#AtoZChallenge….. 26 Days of ‘Soothing Ways to Pamper Your Mind, Body & Soul’

I’ve found this great blog challenge. It’s called The A-Z Challenge.   Arlee Bird @ Tossing it Out   is the brains behind this much awaited blog party.

The challenge is for bloggers to write posts {beginning with the letters of the Alphabet)  from A-Z throughout the month of April. But not on Sundays. The creators of this enticing challenge figured out that, by making a ‘no blogging Sunday’, the total posts for the month turns out to be exactly twenty-six posts. Juuuuust enough posts to accommodate every letter in the English alphabet!  Totally. Clever.

Right now there are 2,250 bloggers participating. { …. I’m #2099 }.  That’s, at least, 2,249 bloggie friends to be made and an equal amount of opportunities to be discovered. (Don’t you just love reciprocity?)

The posts don’t have to be long – nice, right?  There are a few more rules to the challenge. They’re all quite simple and lend themselves to what sounds like a month long good time.

I’ve decided to post with a theme in mind.

As stated in this posts title, my

THEME FOR THIS CHALLENGE IS:

‘Soothing Ways to Pamper Your Mind, Body & Soul’

So what do you think? Will you be joining me?

Tomorrow…. Day #1 & The Letter ‘A’

Pink Ink … Ode to the {Boobs}

Good Morning Luv-lies,

I spent the better part of the past weekend in bed nursing a cold.  {It unexpectedly reared its nasty head sometime Friday evening}.  Armed with multiple boxes of brand-named tissue, and enough vapor rub, cough elixir and ginger ale to cure a small army, I conceded to the notion of being a prisoner in my boudoir.  Between the sneezing, coughing and unplanned sleep ‘events’, I managed to get in a movie or two.  Chick Flicks mostly.  Nothing like a chick flick to soothe what ales you!

What I like most about a realllly good chick flick is the multiple themes layered throughout.  One theme that we can always count on is love.  From there, the writers might  sprinkle in a little sensitivity, resilience, family … the list is endless.   This weekend’s theme of the moment was bravery.

Long after the closing credits had rolled, as I randomly surfed the ‘net, the whole ‘bravery’ thing stayed on my mind.  I recalled people, situations and experiences in my personal life where acts of bravery were front and center.  My heart warmed at the notion of, either, knowing someone and/or personally stepping up to the “bravery plate”.

My only hope is that, the next time that I have to wear the shield of bravery, I am as brave as these women::

Kelly Davidson of Ontario, Canada kicked Cancer’s a$$ THREE times!!!  HER INSPIRING STORY…

Inga Duncan Thornell of Seattle, Washington had a double prophylactic mastectomy.  HER INSPIRING STORY …

I was unable to find the name of this beautiful Woman Hero.  If you happen to know, please leave it in the comments.  I reallllly want to give her proper Kudos!

She is another Beautiful Woman Her0 who I could not find her name.  Like the brave woman above, it you have any info, please leave it in the comments.

The smile of this Beautiful Woman Hero is infectious!  Again – if you know her leave the info in the comments.  Big THX!
