I would like to send a Happy Birthday Shout Out today to my all time BFF Renata (frequent reader of this blog). She is the best and I hope her day was as special as she is to so many of us! Love Ya girl! Here is a fave snap of the two of us from a couple of years ago...
I read a wonderful book over the weekend that I wanted to recommend to my blogger pals. It's called Christmas Jars by Jason F. Wright. I saw him on Glenn Beck on CNN when I was channel surfing a couple of weeks ago, he was talking about his new book The Wednesday Letters (I have it on order from the local library). This book is a compelling story about family (how they come in all different forms) and the lessons learned through giving (by both the giver and receiver). If you are a generous and caring person who enjoys to help others, you will feel inspired to take action personally as those in this book did. It describes a heartfelt tradition begun at Christmas, but the lessons learned apply all year long. I know that I started our 1st Christmas jar when I finished the book and hope you do too. Please let me know what you think if you have read or do read this book, I'm interested in your feedback. Also, would anyone out there like to start or participate in a "blogger book club" We could pick a book and assign a due date to have it read and take turns hosting blog chats about it...sound good to anyone?
