Reflections on the April challenge, from A-Z 2015


This is the third time I am participating in this challenge.  I am very glad to say that it was very good; I have learnt to be relaxed and took one day at a time to post. This year I focused on travel beginning from all the places I visited; and some of it I dreamt and still others got added to my list.

It is always nice to part of this challenge; and every year I had a small number of persons with whom I interacted on a regular basis, and also commented and enjoyed their posts. My sincere thanks to Arlee Bird and all the team members who organized and provided opportunity challenging us to blog for 26 days.

Some of the blogs that I frequently visited and also received comments were was as follows:

Susan scott http://www.gardenofedenblog.com -I thank Susan for enlightening me with her posts on dreams, I got hooked to her blog right from day one and I have grown a little bit more in understanding about dreams and how to use the dreams to make it for ourselves…

Sanch’ blog . http://www.livingmyimperfectlife.com I thank sanch for sharing all the phobias, some of which I heard and a lot more I did not know, and I was glad to read your posts.

Parul. https://happinessandfood.wordpress.com I thank parul for posting a lot of not only information, but experiences of women, and the challenges women face, you were daring to open up discussions on a lot of issues concerning women which otherwise we would not bother to talk about.

I am filled with gratitude for the 26 days that I was able to complete the challenge, and yes! I have grown in confidence, knowledge, and of course made some new friends through this process.

I am glad to have taken part and loved the variety among the bloggers; thanks friends to all of you, some places I was not able to connect, as I was getting message like ‘duplicate comment detected’ still some others, I had some problem in commenting… despite all the problem, April was a great month, and it was also fun, hard work, inspiration that also brought in some discipline in ensuring that we post on time.  Once again thanks one and all, I do appreciate you !!
 Thanks! Wishing you God’s abundant blessings !!

  9. Apologies for the extremely delayed response to your reflections post. I was visiting India during the last 2.5 weeks and was not able to get a stable internet connection during my travels. I must say that I have enjoyed your posts for AtoZ. They have made me add several places on my must-visit list. Thank you so much for sharing and congrats on completing the challenge. So glad to have come across you through AtoZ. :)
