This was a bit of an exciting week for a little wannabe writer (yours truly) who is stumbling around blindly, trying to forge herself a path into freelance work. What happened? Two articles selected for publication, that’s what!
One acceptance was in Bella Grace, a favorite magazine of mine. The articles in Bella Grace are beautifully written, thought provoking, and inspirational. It’s always an honor to see my words chosen for their pages, especially in The Cozy Issue :).

My Bella Grace article is called, “An Old-Fashioned Christmas: 25 Simple Ways to Celebrate,” and it’s packed full of low-expense, high-reward ways to make your Christmas celebration memorable.

The second acceptance was with Chicken Soup for the Soul! My story “My Photo-a-Day Transformation” was selected for the book Chicken Soup for the Soul: 101 Ways to Think Positive.
I’ll post a bit more about this article closer to the publication time, but here’s a sneak peek at the cover (which I love and find extremely fitting):

Thank you so much to every one of you who inspire me along this journey! You’re my treasure. ❤
