During the month of November I will be participating in National Blog Posting Month (NaBloPoMo). It is a challenge to bloggers to post something on their site every day during the month of November.
I thought I would take this challenge a step further and blog on a theme throughout the entire month. Since November is the month in which we celebrate Thanksgiving, I plan to write about one thing I am thankful for each day. Of course, I will still blog about other subjects as well. I wanted to be sure to put this commitment in writing so I won't weasel out!
Now I've actually got to come up with 30 things I'm thankful for...Why do I subject myself to these impossible challenges?!
Your Host, Gina

I want my readers to know...
I love to write thoughtful, carefully crafted stories about my life, memories and aspirations... “narrative non-fiction” is what that sort of writing is called.
One of those aspirations was to have a reason to write those stories, and a place for others to read them.
That is the primary reason this blog exists. It is my place to make available the stories that live within me. It is my intention for this blog to be a reflection of myself and my interests.
I write strictly for my own pleasure (and hopefully your reading enjoyment). I do not get paid to write anything that appears on this site!
It’s all me – all the time.
That is my full disclosure…
