On April 1st I announced that I was going to participate in WEGO Health’s Health Activist Writer’s Month Challenge.
The challenge was to write health-focused posts throughout the month of April and was open to anyone who wanted to participate (no compensation or incentives were offered or accepted).
I was excited to join in the writing fun and get some outside inspiration for post topics (WEGO provided prompts for each post).
In case you missed ’em, here are my posts from the challenge.
What to you see as the future of health?
Quote inspiration; find a quote that inspires you and write about it.
If you were a superhero, what would your power be?
What would you like to tell your 16 year old self?
Write about fears that you have overcome in your life.
Post your schedule for the day.
Make a list of 10 items you wouldn’t want to live without.
Make a health focus board on Pinterest.
Open a book, read a passage, write a post.
Write about 5 small challenges and how you overcame them.
The challenge was to write 28 posts over 30 days.
I wrote 12.
Fail?
Nah. My glass is usually half full (except for when it’s empty).
I had a good time with this project and I was definitely challenged as a writer, as a blogger, and as a health activist.
I was also reminded that follow-through is not my strong suit. Something to work on…
Ooh – I didnt realise you had also taken part – I cant wait to go back and read your posts!
I was also NOT 100% on the commitment. But some of the prompts were a little lacking to be honest.
However, what Im extremely unimpressed with is how I TOTALLY failed to use the challenge to connect with other people. Im not sure I did one single hash tag tweet.THIS is why I should probably NOT have my own business in the future. 🙂
Anyways – big congrats on the posts you DID do! Have a great week! xox
I slacked on the connecting aspect too BUT I did find your blog through the HAWMC! I’m kind of a failure at social media in general and this challenge just reinforced that, it’s just SO much to keep up with!
I definitely enjoyed reading your HAWMC posts!
I would be happy with 12 too! Often it’s more about the process than the product… although sometimes that gets difficult in such a product-oriented/results-oriented culture. I enjoyed your posts!
Thanks Mia!
Hi Faith,
Really enjoy your blog! The meal looks fabulous and I was wondering if you have a recipe for
your crust and the filling that you would share? Thanks! Jonna
Thanks!
You are talking about the quiche, right?
My friend made the crust and it was a basic pastry crust with whole wheat flour, butter, salt, and cold water mixed together in the food processor. She didn’t measure but it was a little lighter on the fat than most because it wasn’t flaky.
I made the filling and it was a ton of eggs whisked with a little unsweetened soy milk (because that’s what we had). Into the eggs I also added a lot of chopped raw spinach, chopped red pepper, some grated Dubliner cheese, salt and pepper. I sauteed some potatoes and chives until al dente and layered them on the bottom on the crust. I poured the eggs on top of the crust and potatoes then placed asparagus spears and more chopped red pepper and cheese on top. It took a long time to bake (we were hungry!) but we just kept checking the center to see if it was still jiggly and took it out once it firmed.
Hope that helps!
Faith
Yes, Thank you!
