30,000!

Hey, guys. I reached 30,000 pageviews on the blog today, so I just wanted to say thanks for reading!! Cheers! ;)

It's really rare for me to ever share any of these posts to Facebook -- I prefer to keep this audience a bit smaller and more intimate so I feel freedom to be more real. But on the flipside of that, I really do appreciate those of you who care enough to regularly check in here... it's so nice to feel like I'm not just talking to myself. ;-)

*Anyone not using their phone to read this will notice I changed up the layout yesterday... I'll likely go back to the other one in a month or two, but for now, it's fun having a new format and being able to scroll through past posts so quickly! The search bar at the top of it works better than ever before, and will immediately pull up a list of posts with whatever word you're searching for. Also, just FYI, there are 7 "dynamic views" that you can switch back and forth between at the top... my favorites are Flipcard, Magazine, and Timeslide (what it's on now).

And now, some parting "words of wisdom" quotes:
"The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the grandest intention!"  ~Oscar Wilde

"You are responsible for the energy that you create for yourself, and you’re responsible for the energy that you bring to others."  ~Oprah Winfrey

"When Jesus said to 'love your neighbor as yourself,' I don't think He meant judgmentally; but that is exactly how we treat our own souls, so it bleeds out to others. Folks who thrive in God's grace give grace easily, but the self-critical person becomes others-critical. We 'love' people the way we 'love' ourselves, and if we are not good enough, then no one is."  ~Jen Hatmaker, For the Love
