    What a group of inspirational lovelies! :)

    My little ‘positivity’ for the day-

    SO thankful for ALL of the sweet & supportive ladies I’ve been able to be friends with online in this community. So many mean SO much to me!

    This week on my “positivity breeds positivity” post I used the quote:
    “It’s not what you see that matters, it’s how you see it”

    So in Ashley’s case, it’s like she was looking at an area and the people/kids living in that area and instead of turning her shoulder, she saw the ways she could help them.
    Thanks for the giveaway and inspiration! I also really <3 the weigands blog!

    Something super positive – I’m pregnant and due on my birthday! Woo hoo! (Just found out! :-D)

  12. Stacey L. Leonard says

    I’ve been following all three of ya’ll because of all the inspiration you each provide!

    “Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right- whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable- if anything is excellent or praiseworthy, think about such things!”

  15. SarahF says

    I love the positive impact blogging has had in my life – whether through my personal blog or from the insight I have gained from the women I have been following!

  17. Cat says

    My positive for the day: After a great nap, the kids are all joyful instead of cranky and Mommy is feeling more hopeful as well. AND it’s almost fall aka cooler weather aka we can get outside and enjoy God’s nature again!

  24. SarahF says

    Hmm . . . something positive. Well, I recently started my first semester as a college professor and it is refreshing. MEeting my student’s and knowing that I will learn as much from them as they will from me is inspiring. It is such a blessing to be able to give back to my community in this way.

  26. MelindaB says

    My parents wedding anniversary is tomorrow – 38 years! What a wonderful example of a respectful, loving marriage!

  33. danett says

    Something positive for me is winter! Our house burned down in February of this year, so I am totally over the hot weather. I’m looking forward to hoodies and cuddling.

  64. Ashley M says

    Love this! my positivity is from a shirt i just ordered that says “don’t give up the ship”…i’ve been realizing that this “dream” i’ve been kind of getting exhausted from chasing is worth putting the hard work in for and “not giving up the ship!”

  65. Lesley says

    It’s almost the weekend and Monday is a holiday!! Praises, it’s the small things sometimes. This week has been tough but I’ve been reminded that the Lord’s faithfulness and mercy is new each morning. And he is my strength when I am weak. This helps me to keep going. Thanks, for the giveaway.

  69. Kate says

    I just returned from the last of our neighborhood concerts in the park for the summer…such a treat to see young and old alike dancing and lounging on the lawn…and such a treat to share the evening with my precious family!

  71. joee grant says

    I have so so many positive things in my life it is hard to choose just one….lets see….I have spent the past year not feeling good at all….sick all the time….scared about being sick all the time. I got the go ahead to get back to exercise and found my bike!!! I ride everywhere now! 250 miles in a few short weeks and I feel fantastic!!! Better than I ever remember feeling….so strong and energetic!!! And in love with life. I smile everyday again and can’t wait to wake up to see what the day has in store for me!!! Yeah!!! I am finally well!!!!! Sooo grateful for this and so much more!

  101. Nadir@StitchSense says

    Awesome giveaway!!! Something positive is that I just relaunched my shop after taking a few months off & my shop just had its 1st birthday on Sunday! I’m hoping this year will be better than the last! :-)

  107. Mary Beth (The Blue Ladybug) says

    I’m reminded to be thankful for what I have, as I see how many people in my life are grieving and suffering! One day the Lord will redeem creation- Amen! Casey has been an inspiration to me the past couple weeks, and I am praying for her family during this time!

  109. Michaela says

    Great giveaway!! Two positive things… my son is starting preschool for thee first time next week and it will allow me to spend some quality one on one time with his younger sister. The other is that I am starting up my own handmade shop and am so excited to really be able to devote some time to getting it up and running (and growing!).

  110. Patty B. says

    Oh wow so excited about this giveaway there are no words! My positive thing: NOT having a flooded basement and keeping our power throughout Hurricane Irene, especially considering the devastation that’s a mere 15 minutes away from us. So thankful!

  120. Pam says

    Hope I win. It would be a blessing! Something positive: To be an American citizen is a blessing. Our worst day here, is heaven for another in a 3rd world country. Be thankful for each day, even if it seems unbearable sometimes, because if you can make it through, like a pruned plant, you will only be stronger and more beautiful for it.

  121. Amanda says

    Love both blogs…and yours of course! Something positive is that I am working on my plans to open my own shop in the very near future. So excited!!!

  122. Erica Lee says

    My niece skipped crawling and went straight to walking!! She’s surpassing all odds as she was born at 27 weeks. Such a miracle!

  124. fallon says

    My something positive is how thankful am to be a wife to a supportive husband, and a mama to two beautiful boys AND i get to share and relate life experiences with other wonderful women by blogging!

  130. Pam says

    My positive thing is that I am beating cancer at 30 years old and living to fight it for my husband and kids. Having a surgery I dreaded to have saved my life. :)

  133. Jennifer says

    Wonderful giveaway. My positive news this week – my very shy and nervous daughter had a wonderful first week of kindergarten!
