All around the blogosphere today {21st March, 2014}, there is a curious announcement floating onto blogs!
It’s the *official* day to *reveal!* our A TO Z CHALLENGE THEME!
{Jorie is #96!}
IF those of us signed up to reveal our theme ahead of the start date for the challenge &/or if we chose to have a ‘theme’ for the challenge itself; the reveal gives us a way to promote ourselves. The idea behind the challenge is one that I fancied myself because it’s a creative challenge to seek out *26!* topics which correlate with the ‘letter’ of the ‘day’ in which each letter from A to Z is spotlighted!
Converse & Follow A to Z Challengers:
#AtoZChallenge & #A2ZReveal {alt. #AtoZReveal}
IF you’d like to discover {new!} bloggers of whom are signed into the challenge, scope out the *1445+* participating!
The beauty of the A to Z is it’s not limited by your imagination nor of the dedication of your blog!
{Jorie is #558!}
***Announcing my theme
for A to Z Challenge 2014:***
Jorie Loves Inspirational Stories
: An Alphabet Essay in 26 parts :
I felt I had known *exactly!* what I was going to blog about during the A to Z Challenge when I first signed up to participate; however, it wasn’t until I had this lovely serendipitous conversation with fellow challenger Amrita {of , The Book Drifter & Drifting Traveller! @Amrita86} through Twitter, where I realised I had short-changed myself by half! I had a theme which was truly etching out the heart of who ‘Jorie’ is not merely of ‘Jorie Loves A Story’ but the ‘Jorie’ in the traditional sense ‘in real life’. Yet, I had mistakenly left out a very elementary and key ingredient from my theme and from my overall sketchings of what my A to Z Challenge topics would reflect! I am blessed and grateful to have crossed paths with Amrita not only as a lovely new bookish friend, but I am blessed to have signed into a blog challenge which is going to become a peppered essay reflecting to the world the insight behind why I blog!
I am hopeful those who are making the rounds for the ‘theme reveals’ will return back to Jorie Loves A Story starting on 1st April, 2014 to see what “A” reveals! And, prior to the beginning of the challenge, I invite you to duck over to my Story Vault and see if you want to wander around a bit ahead of time!
