Last year was my first A to Z Challenge, and my theme was plays in which I had been involved. Of course, some of the letters are harder to do than others (X and Q, anyone?) and some of the letters I had to use plays that I liked, but had not 'done'.
Since last year, I have done quite a bit of study on the "Proverbs 31 Woman". For those who may not know, this refers to the verses in Proverbs 31 in the Bible, in which King Lemuel's mother gives him advice. Verses 10-31 cover things her son, the king, should look for in a woman.
So, this year, my A to Z Challenge theme will be ...
A(ltruistic) to Z(ealous) Qualities of the Proverbs 31 Woman!
So come back on April 1 to check it out! Join the challenge by clicking the button below - there is still plenty of time to join in the fun!
I'm also sharing this post with my friends at:
Hi LuAnn - it's great to meet you. This is my first year of signing up for the A - Z challenge, and I'm looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteGlad to have you on the challenge, Shelley. IT JUST ROCKS! I can hardly wait for April! :O)
DeleteWow! That's a very interesting theme, LuAnn!! Looking forward to read and know Proverbs 31 Woman,this April!! Cheers :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you will enjoy it, Shilpa. I feel such a responsibility to provide the best information I can. :O)
DeleteSuch an interesting theme! I can't wait to see what you do with it. This is my first year with the challenge, so I'll be glad to pop in and read post from others who've gone through it before. :)
ReplyDeleteAlways glad to pass along info to the good folks at the GDL! ;O)
DeleteLike Shelley, this is also my first year of the A to Z challenge. Looking forward to reading some great posts this April. Hope to meet up with you on the way. :)
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you and so many new participants this year, SD! Will you be AtoZ posting at "http://sdneeveauthor.com/blog-it/" or someplace else?
DeleteSounds like an interesting theme :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Laura. Happy Belated Birthday over here too! :O)
DeleteWell, since I'm also celebrating (doing two blog hops simultaneously too), I'll celebrate your theme and the Friendship Friday meme by sharing :) Proverbs 31 sounds like such an interesting theme - looking forward to reading your posts!

You're co-hosting and posting on 3 different blogs for A to Z? Wow...I better put on more coffee so I can try and keep up! :O)
DeleteInteresting theme. I'm curious about what your posts.
ReplyDeleteI don't know that I'll be able to keep it to 100 words like you, Patricia. Brevity is not my 'long suit'. :O)

You had me at bartender! :p
DeleteWow. A-Z qualities of a good woman? I need to read your posts!
ReplyDeleteAlways welcome, Sherry. You'll probably recognize a lot of good things about yourself!
Delete"Proverbs 31 Woman"-- Intresting theme... I just wanna skip this last week of March and jump into April.
ReplyDeleteYou and me both, Ananya! (I was the same way in late December, waiting for the New Year so I could start my reading challenges!)
DeleteLuAnn, I can't wait to see what you share about the Proverbs 31 woman. (I have to be honest, I always feel intimidated when I read Proverbs 31.)

I swear I responded to this comment yesterday. Don't have a clue what happened to it. Oh well.
DeleteP31 intimidates everyone, TaMara, me included; even the folks who make a living writing about her or how to become her.
Thanks for the Hooligan love! :O)
Love the concept of your theme, LuAnn! So much to look forward to in April - and please leave the porch light on for me! :D

My April A to Z Challenge 2014 Theme Reveal #atozchallenge #atozreveal
I hear you, Vidya. I'm thinking, "What? We have to wait EIGHT WHOLE DAYS?!?!?! I want to start the party NOW!" :O) And, consider the light on, my friend!
DeleteLuAnn,
ReplyDeleteThat's a wonderful theme for the Challenge.
Thanks so much, J.J. What blog are you doing the challenge on?
DeleteI look forward to stopping by to see what you share each day from such a hard to live up to woman.
ReplyDeleteI know, Sabrina, right? It reminds me of meeting my MIL's husband the first time. I told her I was scared (he's SO accomplished). She said that would probably make him feel awkward, because to himself, he was just a regular guy. I'm hazarding a guess that P31 is the same.
DeleteI'd be curious of your take on the Proverbs 31 woman.
ReplyDeleteMy hope, Damaria, is that people will be blessed and that we can all share and learn.
DeleteWhat a great topic- can't wait to see your posts!
ReplyDeleteThank so much, Melanie. I hope people are not disappointed. I'm no scriptorian ... just a woman trying to get a little closer to P31 than I am. :O)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great challenge. I look forward to reading your posts.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Yvonne. I hope people find the posts to be helpful and encouraging. :O)
Deletea very different theme :) ... looking forward to reading your posts :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Rajlakshmi. And I look forward to reading the posts on your THREE blogs! You are going to be one busy woman in April! :O)
DeleteSounds good, Yvonne....and nice to have this for the month of Easter, lest we forget :) Shells–Tales–Sails
ReplyDeleteYou know, Sharon, I never thought about Easter being in A to Z month (aka April). I just LOVE all the new beginnings of spring.
DeleteLuAnn, so good to have you on the team this year-- you Whooligans are rocking it! :)
ReplyDeleteThat's an interesting theme you've picked-- will look forward to your posts!
#teamDamyanti has been very inspiring to me this year. The chats have been OUTSTANDING!
DeleteVery fascinating theme! This is my first time participating so I look forward to everyone's posts!
ReplyDeleteLast year was my first year, Dani. I think I'm as excited this year, possibly more, than last! This is going to be GREAT!
DeleteWhat a great theme. Thanks for introducing me to this! Can't wait to read it as my son is just entering that stage of life *shudders*
