Hooray! I've updated the design of RISING*SHINING! I'd love for you to click over if you're in a reader to check it out. I'm also thrilled that the site is now mobile responsive so you'll enjoy a much improved experience if you're reading on your phone or tablet.

I've been eager to give my blog a makeover for a while but it's the kind of project where I needed hours and not the usual minutes. Taking a three-day creative retreat made it possible and it is SO satisfying to have this done.

As part of the update I also did some organizing in my archives and put together a page of favorite posts. I hope you'll find it's easier to browse posts and to read on a particular topic. As I went through my posts all the way back to 2011 I felt such fondness for my little blog, for the words I've written and the people I've met. 

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR READING!
