Hi everybody! There’s Martin going to town over here. Someone at the hangar mentioned “winter in the tire house”, and BANG. He was a crowbar operating machine. More on all of our progress later.
One year ago, I was nervously preparing for the German integration exam in Berlin, Germany. I was still overcoming little language victories – trying to return something at the store, answering the telephone.
I was also stepping back, listening to my heart, and asking that age old question: “Now what?!”
My writing prompt journal shop was a fun little side business I was doing on etsy. The responses I was receiving were humble and beautiful. Stories were being recorded. Lives were being celebrated.
This week has been so exciting and busy around here. I just have to pause and say thank you. A really, really big thank you at that!
Remember the Gadanke giveaway for $30 in shop credit? You know – for putting a Gadanke button on your blog? The response just completely humbled me, you guys!
My grandma says the best gifts are the kind you can eat!
She also thinks that chocolate from Europe is the cat’s meow.
So I thought I’d give you some.
These chocolates from Germany are my all-time favorites. If you feel like shopping for something at Gadanke, you can have German chocolates. How cool is that?
Spend $35 and get two mini chocolates (36 grams or 1 1/4 oz). Write FREECHOCOLATE in the note to seller at checkout.
Here’s a little something to love today.
