Hope-filled Sunday! Happy Sunday! Here’s some encouragement for your week. I’ve kept a gratitude journal for years. Each night, I write down at least three things from the day that I’m thankful for. Some days, it’s easy, and I even list more than three. Other times, it’s a bit more difficult, […]
Happy May! A Link-Up Party with A Chronic Voice I’m participating in the link-up party with A Chronic Voice, https://www.achronicvoice.com/, where we are given monthly writing prompts for a blog post.
