Happy February and Happy Black History Month!

I love this month for many reasons – one being – My Birthday is this month!

I just wanted to stop by and say I plan on doing 35 fun things this month for this BIG 35^th year!!! I will share pics and details about my #35thingsfor35 at the end of the month.

Starting with my first of 35 things– my donation to:

THE BIRTHDAY PARTY PROJECT

(www.thebirthdaypartyproject.org)

#tbpp turned 6 this year and had a big party at The Bomb Factory (in Dallas – hate I was not there) to celebrate. Just wanted to show you that I kept my word and made my $35.00 donation – if you feel so led feel free to make a donation of any amount – stop by their website – get their email updates – or even volunteer if they are in a city near you!

Have a wonderful day!!!

I am excited about life! I am filled with Hope. I am overwhelmed with JOY!

I am going to do my best to live by the ‘Glad Texts’ (one of my favorites is–Psalms 98:4) — Did you know that there are over 800 Glad Texts in the Bible?!?! More than one for each day of the year for me to live by.
