A to Z Challenge Reveal Blogfest!



I am so excited for today to run around the blogosphere and see what all the #AtoZChallenge tribe will be up to next month!

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:


It would just tickle me pink to cross-introduce folks from one group to the other, because they have both helped me grow exponentially as a blogger!

  10. LuAnn, 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.)

    1. I swear I responded to this comment yesterday. Don't have a clue what happened to it. Oh well.

      P31 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)

  11. 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

    1. I 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.

  14. I'd be curious of your take on the Proverbs 31 woman.
