Hooray! It is Beautiful Life Friday! The weeks fly by so quickly, I can hardly believe it is already Friday again! In fact, with all the things I am juggling in life, I unintentionally flew right past a very important blogging milestone. So I am slowing down a bit today to acknowledge a GIFT you have all given me.
It is The Inspired Room’s two year blogaversary. Has it really been two years already? And here I thought I might run out of things to say by now! HA!
I started this whole blogging thing on a whim, before I even really knew what a blog was. I certainly had no idea how a blog could change my life or how many best friends I would meet along the way. This blogaversary is not about celebrating me, it is about celebrating being a part of a community.
I am not one who spends much time concerning myself with page views, and I seriously have no idea how to interpret google analytics, but I can tell you I enjoyed sharing the beauty of life with you just as much two years ago (when I could count my page views on one hand) as I did in the past year with millions of page views. You are still kindred spirits.
I want to take this opportunity to thank YOU all for inspiring me, motivating me, encouraging me and contributing to this blog through your generous comments and the sharing of ideas. You all never cease to amaze me, and I’m not just saying that. I adore you all. You are all a gift I get to open every day.
Go ahead and link away, share your beautiful finds and moments from the week! (don’t forget to enter the giveaway for the vintage grain sack!).
Congratulations on you blogiversary, I can not wait for the next two years. Clarice

Congratulations, and I think we all feel the same way about you/your blog re: a gift to be opened. Thank YOU for bringing loveliness and beauty into our lives!
Hi Melissa,
I just wanted to stop by and say congratulations. I always love to visit your blog. It’s often an escape to read and view all the lovely photos. As I work diligently in other areas, it’s fun to see things from other perspectives. You always inspire me. And no matter what’s going on in your life, you remain steadfast and trust the Lord. I love that about you. A beautiful life is more than a pretty house and …you demonstrate that well!
Thank you,
Debbie

It’s always a treat to stop by to drool over the fantastic photos you feature. However, do you find them?
