One year ago today, I got the idea to start a blog from Caroline and the BB Dishchicks which is a fantastic blog dedicated to Big Brother. I started this blog because I had so much inside me to say, and no one to say it to. I needed a place to drop my thoughts before I dropped from the exhaustion of carrying them. The blog was dark, unadorned, imageless.
I had two loyal, loving friends reading; Danette and Emily.
Since then, my blog lightened. Images came to being. I made more friends. Loyal, supportive, inspiring, wise and kind. It started with Jamie Ridler and her amazing book club- Soul Coaching. It helped me meet the most wonderful group of angels on earth, and through them, I met more. All of you.
And so to thank you, I am giving away some of the wallpapers I made. But I am going to go one step further...
I will be making something for each of the 19 people who commented on the giveaway post as a thank you. When I complete your gift, I will contact you on your blogs. :) It may take some time, but I will make it!
Without further ado here are the winners which I drew out of an empty purse. I don't have pics as my camera batteries died. :) You can trust me that I did this fairly.
The winners please email me at [genie1sea][at][yahoo][dot][com] with your preferences in order of 1.2.3.
I also drew two extra names for good measure as there are 5 wallpaper giveaways.
1st choice goes to: Pamela from A Touch of Inspiration
2nd choice goes to: Steve from Color Sweet Tooth
3rd choice goes to: Robyn from Tales of Inglewood
In 4th place are two more fabulous bloggers who will each also receive one of the wallpapers:
Caroline from Caro's Lines
Serena from Art by Serena
Whether you won or not, whether you commented or not, know that I am thankful daily to have met you, and that you are somewhere in this world making it a better place.
Thank you!
And today being Wednesday, it means it's Jamie Ridler's Wishcasting !
The prompt is: What do you wish to read?
The prompt is: What do you wish to read?
I have countless books on my list of reads as I am a voracious reader. The one thing I wish to keep on reading because it is my daily source of inspiration is all of your blogs.
Because.
Of all the books I have read in my life, and have yet to read, your blogs have given me the most to think about, rejoice about, laugh about, write about, paint about. You are all wonderful!
Blessed be :)

Happy Anniversary!
As Genie wishes for herself, so I wish! Happy Blog-i-versary!! YEA - well done!
I love reading here, too - & a book I want to read is 'The Alphabet & The Goddess' - I'm intrigued by the premis that putting things in writing has, at least in the past, surpressed our rich & wonderful oral tradition, & favored 'God/male' ways of thinking.
Writing this, I feel adding back images helps us move beyond words, back into 'her-story'.
blessed be!
Great job on your first year, how inspiring since I just started! Great role model...as Genie wishes for herself, so I wish for her also!
