Hello OLW blog hoppers! It is the first of the month, so as most of you know, it is time for our monthly ONE LITTLE WORD Blog Hop!
For those of you who are new here, ONE LITTLE WORD is a class taught by Ali Edwards at Big Picture Classes. It is a year long class with monthly assignments and we check in each month with a blog hop and share our assignments and keep each other accountable since keeping up with a year long class is no easy task! It is this group that guarantees I finish my assignments each month.
I've posted some blog hop business at the end of this post, so be sure to read that before you move on.
APRIL OLW ASSIGNMENT
This month we were to write a letter to our present self and finish up the letter with a note to ourself a year in the future. My life is again in flux so it was a hard letter for me to write. And I didn't do a very good job or tying in my word: LOVINGKINDNESS into my letter.
To my future self:
And my self-portrait for the month:
Before I send you off to the next blog on the list, bear with me as I take care of some blog hop business:
UPDATE REGARDING REMINDER EMAIL, ETC.
I have made some changes in the way I do blog hop stuff recently and I wanted to spell out exactly what I am doing in case it has been confusing for any of you.
As a courtesy I will send out a REMINDER EMAIL during the last week of the month. This is to remind people to sign up as well as give those who signed up earlier in the month a chance to check for their name as well as the accuracy of their blog link. If you do not receive this reminder email with five days left in the month, please visit my blog and check the participant list linked on my sidebar to see if your name is on it OR EMAIL ME!
This REMINDER EMAIL is the ONLY email I will send out to our list each month. I am no longer sending out our final blog hop participant list via email. I was getting far too many bounced emails due to spam filters. Therefore, our list is now published on my blog. FINAL LIST WILL BE PUBLISHED 1-2 days before the blog hop. You can find the link to that list a ways down on my blog's sidebar (look to the right and scroll down) or in your REMINDER EMAIL.
When all else fails - EMAIL ME. Preferably 4 or 5 days before the blog hop! The sooner, the better!
If you miss any of the deadlines and don't find yoursself on the list, you are always welcome to link to your OLW blog post for the month in the comments. That even goes for today!
Ok, now on to some more amazing OLW inspiration...
Next on the blog hop is Monica.
