Joy Rebel Day: new beginnings

In honor of a very special day that a dear bloggy friend started called Joy Rebel Day I will be making this my first “official” post on my NEW blog.  Actually it is the old blog plus some. Mel’s bloggy world 2.0.

Brandi has started a Revolution of Joy.  It is one in which you MUST honor your inner joy rebel. She is one of the most real and joyful people I have met (even just through the bloggy world). While I can’t remember exactly how I found this wonderful souls’ website I am truly glad I did. Her words have not just brought me comfort but inspire me to live more authentically. She is a brave chick! (and my doppleganger, I am so not kidding Brandi!)

Today I give her BIG amounts of bloggy love because I know that Brandi has inspired lots of people not just me. She is one to watch.  Keep an eye on her. The world she is creating is one of love, artsy goodness, faith, perseverance, and of course, JOY!

Be A JOY REBEL!! Even for just today. Embrace it.

ps. That photo is one of her personal favorites (she is the master of that photograph). I LOVE flowers so I am more than happy to post it here on my blog. Don’t you feel like you can just lean up to the screen and take a deep breath of that luscious bloom?

pps I want to post this early so people can take part and this is my ‘bloggy love’ post so nothing new tomorrow folks! have a really sassy day.
