Hi, BBB-peeps!
Can you believe it’s been a year (today) since I started BigBodyBeautiful?!
OMG, so much has happened in the last year. We’ve taken lots of awesome journeys together, haven’t we? You’ve allowed me to traipse through your brains, live in your reality, and figuratively (ha, ha!) explore your gorgeous bodies. You’ve listened to me, encouraged me, written awesome guest posts here, and connected with each other and me in very meaningful ways. You’ve given so much of yourselves and have graced my blog and life with your thoughtful, soulful responses, ideas, and discussions.
The world is hungry for this message and it takes all of us. What I do here cannot be done without you. Oh, sure. I’m a writer. I’ll always write, but what truly makes the writer is the audience, the exchange of energy, and the sharing of information; it’s what you bring to this space that truly shapes this into something meaningful for lots and lots of people. So, I thank you from the bottom of my soul and core of my big beautiful body for the love, life, and fun that we share on this blog, my friends. I’ll keep going. You keep coming here and shining your light. Dang, now I really, really want some cake. LOL! Okay, and lastly, come have some cake with me.
Congrats Liz!!
Thanks, Jacki-Babe! You’ve made this so much fun, honey. XOXO
Happy one year blog-a-versary!!! It’s been a treat having you around and enlightening reading. And even though I can’t eat cake, I’ll definitely take a virtual piece of cake. Make mine orange cake with chocolate frosting! Love you Liz!!!
Susan!
Thank you so much, love-muffin! I owe you a response to your Facebook message and will try to get in there to do that tonight. But, CONGRATS on that, mama. So, so amazing. I was smiling HUGE when I popped in and read your message this am. I was doing “fluff” stuff and couldn’t dignify your wonderful message with a proper, lengthy, and heart-felt response, but will do so. I love you, sis. Thanks for making this blog so awesome and for the well-wishes. Love you, sis!
Congratulations, Big Lizzy! I love coming here and feeling the love and positive energy. Keep up the fabulous work.
xoxo, Your Valley Girl BB

*Many cultures consider coccinellids lucky and have nursery rhymes or local names for the insects that reflect this. For instance, the Turkish name for the insect is uğur böceği, literally meaning “good luck bug”. In many countries, including Russia, Turkey, and Italy, the sight of a coccinellid is either a call to make a wish or a sign that a wish will soon be granted. *Copied from Wikipedia*
