Every time I visit there, I try to guess the writing voice before getting to the bio at the end. Some things give it away, like Ann always uses a blue drop cap and words heavy with grace; Amber’s voice drips with imagery and honest metaphor; Holley speaks like a kindred spirit; Annie tells it like it is, honest and brave; and my sister, when she writes in this space, speaks with the same fun spirit as she does at her place, but we get to see a little different side of her here.

There are so many more of them, the women who write for (in)courage. They are a gift to me. I hope to you as well. Do you have a gift to notice and unwrap today?

I do that, too — try to guess the writer before I see the bio at the end. Sometimes I cheat and scroll down to see who it is before I am finished reading!
(in) courage is truly a gift! And so are you!

Gorgeous photo, and a great thing to be grateful for.
I do the same thing, trying to figure out who wrote what. (in)courage is a great site. I can’t wait to read what you’ve written over there.

Emily . . . you and The Man are awesome (The Man’s one of my favorite people). Thanks for your “comment” – In all humility, when it comes to writing, I’m not worthy to even “tie one of your shoe laces!” Keep the channels between The Great-Gift-Giver – who has definitely gifted you – and yourself open and flowing. Rest & Relationship before w’Riting!
Hi Emily…this is the first time I comment on a blog eventhough I read In Courage every day. I just loved your blog today…maybe I am standing in sand today….but knowing that I will find rock soon. And yes, it is so true that God seems to whispers when Fear is screaming, but I know that if I go to a quieter place inside my heart and calm the noise inside my head, I can listen to that loving whisper…I just have to take that first step and stop complaining about being stck in the sand.
Loved your input today. God bless you!!
Not posting today, just dropping in for a Tuesday hello. I hope your weekend was lovely, that your Mother’s Day was very good.

Hi Emily! It’s my second week linking up and my first from my new WordPress location. I can’t wait to check out InCourage!

Hi Emily,
I just realised, when I came back here to go visit some other unwrappers, that I hadn’t even left you a message to say hi. I don’t know if you remember me, but I am a longtime lurker and the worst comment-leaver.
Just wanted to cheer you on about the final stages of your book writing process. I only wrote one book, my PhD thesis, and I can surely relate to all the fear and anxiety and insecurity that goes with putting all those words to paper.
I am sure your book will turn out great and a blessing to many. Your blog is such an obvious testament to your writing skills, that your book can never be anything less than wonderful.
Thanks for all your inspiration and your kind and quiet words I so often carry with me through the day. I am glad I had a post I felt that was worthy of your Tuesday’s Unwrapped. I hope you will agree.

better late than never, I figure.
I haven’t been part of Tuesdays for too long now.
