The Loft is open, come on up!

#TheLoft
The Loft is the place for conversation, community, networking, and Christian growth. Each week we provide a topic to start the conversation.
Then, Monday night, at 9pm Eastern, the link goes live and all week you can link up your post on that week’s topic.
We’ll have fun topics, serious topics, practical, soul-ful, holiday, and so, so much more…we can’t wait to get started! This is not only a great way to connect with others, it’s also a fun and easy way to establish a writing habit. If you aren’t a blogger, you are welcome to join in by leaving your comments in the comment section.
Listening is a lost art. Especially in the blogosphere where everyone wants to be heard. At The Loft, we know that listening is rewarding and rich… surprisingly so. So grab your coffee mug and come on up. Hang out for a bit. We betcha you’ll be glad you did.
To Participate:
1. Be creative. Feel free to use words, photos, video, audio, your family pet, whatever, to communicate on the weekly topic.
2. Listen twice as much. If you leave one link, visit two. Trust us on this one~wink.
3. Be a community. Include #TheLoft graphic and hashtag in your post and social media so we can find each other. Also, share the great stuff you find when you visit around…we’ll be doing the same.
When you link up at The Loft, your link will appear on 6 blogs! We’d love for you to visit The Loft co-hosts and know who we are:
Leah
Kathy
Arabah
Jen

Now it’s time to link up! Today is our FIRST EVER link-up! We want to get to know each other and begin making relationships, thus this week’s topic:
This Week’s Topic: “I am…” (finish the sentence, introduce yourself, share your passions, experiences, maybe tell us a few odd facts, or just link to your “About” page. We’re all ears!)
Next Week’s Topic:“Blogs that Inspire” (tell us what blogs or websites you go to for inspiration and what makes them attractive. Hey, wouldn’t it be cool if someone mentions yours after finding you today?)

Thanks for the link-up! I am the sibling of a special needs child. I was blessed to see my parents demonstrate love, self-sacrifice ad devotion every day of my life as they tended to my special needs sister. God has used that experience to give me a heart of compassion for all parents, but especially parents of special needs children. I have been married for 35 years and also enjoy sharing my insights into what builds lasting marriages. God is good!

Anita, what a blessing you are right now! Our son has had a “flare up” of his issues - meaning that right now, he’s back to not really sleeping, and barely eating because he’s emotionally upset about something, or not feeling well - he can’t tell us for sure. Tempers are short around here due to that lack of sleep, but we’re trying our best and working to love first and work out the details of all the struggles as we’re able. You’re a blessing, just by your kind, caring words here! Thank you!
