About the Challenge

It's all about taking The Joy Dare in 2013.  I was exploring Anne's website A Holy Experience when I discovered The Joy Dare.  This is year two of the dare and I decided on the 2 March to join in and experience this life change for myself that so many are talking about.

Ann says

Joy is a function of gratitude — 

and gratitude is a function of perspective. 

So take the Joy Dare prompts 

to help you see & change perspective 

— give thanks 

— & live all His joy!

How does it Work?
Each day Ann shares a scavenger hunt for you to seek your own three gifts in the every day ordinary around you.

How do you know what they are ?
You can find a list of the dare on

1. The Monthly Challenge page
2. Download the year's worth of scavenger hunt challenges are over at A Holy Experience.
3. Daily (Lord willing) on Ann's personal Facebook page
4. Over on the One Thousand Gifts Facebook page

Do I have to list gifts under those categories ?
No you do not.  It's totally up to you. All you have to do is start your list and complete your list of 1 000 gifts in 2013. That is an average of three things to be thankful for each day.

 How can you record your own gifts ?

1. Use any book to journal your 1 000 gifts.
2. Make a special journal with FREE pdf printables from A Holy Experience. Scroll down to Joy in a Box to find the link: Download the Complete Collection of free beautiful Joy printables.

7. Create a blog and record your gifts and then pop on over to A Holy Experience and link up.
