No One's Home

I've packed up and moved. You will be redirected to my new site in just a few moments. 

If you are not automatically redirected, find me at Chrissy, Inspired. 

Closing Time

The short version:

After 2011, I will no longer be blogging here at Life's Not Always Fireflies and Hummingbirds. You will now find me blogging at Chrissy, Inspired.

The long version:

Sometimes you just know that it's time to move on, and for me that time is now. I've outgrown this blog, and it's time to take on a new challenge. It's time to find a better way to focus on living a life of intention, purpose, and simplicity. That is the mission of my new blog.

On January 2, I'll be officially putting out the welcome mat, and I want all of you to join me at my new internet home! Please be sure to stop by! 

In addition to the new blog, there's also a brand new Facebook page. Will you please "like" me there?

Thank you for your friendship here at Life's Not Always Fireflies and Hummingbirds. It's meant the world to me, and I hope I'll see you at the new place!

Have a blessed and wondrously Happy New Year, too!

One Thousand Gifts - Week Twenty-Seven

Can you believe that in less than a week, 2011 will be a memory and we'll be starting a brand new year? It really does seem that the older I get, the faster time flies. Don't you agree?

It's been a busy, crazy week but there's so much to be thankful for, which is why I'm counting blessings today with Ann Voskamp and her followers. Today I'm especially grateful for:
131. Yet another week of beautiful weather here in the midwest. Still no snow - although we've had quite a bit of rain and today there's a beautiful hard frost covering the ground;
132. Family and friends, including those scattered all over the world, the ones I connect with through the box on my desk (my computer) or the phone in my hand - that means you!;
133. The means to give loved ones everything on their Christmas wish list;
134. A day off to catch up on cleaning and laundry and, yes, napping, before going back to work tomorrow;
135. The fact that Christmas is over and we can get back to the business of normal, everyday living.
How were YOU blessed this week, Friend? I'd love it if you'd share your gift list with me in comments below!
