It’s your birthday today – because you are (in)courage.
Happy Birthday to you! Two full, fun-flavored years!
Here’s to sweet, beautiful, chocolate cupcake and community lovin’ you!
It’s been a year of starting a new spot for our community to connect, a book club for everyone to join, and guest posts on a regular basis.
And have we ever got a present to celebrate you in style! It’s so big it’s going to take us 30 full days to unwrap.
Yup, layer by layer and day by day we’re going to be letting you in on the biggest, yummiest secret we’ve cooked up on (in)courage yet!
We’re counting down to September 9th and the big reveal of something brand new and deliciously (in)couraging.
Our 30 contributors can barely contain their excitement. So over the next 30 days, they’ll be slipping you 30 reasons why they’re psyched about what’s coming on September 9th.
Here’s a sneak peek from me about why what’s coming is going to be so phenom(in)al!
Any guesses?
