A year ago I started this blog, initially as a way to get my work out there, to test the waters & see how it might be received, if at all...a year down the track & it's not about my work, in fact it hardly ever was. What I discovered was so much more than that. A world of the most incredible, inspiring, talented & lovely people opened up to me and I am soooo grateful...
I love that I can jot down incidental things of day to day life, massively frightening things that we don't know how we are ever going to get through, challenging times, fun times, milestones, just to name a few...I write it down & it's out there for all to see, but what is astounding, is that people read it & respond with such encouragement, support, a friendly word & very sound advice...
I love it & I truly appreciate it and in return I'd like to offer a little giveaway...
Simply be a follower of my blog & leave a comment on this post to go into the draw. I'll do it the good ol' fashioned way & pull one of your lucky names out of a hat, or box or something in a week's time...
Good luck to you all lovely friends & thank you!
I'm a follower. Please count me in:)
