    I like this idea of creating a list of birthday wishes that came true! You have a great list of many amazing things in your life already. Btw, I just read your mission statement. Did you get to join twitter yet?? It's actually a lot of fun! I joined not too long ago! --jee young

    I just had to see this post after reading your new birthday wishes post. It was fun to see the constants as well as differences. I was thinking about how it would be fun to do this each year and be able to see shifts in your life. For example, you had "sleeping babies" here, which made me think about how your girls will probably always make the list but the aspects of what you enjoy with them will change as they grow.

An Interview with Educator/Momma/Writer Ruth Ayres Celebrating #EnticingWriters + Giveaway!

(p. 6) And she does this in an amazing way through sharing stories of her family, adoption, children living in hard places -- and doing their best  -- and healing.
