This month, we are celebrating the blog’s second anniversary. Funny how time moves along. When I started blogging, it was on a whim with no certain direction as to where I’d end up. I simply loved writing, learning, sharing and celebrating. And honestly, I’m not too far off from where I started. I still love writing (though more on some days than others). There is no question I still love celebrating, from everyday stuff to special occasions. And, I have learned so much! I’ve learned from you. I’ve learned about myself. And I know there is still much more to learn and discover.
Wherever we are coming from in life, we are all on a journey. I am grateful to the Lord that He has allowed our paths to cross. And I am so honored that you spend a little of your ever-so-valuable time with me. Thank you!
I also want to say how thankful I am that the Lord has given me this small space to write and blessed it in ways I couldn’t have imagined. He amazes me with His love and kindness! Special thanks also to my husband who is ever supportive and a loyal follower . . . he was an original subscriber :). Love you, Dan! And to my children, who give me so many reasons to celebrate.
So . . . as a small thank you (and because I think you’re wonderful), I thought we’d celebrate with a little giveaway. Of course, one of my favorite things to giveaway is an Amazon gift card. Enter below to win a $50 Amazon gift card and get extra entries if you follow the blog in various ways.
