“It is unique and rare to find a woman who is satisfied with where she is.” Priscilla Shirer

Oh Lord, make me THAT unique and rare woman.  Today.

The Joy Dare is the challenge to find 1,000 gifts in 2012. 1,000 things you can stop and say thank you for.  1,000 things that remind you that Joy is Everywhere.
