Gratitude & Growth: MY BLOG IS 5!

Hello Royalty!

It’s a rush of emotions as I type this! I am exciteddd! Today makes it five good, amazing, beautiful, and growth-filled years since I started blogging. I am super grateful for the challenges, wins, breaks, consistencies, readership, shares, and comments. It’s been real and rad!

2020 in itself has been an extremely memorable year, and I have learned to celebrate every single win, no matter how small or big it appears to be. To that effect, we are celebrating BIG this year!

Before we go into the year’s progress report, here’s my gratitude letter:

Dear reader/sharer/well-wisher/subscriber:

Thank you. Thank you for being a part of this incredible journey. Thank you for all the intentional and unintentional ways you have supported me. For those who have shared with me the ways in which the blog has made a difference in their lives at some point in time, thank you. It encourages me to know that this blog is fulfilling its mission of transforming worlds with words.

I haven't been the best blogger or content creator. Sometimes, I fall short of my schedule. I pick other things over blogging like work and school when they call for attention. But every time I find myself here, it's like reuniting with a long-time friend or discovering a favorite song over and again.

I could go on and on, but as beautiful as words may be, they're never enough to express gratitude. Again, thank you, and have a most wonderful December. I pray that the God who has kept you and me all year long will keep us all through the month and beyond. I also pray that this marks a month of fresh starts, refreshing, and rebirths in Jesus Name. That's what I keep hearing in my spirit. I'm extending it to you, and I hope you constantly remember to stay true to who God has made you to be and what God has called you to do.

I love you.

With Overflowing Love,

Alexandra Zion.
