Lent projects are the Spring Cleaning of my Soul.

Every day for the days of Lent, I’m to post a reflection about how I’m trying to make myself a better person. The three pillars of Lent are prayer, almsgiving, and fasting, so I use those as the basis of my reflections. 2019 was the first year I added a Lent project to the Swearyverse. I did it for years on Facebook before this, but now I have a proper home for this practice of reflection.
