I am linking up with Farley. I think this might be my 4th linky party...I am really not sure. Linky Parties scare me. I LOVE to stalk them but talking about myself scares me to death. I HATE any attention that is put on me. I will never be a bubbly, out-going teacher. Calm and quiet seems to sum me up.
BUT this year, I am going to try and not be such a chicken!!!
I am going to TRY and put myself out there more...no more CHICKEN!!! =)
I am sure I will be back SQAUWKING and BAWKING in a month but I will try better to not be afraid to share more about me and what God has called me to do. =)

I want to give a special shout out to Cheryl at Crayons and Curls. Sweet, sweet Cheryl has been a friend of mine since the bloggy beginning. She was a winner of my very first give away last December when I still had less than 150 followers. She is such a blessing to me. She helped me today not be such a chicken and helped push me out of my comfort zone. If you have not stopped by her blog, hop over there as soon as you can. She is such a sweet, Texas blessing. I know you will love her too! =)
I am holding my breath as I post this Currently....

How can you not resist this???
He is so cute! He hops around my feet in circles until I pick him up. =)
One of my New Year's resolutions is to not be a chicken to post more on TpT.
I feel like throwing up just typing that!!!
I am very excited about what I am working on right now.
I hope they capture the magic I love to bring into my classroom. =)
I think the last time I did a Currently there was an OLW...and I think I did FROG then also. FROG will always be perfect for me. I love frogs because frog stands for Fully Rely On God.
I meant to post this earlier.
Since I didn't, I have extended the sale in my store until Friday. =)
Thank you friends for being such a blessing to me in 2012. I hope you have taken something from my blog back to your classroom that has been helpful. I love when I hear my kiddos talk to each other about being a helpful heart. I have always tried to blog from my heart. I hope God continues to put on my heart what He needs me to share.
From My Heart to Yours,

I think that it is very brave to have a blog at all! You are much braver than me. Thank you for always writing such kind and inspirational words. We all need it!
Sometimes spending the day in pjs is the best!!! Great OLW! I'm your newest follower! Happy New Year!!

I love reading your blog! Your bunny is beautiful. I miss mine. He lived to just over 12 years old and we had him all but the first 4 months of his life. Bunnies sure are fun pets! Take care!

Heather,
I received the wonderful blessing of reading this post through the Currently Linky Party. I am always amazing how God finds a way of giving us what we need and I needed FROG. I need to read that every day and keep it in the forefront of my mind. Thank you so much for sharing it. I'm proud of you for stepping outside your comfort zone. I haven't even worked up the nerve to open a TPT store! Keep up the great work!

Stepping out of a comfort zone is hard. I too am often a chicken! I love your one little word! I love that so many of us freely post about God, prayer intentions and faith.
Continue to be you! I love your honestly on your blog.

I love your post on your blog. I need some advice on where to go to get my blog noticed and add followers. Any advice for a newbie blogger would be helpful. Where do I start? You were so sweet to leave such a nice complient about my blog. This is a little overwhelming for me. Any tutorial advice would also be helpful.
Hi Heather! Hopping over to show you some love. I have been reading, but have not been great about commenting. Thanks for your continuing support. Your posts always make me smile!

Thanks for being such an amazing source of encouragement this year. I look forward to each and every blog post you create. Happy New Year sweet friend!
Yeehaw! Teaching in Texas
I feel exactly the same way! I feel strange putting myself out there. Maybe we can encourage each other :)

Congrats for linking up! I am glad you did. Your OWL is such a perfect reminder to me of how I want to live out 2013. Thanks for always being so encouraging! Happy New Year!!
Heather,
I hope you know that you don't have to be "out there" so to speak to be a blessing to someone else. You don't need that to feel good about yourself. You are making a difference in your kids lives and those who read your blog. You can be the dependable calm in this crazy storm. I look forward to that. Sometimes I think bloggers are in competition with each other for all different recognitions. I don't think that's why you blog. You reach others through your heartfelt thoughts and words. Please don't change a thing!! You are loved just the way you are!!
Love You!!

Hi Heather. My daughter was looking over my shoulder as I was reading your post and she loves your bunny. We talked about one of our books that has a kitty and a bunny as pets together. It is called Marshmallow and it is by Clare Turlay Newberry. I'm sure you already know it. If not check it out. Thanks for sharing your personal photos they are really fun to look at.
Heather, I love your heartfelt posts. You are a blessing to your readers! I love your OWL, it goes really well with mine, CONFIDENCE. Without F.R.O.G. you can't have confidence! Thanks for sharing!

I love the FROG - I'm going to try and really do it this year. Getting up early and spending some quality time will help. Thanks for reminding me, Heather.
Love your Currently's . . . especially the FROG. Perfect. I also love the graph you posted at the top. I've been really struggling with quiet time since having my son 2.5 years ago and my newest 9-months ago. Sleepless nights don't make early mornings easy.
What i have learned
Heather, Now it's my turn to be your newest follower. I love FROG- something I was introduced to in high school and can always use a reminder to do. :)

Heather... I just have to tell you that you are THE most encouraging blogger out there! You are inspiring! I've been so slow to get my blog up and rolling... and you just inspire me to not be too hard on myself...but to keep doing what I CAN. Thank you for being one of my 2012 blessings.
Thanks for leaving a message for me. I have checked out your blog and love it too. I am very new to blogging and TpT. You have heaps of followers. I look forward to following your progress and live the quote about head then heart.
