The Wednesday Challenge ~ One Letter

Here is the challenge I've been waiting to share with all of you!
 This is a new and very exciting kind of challenge that will be taking place here on this little blog each Wednesday!
The story behind the idea:
There are so many reasons why I could say that I love blogging.  It has definitely been a great way to connect with the creative side, a side that so many women enjoy sharing with one another!
I love the stories we write, the pictures we post and connections we make.
Not to mention what an incredible outlet this has been for staying in touch with family and friends.


And it's true, I would sincerely love to meet each of you in person. 
I've already been very blessed to have made connections with "new friends" that have extended beyond
the blogging world and into a more personal friendship and this has been wonderful!


 But I've been wondering, how do I use blogging to challenge myself and those around me??? This is where I've been thinking ..."I really want this blog to grow and go deeper, to help develop my character and become a place where I can be challenged and challenge others as well.  So, why not do this together!?!"

And this is where the Wednesday challenge comes in!!!!  Are you ready?!?!?

There will be a new little challenge that I'll share with you every Wednesday morning.  Feel free to leave a comment about how you are planning on joining in on the challenge, this way it will help you (and ME :) stay committed to our challenge throughout the day!

This Wednesday's challenge is to sit down today *note the key word "today"* and write a letter to one person in your life that you haven't written to in quite a while.
This should be someone you would like to see yourself re-connect with, someone who you know would be thrilled to hear from you, or someone who you know that could simply use a thoughtful note!
It doesn't have to be long, just a kind and thoughtful gesture.
This is our challenge for today!!!

I will be writing a letter to my "grandma Lil".  She isn't my grandma at all, she used to be our family doctor's secretary.  As a child, she use to let me and all my siblings each pull out a whole pack of gum from her pocket every time my family would visit the doctor.  She is the sweetest lady who is now in her 90s and still signs her name "grandma Lil" in every birthday card she sends.  And by every birthday card she sends, I'm talking every single year since we came to know her as a friend.  What an example of love and faithfulness!  =)

So grab a card, take it to work and write someone a note during your lunch break!
You will make someone's day.

By no means do you have to, but feel free to leave a comment below sharing who you will be writing a letter to today!
Good luck with this first challenge. =)
