One year ago today I began this blog with fear and nervousness. Fear of others’ thoughts of what I wrote had always been kept hidden, and the unwritten word almost always remained as treasures on a notepad within my mind. Nervousness because I am so OCD when written/typed measures are taken that display details of my life.

This year I have been learning to capture my special life moments by writing about them in such a way that one might have a glimpse into how each event shaped my life this year. From my quest to overcome this writing fear, the death of a close friend, a renewing of a special friendship, the love for my parents to the ultimate love of my life – my husband…I believe that God has truly blessed me through this blog and made me realize that written words are to be treasured as past reflections of an emotional surge and that the words are strength in life.

Most important is the amazing agape love that I receive each and every day from my friends. One friend in particular I will always “Thank”. She is the very reason that I began this journey of blogging.

~W~…….these songs are for you!!!


"A friend is one who strengthens you with prayers,
blesses you with love and
encourages you with hope."
