Today, on this Monday - start of the work week and crazy day for moi - I have the sweet and lovely Brooke from Covered in Grace, taking over and linking up with her weekly party. Take it away, lady!
~*~
It's time for another Monday Meet Up!
Hello new friends!! I'm so happy to be blog swapping with Jackie today and to get the opportunity to meet you all.
My name is Brooke, and I blog over at Covered in Grace.
There, I write about life as a mother, student, military wife, photog
wannabe, writer and Jesus lover. You can find Jackie over at my blog today; be sure to head on over and check out her post!
For those of you that don't know me yet, I thought I'd answer a few questions about myself so yall could get to know me a little better.
1. How did you come up with the title of your blog?
Covered in Grace was something that had been rolling around in my head for a while. I had been blogging at My Beautiful Brooke for a long time, and while I was ok with the title, "beautiful" because HE sees me, it still wasn't sitting well with me-not completely. Covered in Grace encompasses what I believe, how I live, and pretty sums it all up. I am Covered in Grace through faith in Jesus.
2. If there was one blog post that you'd direct your readers to, what would that be?
Oh man, I'd direct you to any of my faith posts, but right now, the one that I love so much, that really tugs on my heartstrings right now is "...all summer long." You can also see a branch off of that post at From the Guest Room.
3. What is your go-to quick fix meal when you've
Ha! Pancakes? Biscuits with eggs? Anything breakfast!
4. What is something you're looking forward to this coming summer?
I'm finally going back home to Texas for a visit!! I have been stuck on this rock in the Pacific for two and a half years (without leaving) and I am sooo excited to finally head out for a little bit. My little brother is getting married! And I'll finally get to see my niece! Woo!
5. Do you have any goofy talents or specialties?
Why, yes. Yes I do. I can make a siren sound by throat-chopping myself. It's very, very awesome. I think I'll do a vlog to demonstrate. Stay tuned!
6. If you could be a character from any book through out the entire story, what book-what character?
Oh, that's easy. No question. I would be Claire Beauchamp Randall Fraser...wife of Jamie Fraser. (oooh la la) She's the heroine in the best books ever....the Outlander series. If you haven't read these books, YOU MUST! These are the books I recommend over all others.
7. What is the best piece of blogging advice that you've ever received?
Be yourself. Write about what you want, feel, believe. And don't worry about the numbers.
To grow old with my husband. But after that...it's to become a published author...to just be a writer and have my words reach the masses.
9. What is your favorite Saturday morning like?
Waking up whenever, breakfast with the family, heading outside to be in this gorgeous Hawaiian weather...
10. Why do you blog?
I blog to practice my craft. To use my gifts. To reflect on my spirituality and faith. I blog to glorify God. To share my favorite things. To network with others. To maintain daily writing habits. I blog because it has become a fantastic hobby...and because I love it.
I would love it if you'd stop by and visit me from time to time!

Hi Jackie! My name is Kim from Singledou[b]t. I too live in NYC. I live in Washington Heights so practically another state ;) I loved reading your post over at Covered in Grace. I too am not a fan of tourists... I mean they are necessary to our fair city's economy but seriously... they need a class in how to walk before they cross the river... I've actually been thinking of dedicating an entire post to Rules/Hints to maneuvering around the city without getting killed by locals.
Hey girl! Found you through Covered in Grace. I live right outside of NYC (in West Essex County - NJ)! It's so funny that you don't like tourists. I've only lived here for 2 years (orig. from Boston) and I even snort at tourists - yet I'm kind of one of them? Oh well ;)
Hey there!! Found you over at Covered in Grace! So nice to meet you! We live in NYC as well (Washington Heights) so hello neighbor! :) So nice to meet you. Following you now too! :)
Hi Jackie!
Congrats on being featured on Monday Meet up. I now follow, have a great week!
