B is for Beautiful #AtoZChallenge2025

B is for Beautiful

Sometimes, beauty is a sunrise ushering in a new day.

Sometimes, beauty is a smile from a stranger.

Sometimes, beauty is a hug from a longtime friend.

Sometimes, beauty is simply feeling grateful for the imperfect life we live.

What is beautiful in your day?

~Jayden R. Vincente

Appreciation #AtoZChallenge2025

 

 

Our team theme this year is our blogging community, gratitude, or being grateful for our blogging community.

As another year of the A-Z Blogging Challenge kicks off, I have a deep appreciation of what this community and challenge has brought to my online life. The first year I did this challenge (2016), I had only been blogging for a couple of months and needed inspiration about what to blog about and the encouragement to keep at it – I found both in this blogging community.

Over the years, my blogging style has changed, what I blog about has changed, I’ve even moved from a free site to my own website – but what hasn’t changed is the support the month of April brings. I’ve found many of my online friends through this challenge and I greatly appreciate them.

What has this challenge and community brought you?

You Can Do This #AtoZChallenge 2024

You can do this.

Keep that in mind as the month – and the challenge – draws to a close.

You can do this.

Far beyond April, your blog needs you to keep on writing and posting.

You can do this.

Write about things that interest you. Write about things you love.

You can do this.

After a month of consistent blogging, you know what you like and dislike; you’ve found your style.

You can do this.

You’ve read and commented on so many blogs, you know what works and what doesn’t (for you and others).

You can do this.

Now: become your favourite blogger.

How did your month of blogging go? What did you learn about yourself?
