07 Nov Invitation: Join My “This is How We Grow” Blog Hop!
An Invitation to YOU!
Join my This Is How We Grow Blog Hop!
(in honor of my new book, by the same name!)
Theme: “I choose to grow.”
I’ve certainly had my share of life challenges, many of which I share in my new memoir, This Is How We Grow. From death, loss, and grief, to postpartum depression, to relationship struggles and questioning self-worth, my life has presented me with many opportunities to grow.
It is a choice, you know. Growing. As I write in This is How We Grow, “Life changes are to be expected, aren’t they? Seasons change, years come and go, and so do we… As a wise person once said, ‘Life is change. Growth is optional. Choose wisely.’[1] I choose to grow. What will your choice be?”[2]
Join my This is How We Grow Blog Hop and share your “choose to grow” moments with the world, as we inspire and show one another the way. Please read the instructions, below, then hop on over to my blog on or after Saturday, November 9, and join us! Let’s show the world that we can and will choose to grow, no matter what life brings!
Please Join Us!
