My 24th Birthday - Time to Move On

Today it's one who year since I created my blog and wrote my first post!

Also ... it's my twenty fourth birthday! I'm in a curious limbo between hardly noticing I'm officially a year older and hardly believing I'm really twenty four years old! But ... oh well ... honestly, being twenty four does not (yet!) feel the tiniest little bit different from being twenty three ...

However, being twenty four makes me think it's time for a change ... time to move on. Honestly, can I write a blog called "Twenty Three and Soaring" when I'm twenty four? I've thought of keeping the name and updating my profile information ... changing the name to "Twenty Four and Soaring" ... or changing the name to something totally different.

But none of those options feels "right."

I like my blog. But I think I've outgrown it. So I'm moving on. On out of blog-o-land? I've considered it, but I think I'll miss blogging. So ... welcome to my new blog!

A big "thank you" to everyone who's read my blog and walked the last year with me through my posts! It's been such a fun and exciting adventure, blogging and making bloggy friends! You can't imagine how privileged I feel, to know that many people read my posts and that some people are encouraged. That's awesome to know, it really is. Thank you so much, dear people who read my blog!

Since it's my birthday, how about ... letting me know who you are and what your favourite book is? That would be fun! (But no pressure if you'd rather stay anonymous. That's fine!) Otherwise ... to start you off ... hello! My name in Elizabeth and my favourite book it (at the moment!) "When God Writes Your Life Story" by Eric and Leslie Ludy. And you are ... ?

I'd love to play along!

My name is Clare, and my favorite book is... well, it's going to be hard to narrow it down to one, but I'm going to say Manalive by G.K. Chesterton. I learned so much about joy from that book.

Elizabeth, have a blessed 24th birthday! I can't even remember now how I came across your blog (maybe from Mandy's?), but I'm so glad I did. You've written so many beautiful and thoughtful posts, and have inspired me so much.

I'll be adding your new blog to my reader!

Happy very late birthday, Elizabeth!
My name is Rachel and I am 18 years old. I must say my favorite book is the Bible. I have found no other book that I desire to read over or that holds such beauty and passion!
I'll see you at Lady Felicity's Diary :)
