Accepting A Challenge {Giving Thanks Challenge}

Last October (2011) I somehow came across Leah @ South Breeze Farm who was hosting a 30 Day Challenge called The Giving Thanks Challenge. I jumped in, feet first and I want to tell you that first 30 Day challenge somehow set the pace for my blogging ever after! Thereafter it seemed difficult not to post daily on my blog. The practice of both writing to publish daily and the topic of thanksgiving jet propelled me into a surprisingly joyful state in my writing life. It also did become my own new blogging standard. Prior to that I posted regularly but not daily (If that is saying much being all of 6 months into the Blogging world at the time!). I think the momentum of this was great for my blog, creativity, writing practice and new inspiration did find me daily. Below are the 27 posts that found their way into the Blogosphere last November (2011). I don’t expect you to read them all, but just in case a certain title strikes you go on and read it. 

Otherwise, I wanted to just share with you the blessing of accepting a challenge, jumping in and seeing where it leads you! This year I participated in another challenge and The 31 Days of Faith Life Preservers was born. I wrote them while battling discouragement in my own walk of faith. So, don’t wait for perfect circumstances! Jump in somewhere for a challenge or start your own! We all have something to share.
