I have this amazing husband who encourages me to shine and to go after my dreams. I desire, for my blog, to help people realize just how valuable and precious they are and that they are a dream come true to God.

~If you had only 1 wish, what would it be and why? It would be that we would see people through Jesus' eyes. Because all the rest of the "stuff" would work itself out if we looked at people that way.

~What's your favorite thing about blogging? Receiving wonderful comments from the most amazing people who read my blog.

~What do you think makes for a successful blog? In order to be successful, you have to write about things that grab the attention of the reader. I don't "sell" anything on my blog, so I have to write about struggles and issues that I have in life that I think others are dealing with. You must be genuine and real.

~What's 1 blog (besides yours) that you think everyone should check out? I Live in an Antbed http://www.iliveinanantbed.blogspot.com/
