wonderful guest posts here.
Thanks, honey! It took me a while to put everything together, but it turned out nicely. Having you in the first group was beyond awesome.
