Thank You, Artful Blogging

There is something about seeing your own photos and words in print that cannot be explained. Years of sharing my heart with all of you, sort of "condensed" into a few pages of a beautiful magazine. I was included in the latest issue of this wonderful publication, and I have to say that it was one of the harder things for me to do. The words flowed freely as I wrote the article, but I needed to share intimate thoughts on my life and health.









Artful Blogging is more than pretty pictures,
 it takes a look into the soul of the blogger.


Life is rarely "easy", 
but it's how we walk the road that makes the difference.

Thank you, Kerryanne,
 for featuring my home at Christmas!



Hope you're having a wonderful Sunday,
xoxo,

I am heading right to Barnes and Noble today and getting a copy of that... you are the most deserving lady in all of blogland... your posts are sincere and heartwarming and you are kind to all... you have made such an impact in my life, and more than once have encouraged me to continue on with my own blog, despite some of the problems I have had... here's wishing your health is improving each and every day... through it all, you keep a positive attitude and your faith in God, which I so admire in you... much love, xoxo Julie Marie PS I see a kitty cat in there!...
