a moment like this...

(image via weheartit)
I have been told before that I speak from the heart.
I think it's the nicest thing anyone has ever said.
This morning I woke up to an email that lifted me out of my whole funk.
I have been a little sad lately. I hate to admit.
I have been feeling that no matter how hard I work at ANYTHING, I am just going to fail.
What I forgot about was my FAITH.
My heart, my soul, and my drive.
All gifts from my Heavenly Father..
I wanted to take this moment to say that I am grateful.
For the life I have been given, and for the gifts I call my friends and family.
For the freedom of speech. For free will. For the beauty of humanity.
Give someone the chance to change your life, they will.
I am recently blown away by the gift of forgiveness and tenderness.

What are YOU grateful for bloggers??
I am grateful for YOU ♥
XOXO-
Shawni Marie

  12. ps. Also, I wanted to tell you that (since you are a follower of mine; was Love & Life now champagne wishes.) I have had some issues with my new blog set up, tried to create a new one under the same account with similar issues so I have created a new account under a new e-mail address & I wanted to make sure I tell all of my followers so if you follow me at http://melissa-champagnewishes.blogspot.com that would be so greatly appreciated! I will (when I get to it) unfollow you from my old account which I won't use anymore and re-follow you with my new one(this one)! Thanks again! Have a great week! xo melissa
