The first time I made a love list, it was very important to me to create a physical object. Even though what I was doing — building a new life after a divorce — felt deeply serious, it mattered to me not to try to think or control my way toward the new future I had to build on my own. I wanted to feel my way toward it, to let my heart find the path. I wanted to invite my more creative side out to play. 
So, I taped some sheets of paper together to make a poster-sized canvas and stuck it to my pantry door where I would see it every morning while I made breakfast. Nearby, I kept a box of crayons. As I cooked, I would add items to the love list as inspiration struck. It was an art project, something that engaged my heart, and I am glad that I let that first list be a physical object rather than a file on my computer or even a page in my journal. 
There's no wrong way to make a list, of course. I now keep a list in a notebook, where only I can see it. I'm very glad love lists are being made here in Halfway to Normal land and on Twitter! But I encourage people also to make an art object, a physical thing. Go on and have yourself a creative outburst. Paint your list on your walls if you have to! There's something powerful to the act of making. It can help you affirm the commitment to loving your life.
