Back to the Joy Dare Collection

So here we are again – a new month!  Summer is moving by quickly.  Time to slow things down.  And what better way to stay in the moment than to take the time and look around at the blessings – the joyful ones and the hard ones.

I challenge you to take on Ann Voskamp’s Joy Dare Collection for August.  You can find her “count 1000 gifts list” by clicking on the link below:
