What would you do if you were told you had 15 months to live?
I meet some pretty amazing ladies blogging! I meet one last week, Heather Von St. James.
Her tenacity and view of the world through rose-colored glasses inspires me! Each November, the month she was diagnosed with a deadly cancer, she gets the dreaded "November Blues". Heather overcomes the blues by focusing on things she enjoys like the first frost, the first snowfall and the beautiful holiday lights. I think we all could learn from Heather's positive outlook.
This November, I want to share her story to help her raise awareness of Mesothelioma. I'm thankful for Heather who hangs on to Hope and never lets go. I feel a connection to her because we have both struggled, stepped up to the plate with all the grit we could muster and kicked a birth defect and an illness right where it hurts. Heather's story is one of courage and love. Her take-away from her challenge is
Watch a video about Heather, a courageous Mother, Wife and an 8-year Survivor of Mesothelioma. What would you do if you were told you had 15 months to live? Share your thoughts by leaving a comment. I'd love to hear your story and your hope. What has helped you overcome struggles in your own life?
Please show Heather your support by sharing her story via the social media buttons in this post. You can also watch my story here.

This month I'm thrilled to introduce Tammy from The Happy Handicap as my co-host!
The question I hate. What is your niche? Truth is I don't have one. I love everything and most things make me happy. I can become passionate (in a hurry) on almost any subject. In my clumsy world you'll find blogs about almost everything and anything. I live life to "stay out of the box", please don't put me in one! Boxes are usually small, cramped and hard to breathe in.
Okay, friends, here's how this is going to work:
- Please grab a button below and post in your linked up posts or in your sidebar. This will help our linky grow and get YOU more views!
- Follow your host (that's me) and your co-host in one form or fashion.
- Link up to 3 posts from September only. OR link up one post with links to your September posts within that linked post.
- Give us a shout-out on Twitter using #MonthlyReviewLinkup and we'll be sure to see your posts!
- Check back next month to see if you're featured. We will feature four posts every month. If you are featured, feel free to grab a featured button and wear that baby with pride on your sidebar!
- If you'd like to co-host, email me!
Let's do this!
Since this is our first link up, I'm going to share with you 2 of my favorite posts that Tammy posted in September.
As a fellow short girl, I really appreciated the post where Tammy talked about hugging short girls. I also enjoyed when she talked about How to Cook and Clean at the Same Time! It was really tough to just choose two posts. Tammy cracks me up every time I read her blog because she's so funny without even trying to be! Thanks for co-hosting my first link-up, Tammy!
I will also highlight two of my own posts each month. Here are the two from September I want to make sure you don't miss!
[gallery type="rectangular" ids="407,565"]
Biblical & Creative Correction was my most popular post ever, so if you haven't read it yet, go see what all the fuss is about.
My Secret Ingredient Oatmeal Cookies were a hit over at Love, Pasta and a Toolbelt. Thanks, Emily, for letting me take over your space for a day!
Now, let's party, shall we? Link up your posts below. I look forward to reading them all!

The Dearest Award
I can't remember being awarded anything...EV-VER! Imagine my surprise when I received a tweet asking me if I had checked my blog comments. My first reaction (truthfully) was "What a pushy commenter!" I was busy at the moment but the more I thought about it, I just had to look. My opinion immediately changed about this particular comment. I soon thought "What a Sweetheart!"
An overwhelming thanks to sweet Alma at A Conquered Mess who nominated me for the Liebster Award. She is a beginner blogger like me. She amazes me with her goals setting, aspiring to be an RN and to run miles & miles. Looking for quality deets about parenting how-to's, sewing, hiking, laughing or lots of other things dealing with everyday life from a mom of two boys, she's your go-to girl.
I am cheesing while accepting this award. The rules for accepting the award are simple:
1. Link back to the one who nominates you
2. Answer the 10 questions the nominator has for you
3. Nominate 5-11 bloggers with less than 200 followers
4. Create 10 questions for your nominees
5. Notify your nominees
The
questions Alma asked me are the following:
1. What do you hope to achieve with your blog? Definitely a voice! I would love for folks to enjoy reading my heart splashed on a page and maybe pick up some inspiration or a bit of knowledge from my blog.
2. If you could have any job in the world, which one would you want? I visited London this summer and was intrigued by the Monarchy. Queen of England, if but for a day, seems like an awesome occupation! I would love to get my hands on those Crown Jewels I stood in line for two hours to see.
3. If your life were a movie, what would it be called? The Odd Life of The Happy Handicap
4. What was your most prized possession as a child, as a teenager, and now?As a child, my red Huffy bicycle my Dad taught me to ride and take care of. As a teen, my pink Huffy 10-speed I bought myself with money earned from cleaning my Grandpa's house. Now? I don't have any possessions I prize. I've learned love is the most valuable thing anyone can have and it's not really a possession because it's free.
5. Who do you admire the most? My family. My husband Steve. Daughters Sydnee and Sloane. My son-in-law Trey. My Mom Juanita and Dad Clyde. I'm expecting my first grandchild in November 2013. She'll probably be the one I admire the most ;)
6. If there were a holiday in your honor, what would it celebrate? People who don't stare.
7. What is in your purse right now? Tell me EVERYTHING! Not much! A "31" cloth wallet with the usuals, a coordinating "31" manicure set, a couple of ink pens, allergy pills and a Klonopin...all in a "31" bag!
9. If you were a color, what color would you be and why? I would probably be green. Green is full of life, a neutral that agrees with everything, bold and firm.
10. What do you like the least about yourself? That I refuse to sell myself. I'm just me, the way God designed me. So much to offer and it's free but I have a hard time making myself jump through the hoop to get center ring in the circus!
My nominees are:
Nat D. @ Nat's Adventures in Baking
Shelly @ Minettes Maze
Annette @ A Well-Watered Garden
Andrea @ Cloud Nine Chic
Nicki @ Sweet Parrish Place
Amber @ Always Blabbing
Here's your questions:
1. How long have you been blogging?
2. If you won the Powerball Lottery, what would you do with the money?
3. How did you meet your spouse?If unmarried, how do you dream of meeting them?
4. Which do you like best? Bake, Broil or Fry and Why?
5. Do you have a pet?
6. How often do you rearrange your furniture?
7. What is your favorite beverage?
9. Describe a self-portrait you would paint. What does it look like?
10. What's the best vacation you've ever taken?
Ready, set, go! Answers away!

Meet Kathy W. Mashburn, Author of "A Birthday Clown for Archer"
This adorable clown face is on a page in Kathy's new book A Birthday Clown for Archer. Kathy is an intriguing lady with a sweet smile and warm spirit. Kathy and I attended Murray County High School together (no dates required). We share a passion for writing, our faith and love for our families. I want you to get to know Kathy as I do and I know you'll love her too. You can buy her book by clicking the link of the title above. I'll give you Kathy's contact info later, after our interview, because I know you'll want to contact her for your own special reason.
Kathy, what or who inspired you to write?
I began
writing in the fifth grade when my teacher, Mrs. Brannock, gave an assignment to keep a daily journal about something going on in our
lives. Handing me a thin red spiral notebook to write in, she couldn't have
known the profound impact it would have on me in years to come. That simple
wire-bound notebook became a bible of sorts to me as I captured my every
thoughts, ideas, and dreams inside its pages.
In high school, Dr. Peggy Quarles further inspired me to write. She ignited my passions instructing our class to again write daily journals. By then journaling had become a habit, and her renewed request caused an even greater appreciation in reading, writing, and storytelling in me. It is because of Dr. Quarles's encouragement and advice to write about anything and everything lurking behind the doors of my imagination, that I continue to keep pen and paper handy every day.

Are you a fulltime or
part-time writer?
I am
definitely a part-time writer, but I consider myself a writer with a fulltime
commitment. I can’t
remember a single day I have not written in my journal, or scratched out a new idea or story, or scribbled random thoughts on a napkin while dining. Writing is a part of everything I do. Most days I set my alarm clock to awake an hour earlier than I need to prepare for my full-time paid job. I enjoy writing so much I keep index cards on my nightstand to write down my dreams on the occasion I am lucky enough to remember them when I wake.

I enjoy writing so much I keep index cards on my nightstand to write down my dreams on the occasion I am lucky enough to remember them when I wake.
Where do you draw your
inspirations from?
Everywhere! Seriously, I am inspired by so many things
like people, places, my family, my friends, and news events. I am a good listener, so I pay attention to
snatches of conversations around me to get ideas. I consider this unintentional eavesdropping because
people everywhere talk openly about their lives, their pets, their jobs, etc.,
which often turns into a story or an idea for a project. I also practice really looking to see things with
a ‘curious eye’. I try to see things differently than others
might.
I’ve published three books in three
different genres. My first publication was How to Swap Batches of
Cookies and Candy with Others, plus 115 Great Recipes. This book came about for two reasons. The first was to find a way to have fun on a
budget with my family during Christmas holidays, while the other was to learn
all I could about the world of publishing.
I had been attending workshops at a local university on writing, so I
decided the best way to understand the jargon and business was to get my feet
wet.
That
brings me to the recent publication of my children’s book A Birthday Clown for Archer.
This is a simple story about a little boy who wants a clown for his
birthday, but his Mom is afraid and says, “NO WAY!” In the story Archer does his best to
convince her clowns are not scary at all.
What my readers may not know is one of my children was terrified of clowns
growing up. As parents we often imprint
our beliefs, our likes, our dislikes and our fears upon others. Since writing this book, many of my readers
have shared their personal phobias, including Coulrophobia or
“Clown-phobia.” This book is meant to
spark conversations regarding the fears and joys surrounding clowns.
I enjoy
writing in different genres just as my life has many different facets. I am currently working on an inspirational
book titled Living in the Midst of God’s
Plan, a documentary titled A Day in
the Life of Beekeeper, and two other children’s books titled Wiggy Wanda and Santa, Are You Ready? Readers can learn more about these projects
and others on my website.
What was your greatest
“Ah-ha” moment as a writer?
By far,
it is when readers turn out to see me at a book signing. I am both honored and humbled when someone
takes his or her time to visit with me.
It’s a special feeling when someone spends their money to buy my books,
especially when they request me to sign it.
That’s my favorite ah-ha moment!
Any advice for others who wish to write and be published?
I would
tell them to NEVER give up! I would also
tell them to do a test run by sharing their work with others, including their
audience. This will help them sharpen
their skills as a writer, especially since an audience is the best frontline
when it comes to gathering honest feedback.
Excited for a fellow writer and friend,
Tammy
