It's Friday and it's a long weekend - yay!
I am looking forward to relaxing over the next few days and getting some reading done.
What are your plans, sweet friends?
I wanted to write and say thank you, thank you, THANK YOU
for your loving support of my new store.
Each comment and email that I received blessed my heart
and encouraged me more than you'll ever know.
It's truly a wonderful thing to have friends backing you when you make a big decision in life.
There is always some doubt there in my mind when I create something,
but your words wiped that doubt away and inspired me to be strong :)
"If we wait until we're ready, we'll be waiting for the rest of our lives."
So glad I took the leap of faith - thank you for cheering me on!

There are so many more blogging friends that I could write about
and even if your name is not mentioned that doesn't mean you're not special to me.
Each one of you have made an impact in my life
I don't often mention people in my posts

and I just wanted to say you, sweet friends, have made a difference in my life.
May you be richly blessed!
