After the completion of the A-Z April Blogging Challenge this week, my friend Pauleen , who also participated in the A To Z Challenge, published a post about her A to Z Themes to Date. I thought his was a great idea and an opportunity to reflect on the many themes I’ve had for this challenge, throughout the years, over four blogs.
I first participated in this challenge in 2015. In 2016 and 2022, I did the challenge on two blogs - and my goodness, that was hard work and a definitely challenge. Below are my themes for each year so far.
