The End of WinterHere we are, at the end of winter - the end of the winter edition of the Ultimate Blog Challenge, that is! How did you do? I think I got more traffic, though not as much as I did in the fall. I think one reason is that I didn't do the blog post descriptions - the blurbs you write describing the post - that I did last time. Another reason is that I didn't write as many blog posts. But even though I wasn't able to participate as much as I wanted, I loved connecting with you all! Congratulations on making it to the end of the challenge, no matter how many posts you created! Comfort and GriefAs I come to the end of my posts for this month, I find that I have one more thing I want to share. I was watching a Kyle Cease video recently, and he said that he believes that this year's theme is going to be grief. Especially the loss of who we always thought we were. So I thought I'd offer some comfort here today. And I want to encourage you not just to be open to any grief that arises, but also to offer yourself comfort when you need it. Watch this video and let it soothe you... One good thing about discovering who you really are as a soul is that you'll know the truth of this quote... How are you feeling about 2024, so far? How did January go? UBC bloggers, thanks for spending the month with me. See you in April! Love, Jeanine

I'm feeling really good about January, I never found theme but somehow that seemed to make it easier to write. I never know if I'll keep blogging after a challenge (I never have been consistent) but, I like to think I'll at least do it once or twice a week, we'll see!

Oh, I'm so glad to hear that you feel good about January! I'm hoping for posting once a week, myself. Yes, I look forward to seeing you in April, too, if not before.

Jeanine, thanks for mentioning Kyle Cease. His work looks really interesting. As to releasing grief with grace, I get to do that on an ongoing basis. I have recently lost my mother, a sister, my husband, spent a year in chemo, and just lost another sister. I agree, we were always enough! Bless you!

Congrats on a great month Jeanine! As you were waving good bye, I was closing the book on the challenge month! I didn't even check my stats until now, January was the best month of the past 4 challenges. On to a few months off then we'll be back in another challenge! I'm sure you'll have some exciting blogs again! Hugs to you.
