I have some exciting news to share!
I have been published in the summer issue of Artful Blogging magazine.
I was contacted over the winter {thank you lovely Jennifer Jackson} to contribute an article, and I was more than happy to oblige.
Ever since discovering this magazine and having long sit downs with it over lattes at the bookstore, I have secretly wished to be in it. Artful Blogging must have read my mind - because they made that dream come true.
And it is such an honor to be published among several other bloggers whom I admire.
I didn't share more than a sneak peek. The issue doesn't hit the stands until May 1st.
In my article, I share something very personal that changed my life for the better.
It is such a beautiful issue &this time around they have added international bloggers. Thank you, Artful Blogging & thank you to my readers for your support & friendship! It means so much to me.
Linking up my Iris's with Photo Feature Friday @ A Rosy Note

Congratulations. I will have to check out the new issue.
