A Warm Farewell & a Parting Gift

I'm reminded of a lyric from a Boys II Men song.

​To paraphrase it, now that we've come to the end of the road, letting go of the Ultimate Blog Challenge (Spring edition) feels unnatural. Surely, we belong to each other by now. :)
​

But, First, an Announcement

Ladies and gentlemen, for the first time in a long, long, long, long time, I actually wrote, scheduled and published 30 POSTS!! Isn't that amazing?

Now, I wasn't able to post them all in the threads, because that would have meant reading and commenting on several posts and responding to comments, 30 days in a row. I quite frequently needed a spoonie break.

A spoonie is someone with a chronic illness, by the way, who receives a limited amount of spoons each day (energy) and cannot replace them if they run out. It's also usually a smaller set than most start the day with and pushing yourself can mean getting even more sick than usual.

But even though I didn't participate every day, I did publish a blog post every day! I am quite pleased with myself. :)

A Warm, Fond Farewell

I always get into such beautiful exchanges of thoughts, ideas, encouragement and support, that I'm reluctant to let that go when the challenge ends. I'm grateful, though, for the chance I get to practice articulating my point of view, and the time I spend connecting to my blogger friends more than we usually do.

What did you find most valuable about the challenge this month?

Your Parting Gift

Parting is such sweet sorrow. And there's also a gift.

I've decided that it's time for us to awaken (from winter hibernation) to more and deeper self-love. Toward that end, I've got a guided self-love meditation, no opt-in needed, just click on the link.

In my intro, I explain that I believe that the game we've been playing was rigged, and that that calls for even more self-love. You'll see what I mean when you get there.

Want to Stay Connected?

Tell me in a comment what you've got planned for next month's blog posts.

I'm hoping to start May off with a bang, and I've got guest posts from fellow blogger, Brenda Fluharty, a series next month called Mindful May, and more, beginning tomorrow. If you're going to be blogging, too, I'd love to support you.

What about you?

See you guys for the summer edition!

love, Jeanine
