What I promised to do for Lent: I promised myself to celebrate Lent through inspiration. My plan was to post (via Facebook and Twitter) a daily inspirational quote. Something that means something to me or has touched my heart, in the hopes that I could maybe touch someone else’s heart too.

Did I do it?
