Small Victories Sunday Linkup 1/9/16

Welcome to another edition of Small Victories Sunday Linkup! What small victories are you celebrating this week? Thankfully, it’s time relax and and be inspired by the fabulous posts shared with us at Small Victories Sunday Linkup. 

My purpose in co-hosting Small Victories is to force myself to set aside a moment to reflect on the past week.  My goal is to focus on the things that went right, you know, the Small Victories!  Sometimes it may be something as simple as putting on makeup (that’s more of a bigger victory for me, usually only happens on Sundays, for church) or it may be finishing up a really big job I’ve been working on for weeks.  Either way, I want to take time to remind myself of what God has been able to accomplish in my life each week.  I want to be careful to give Him the glory and count my blessings.  

I’d love to have you do the same.  If you’re a blogger, link up your posts for this week and let us know what you’ve been up to.  If you don’t happen to have a blog, that’s OK, too.  Leave a comment about something big or small that’s happened in your life this week.  I love hearing about the good things happening in your life, no matter how small you think they may be.    

My Weekly Recap:

Personal & Family:

• Monday my mom had back surgery, so a good portion of this week has been spent at the hospital.  I’m very thankful for my daughter who’s running things at home…. meals, errands, shopping and even a little school with her brother!
• On that same note, even though there were some rough days, my mom is doing well.

Blogging:

• Just one post went out this week, Epic Fails 2015, which I’m happy to report, weren’t all that “epic”.

We have some bittersweet and exciting news this week. With the new year brings some changes to our hosting team. We say a big farewell and many thanks to Tiffani, Heather and Shandra who are stepping back from co-hosting. On the bright side, we now have room for another fabulous co-host and are thrilled that Michelle from Divas with a Purpose is joining our co-host team!
