It’s a new year which means a new “season”, new goals, new opportunities…just a whole lot of newness. I have declared 2015 “The Year of the Bling!”
By definition (if you count Wikipedia):
Bling (or bling-bling) is a slang term popularized in hip hop culture, referring to flashy, ostentatious, or elaborate jewelry and ornamented accessories that are carried, worn, or installed, such as cell phones or tooth caps.
Okay, that definition is hilarious and may be true, but what’s the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the word “bling”? My first thought: something shiny. My second thought: race bling. Think about it — bling is something beyond the definition listed above and definitely beyond a shiny, finishers’ medals. “Bling” is something that illuminates!
If you are a numbers person, then you know that 2+0+1+5 = 8. Eight is the number of new beginnings. If you’re not a numbers person and think I’m totally weird, that’s okay too — just know, I didn’t make this stuff up. Either way, this is the perfect year to let passions, gifts, dreams, etc. come to fruition. Wanna know why? Because God equipped us ALL with them! I’m so not a “deep” poster, but every now and then I’ll drop a nugget or two with “Chick-fil-A” sauce on the side. *sidebar* That is THE best condiment at Chick-fil-A, hands down! But seriously, I wanted to set the tone for the new year. I’m excited to see what great things are in store! There’s a big, bright shiny light on the inside of you AND me desperately wanting to shine through.
So…Bling-Bling On!

That is so cool! I had never thought of this year = 8, but 8 is my absolute favorite number. I was born on 8-8-88 and the 8’s don’t end there for me. They are always following me around. I am having my baby girl this year, so maybe it will be lucky for her as well! :) Happy New Year!
Wow! That is really cool that those numbers are always around. Congratulations, Logan!!!
Love this! Wonderful to think of this as the year of the bling.
Thank you, Trish!
What a wonderful perspective to share at the beginning of a year! I would have never added up the numbers in 2015 to get 8, but I love the symbolism of it.
Here’s to a BIG year with lots and lots of shine!
Thank you, Erin!!! Shine on!
love this post girl!! Bling on!!!
Yes! I agree wholeheartedly with you. I am claiming 2015 to be a great year for me, both personally & professionally. Thanks for being in agreement too!
