Wow. Was that an amazing challenge or what? I had such a blast visiting everyone's blogs and learning so many amazing things. It was also a wonderful experience sharing my true life heroes with everyone--finding inspiration, encouragement, and something to aspire for. Thank you to everyone who shared your heroes with me.
If you missed it, you can read about it all here:
I've been thinking about compiling these into an inspirational book. What do you say? Yes, no?
Did you follow along for the challenge? Did you have a favorite hero post?
You've done an awesome job at this challenge, Crystal! I made it through the letter U, but lost my steam toward then end. But that gave me time to catch up on yours! Great job.
ReplyDeleteOh man! U is so close to the end! Well, at least you made it that far.
DeleteCongrats on finishing! That is amazing.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Connie.
DeleteAnyone who completes the A-Z challenge is a hero in their own right. :-) Inspiring posts, Crystal.
ReplyDeleteLOL. You're awesome, Barbara.
DeleteYou had so much great information--so much research that I never would've known! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you enjoyed them, Loni.
DeleteYes!! Put them into book form. Make it so.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a good time with the Challenge.
Okay, I will. Soon...ish.
DeleteI think that would make a great inspirational book. I loved the A to Z Challenge but I'm glad things are getting back to normal. There was a lot of blogging going on in April!
ReplyDeleteSo true! I missed so much but met some amazing bloggers too.
DeleteWow, you are so very organized and determined! Sure a book of heroes, why not? Add mentors to it and you'd have a truly helpful book.
ReplyDeleteToo true.
DeleteYes to the inspirational book! Your posts were wonderful and that is a fantastic idea.
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks Julie.
DeleteI didn't get to read all of your AtoZ posts, but from what I saw, I vote YES!. :D

My A to Z Reflections
That post was pretty epic, but just because I have such amazing family members. I'm blessed.
DeleteYou should totally make it into a book!

ReplyDeleteI think putting them all together in a book is a terrific idea.
Thanks, Lynda. I think I'll do that.
DeleteHi human, Crystal,
ReplyDeleteApawlogies for not getting here sooner. Celebrity diva dawgs like me lead such hectic lives.
I liked your one about Leonardo. He's my favourite Ninja Turtle. Not to be confused with that Captain Ninja type dude.
Well done on surviving the alternative challenge. You did well and I shall send you some real cheese as in British cheese. Arf!
Pawsitive wishes,
Penny, the cordial host of The Alphabark Challenge, 2014! :)
LOL! Well if it isn't Penny, the modest superstar. I'll take that British cheese, with thanks!
DeleteI'm going with V as my fave. Love Vivaldi. Great to see all of your posts in a list. Wow! and Wow!
