Just Doing Some Cleaning Up Around Here

 Hello friends 😊

I know some of you have noticed that my blog has been missing for the past week, while I was also taking a break from social media. 

Sometimes it's good to step away, turn it all off and think about what and where you want to spend your time and energy. That's what I've been doing lately.

With all the noise in the world, I want to write things that matter. Things that are worth other people's time, as well as mine.

With that said...I've been cleaning up some of my old posts, deleting some that don't need to be here and will probably delete more in the future. 

I'm not really one to look back on what I did from year to year. I'm more of a write from the heart, in the moment, so if I'm going to collect stories, that's what I have to share in this space. 

I hope you won't mind that things might look different. And some days they may look just the same 😊

Either way...as always...I'm glad to be here.

Until Next Time...

Blessings! 

You Are Loved

Good morning my friends!

As I was having my coffee this morning and reading the thoughts of my fellow bloggers, it just hit me, how special this community is. I mean, we are friends, are we not? 

We share stories of life and faith, household victories, as well as drama. We cheer each other on and pray for one another frequently. If that doesn't define friendship, I don't know what does.  

We may not be able to physically sit on the porch to have our coffee, but we do gather in the same places each day and tell our stories. 

We share recipes, hopes, tips and tricks. We navigate hard times with one another and celebrate the good.

When one of us is missing for a while, we ask around, check on one another and show genuine care.

Sometimes this is more than what real-life friends do!

We grieve with one another and rejoice in the good. We offer advice and knowledge and fill each other in on what works for us. We exchange information and receive it, as well. It's a good give-and-take.

Friendship is about love and concern. It's about showing up with the ice cream when things are tough. It's about stepping in when someone needs a hand. And even though we may not be able to do those things in person, we're really good at doing it emotionally for one another. 

So, if we are blogging friends, just know that you are valuable to me. I'm praying when you need it. I'm giving the hugs in the comments I leave and checking in on you when you're gone too long. And I've felt all of that from you, as well. 

Here's to building communities of love and faith and showing up. 

You are loved 💜

Until Next Time...

Blessings!
