Big Hugs

 Many of you may have noticed that for the past few months, my blog post really have no rhyme or reason to them.  I've been posting what ever comes to mind when I wake up in the morning.  

One of the things that I love most about blogging is that there's no rule book sitting on my desk telling me what I must write about.  

I don't have to stay in one lane....I can take a scenic route or detour down a dirt road.  I enjoy being able to talk about anything from the smell of fresh-baked bread to the life lesson I learned when I tripped over a crack in the sidewalk a few years ago.    

For me....I'm more of let's see where this cup of coffee takes me kind of writer.  One day...I might share a family story that makes everyone laugh and the next day it might be a faith reflection, and the next day after that....who knows??  Certainly not me!!  I think this is half of the fun for me. 

I don't have pets of my own, but I do love seeing your sweet fur babies.  Each time one of you posts a puppy grin or a cat in mid-yawn, I'm right there, heart clicking like crazy.  

As you all know, family is most important to me, and you've probably noticed that my posts are peppered...okay, maybe I should say that they are generously seasoned with family moments.  These people are my heart...they are my heart and in most cases the source of my funniest stories. 

But, here is the truth to my blogging.  One of the biggest joys for me isn't just the writing...it is YOU!!  You all are my extended family. This little community is a bright spot in my life and I can't imagine my days without your comments, your stories, your prayers and your friendship.  You all make this space so much more than words on a screen...

Random thoughts will continue to always be a part of who I am.  Some funny, some spiritual, many that are true to my heart, and even a few that are simply ridiculous...  I always hope that when you leave "Shug, Steps of Faith" that you come away Blessed.  

Shug..
