I'm Going to Give You a Bear Hug!

The winner was randomly selected from all of the blog's email subscribers. And the winner is:

A big thanks to ALL of the rest of you who subscribe to the blog. I hope you continue to find encouragement and community here. 

And thank you for sharing that encouragement with others through your social media. You are a blessing to others and definitely to me.

If you didn't win, hang in there. We have a giveaway at least once a month.

Have a joyful day,

Sally
