artful blogging, lisa leonard & a giveaway!!!

sometimes an email can be just a sweet & special

as a hand written note

such was the case several months ago

upon receiving a note from Kellene Giloff

Kellene is the president of Stampington & Company

& the publisher of Somerset Studio

the note from Kellene was so warm & thoughtful

it was as if we already knew each other

i felt like i was sitting across from her sipping coffee

one of the things Kellene shared with me was that she would be submitting

my blog to the editors at Artful Blogging

i am so tickled & completely humbled to tell you

that i am in the current spring issue!!

here is a little blip from my article~~

Some days I feel very introspective. I find myself eagerly awaiting the moment when I can sit quietly at the computer, when my simple thoughts take form, take on life, & roll seamlessly onto the keyboard. I enjoy the stretching & growing involved as I discover this “me” that is often buried behind a ponytail wearing, carpool driving, menu planning, laundry keeper. The “me” that never knew I enjoyed writing. The “me” that has finds peace in putting my heart out there. The “me” that chooses to be held accountable as I express my commitment to invest in my children. It’s in those rare moments where this girl who is seldom eloquent, finds an actual comfort and security in her own written words.

one of the things i was so tickled to see was that lisa leonard was also in the same issue

i love lisa's huge, full of unconditional love, mommy heart

lisa has a tender & transparent spirit
