Perception is Everything

01/29/14 | assorted, blogging

Hi everybody, thank you, THANK YOU, thank you for the out pouring of love yesterday.  Between your lovely comments on my blog post and on my pre-surgery and post-surgery Instagram pictures I really appreciate all of your well wishes.  Surgery went well but as I mentioned, a few of my favorite bloggers will be taking over for the rest of the week while I recover – today, meet Janna!

Hello Sparklers!

I’m Janna and I blog over at Perception Is Everything. I know you are here for sweet Kelly, but unfortunately, she is laid up for the week. Fear not! We are going to attempt to fill her pretty, sparkly, shoes ๐Ÿ˜‰ So what does one do when they want to “fit in” on a new blog? Head straight for the popular posts page, and give you more of what you already like.
Without further adieu, here are some things that Kelly and I have in common. Just don’t judge me, because I don’t claim to be a fashionista like Miss Sparkles here.
 I make attempts at fashion:
I tried the over the knee boots that she mentioned:
I’ve been known to dress up for a Gala:
And I love sharing recipes:
Don’t we just seem like twins?
Okay, but seriously, I simply want to leave you with a bit of cheer and a though for the day. Mostly this is for Kelly while she’s laid up, but it applies to us all.
Yes, we could all stay in our safe little bubbles to avoid injury of our body, heart and mind, but a smooth sea never made a skillful sailor. Perception Is Everything, my dears!
Thanks for having me, Kelly, and feel better quick!
