YOU ROCK!!!

Today we celebrate a milestone!  A big thank you to all the readers and followers of ‘Bliss and Blisters’, you all have inspired and motivated me much. I have made some great friends! Am truly grateful for your support, pleasant comments, meaningful words and appreciation.  The appreciation is however all mine, for all of you who are following my work, spreading and blogging my posts. 3,000 page views with just 8 posts is truly beyond what I was expecting to have and it really blows my mind away to see how many of you are visiting my blog daily especially in 2014! THANK YOU!

A special thanks to a number of friends and family members who pushed me into blogging. You know yourselves. Turns out it was the best peer pressure I ever bowed to! I love the institution of marriage. Within the one year of marriage I have cried, laughed, fought, made peace, let go, had to learn to always think about someone else (other than 'I') in all I do……. all in all it still remains one of the most fulfilling years of my life. I have been loved on, taken care of, constantly encouraged, had someone to walk with through everything and above all I have had to grow up by leaps and bounds….. spiritually, emotionally and even PHYSICALLY.

They say there is no need to re-invent the wheel so if through our marriage experiences we can save others from having to learn ‘the hard way’, then we are willing to be vulnerable with you all. This is why this blog exists. Secondly, there are these dear friends, whom, Hun and I are forever grateful to God for making our paths cross. They have invested and continue to invest in our marriage, and seeing the difference it makes in our lives…… we cannot help but wish the same for everyone within our circle of influence.

I would also like to take the opportunity to thank HUN - my Husband, my Dear-heart: Even though we sometimes drive each other up the wall, I thank God for we always slither back down through forgiveness, into each other's arms.... work in progress is what we are. Thank you for being my editor and much appreciation for allowing me to share our imperfect lives with the world. I love you Byron Osiro.

To God - Author of Marriage: You created man and then thought it was not good for him to be alone and so you created him a companion (Gen 2:18-22). Thank you for using a broken vessel like me to communicate your idea of marriage – even as we too try to find our way there.
