love for my followers! :)

Do you know how much it delights me to wake up every morning and do these things….

Pray/Thank God for the precious gift of another day
Read my devotional
Walk the dogs with Mom
Pour some coffee and…
READ BLOGS!

Y’all start out my morning with such enthusiasm, inspiration, and creativity.  I really don’t even know how to describe the mass amounts of joy I get from the blog community.  Do my “real-life friends” understand it?  Absolutely not.  It’s sort of how my high school years as a cross-country runner were… no one understood why I would RUN for FUN!  What Is it about those weird runner kids?...
You know what I mean.  So when I get to being ‘chatty Kathy’ with my “real-life friends” about my beloved blog, they always ask the same questions…

What do you mean your followers? My blog friends.
Who did you hear about that from? My blog friend.
How do you know someone that lives in THAT COUNTRY? They’re my blog friend.
What do you write about on your blog? Well, if you were my friend you would read it.  My blog friends do.  Annnnd, I pretty much write about the things that my blog friends inspire me to write about.  It’s sorta cool, we all give one another ideas and things to write about and play along with. 

Blog friends, blog friends, blog friends!!!

I love you all!!! All 100 of you!!! So cool how much love and support and prayer from all of you!  I look forward to getting to know you even better!

I’m excited to announce that I will be hosting my FIRST GIVEAWAY this week, so make sure you check back tomorrow or Friday for that!  Since most of you are freezing your booties off in the snowy weather, and I’m frolicking in the sunshine in Florida… the “theme” of this little giveaway will be a little SUNSHINE STATE style! 

No worries though… nothing from that monstrous tacky tourism store.  I’ve got better taste than that (usually at least!)

If you are having a GIVEAWAY right now or anytime soon, leave a comment below with a link to the giveaway post!
THANKS!

Peace and Love
Baily


dont forget to leave me some links to your awesome giveaway or to a friends awesome giveaway!

Blog reading is so inspirational. I usually start my day with a workout followed by blog reading. I am so glad you brought up the "blog friend"-> conversation with real friends, they never understand. do they? Congratulations on getting 100 followers beautiful :)
