Doing YOU WELL Wednesday #35 and a new series

an encouragement link up and starting a new series

Is it just me or are you all glad it's October too?! Whoopwhoop! What a bad hostess I was last week though, wouldn’t you say…throwing a party and not even showing up to it. I mean really now, who does that! I sure hope you all will forgive me…I.promise.to.do.better! :-)  I’ll be visiting each and every one of you who commented last week, to return some love your way! 


Anywho, it’s another Wednesday and you all know what that means…”Doing YOU WELL Wednesday”!! I’ll start the party off by telling you all what I’m “doing well”! Last Friday night, as I mentioned, I hosted my “Prowess and Pearls” women’s meeting at our church. We had an awesome time! I know I promised some pictures, but I've only got one to share. Someone took the rest on a digital camera and well, let's just say...I didn't have the patience to wait on them! :-)
A bad habit I have is talking with my hands! :-) No, I wasn't praying here, just making an intense point, lol!
Did you notice my "Prowess and Pearls" shirt?


Also, my daughter and son-in-law made my business cards…yes, I’m just getting business cards...IKR! I think they turned out great, what do you think? Y'all can check out some of their work on their Facebook page (YourVision Graphics and Designs) right HERE. Do me a BIG favor and go like them, they’re super duper kids! And, if you need any graphic design work done for a reasonable price…hit them up! 

(Front and back) Aren't these caaa-ute!!


Also, I’m excited to say that I’ll be back to blogging again on Mondays...starting Monday, October 7th…yayyy!!  So, be on the lookout next Monday for “Mastering YOU Monday”, where I’ll be blogging about ALL the things we need to master about ourselves(the good, the bad and the ugly), so that we can master our lives! 

As promised, my two featured bloggers for this week are JUDY who blogs over at  "Judy H-J's Thoughts-A Twinless Twin" and JOANNE who blogs over at "Days & Thoughts"Please head over and show these lovely ladies some love! If you like their blogs, by all means do follow and I'm sure they'll return the favor! Come back next week to see if you're the "featured blogger"!

Link up any post(s) you'd like, tell us what you're doing well this week in the comment section, visit a few blogs in the link-up and give them some encouragement by spreading some comment love AND don't forget to let them know you're visiting from the "DYWW" link-up! Until next week...I call each and every one of you blessed!

  17. I thought you were praying in that pic too! Ha. I gave a facebook LIKE to your daughter and SIL's site. Your business cards look great. I don't have any either. On my to-do list. I'll check out Judy and Joanne's blogs. I linked up my wrap-up post for my September Blog Challenge. Still on a high from all the support I received for it--including yours, Michell! I am doing well on this Wednesday from all the new connections that I made and creating goals for moving forward with my blog. Have a great week!
