The Ultimate Blog Party Was Great!

I had the most wonderful time during this year's Ultimate Blog Party. My party post has over 150 comments on there and 65 persons received the free copy of my newly released ebook - Insanely Simple! Salads For Beginning The Raw Food Journey when they signed up at the Insanely Simple! Salads site.  I met lots of wonderful bloggers and had a blast. I just want to highlight some of the happenings of my partying.

There were so many great bloggers that I met. I just can't list them all but know that just being able to visit your part of blogland has blessed me with encouragement that we are doing our best as women.  There is so much more going on at Fruitful Vine.  We now have a newsletter where more information on healthy living, raw foods etc will be sent to your inbox.  Most of the newsletter content will not be shared on this blog or the Fruitful Vine Facebook Page.  Also the information to be shared on the Facebook page will be exclusive to that page as well and not shared either on this blog or in the newsletter.  Get the full Fruitful Vine experience and click LIKE(no longer called Become a Fan) to become part of the Fruitful Vine Community on Facebook and sign up below to get our exclusive newsletter content sent to your inbox.  I am looking forward to connecting, sharing and learning as we walk this healthy journey together.  Don't miss out!  Come join me and others now.

It's gonna be a blast! And the great thing is you don't even need to have a blog to participate. Twitterers, Facebookers, anyone can participate. There are cool prizes to be won and lots of people to meet.

To all of you visiting from the Ultimate Blog Party, WELCOME! to my corner of the blogosphere. I am first and foremost a Christian(a believer, follower and disciple of Jesus Christ), secondly I am a wife and then a mother. I became a Christian at age 19. Married my husband in 2001 when I was 28. Moved to New Orleans to be with him while he finished seminary. Moved to St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands in 2003 to pastor a church there(my husband doing the pastoring of course(smile)). Moved back home to Dominica in October 2007. We have 2 boys, Judah 7yrs and Jeremiah 6yrs. We always get asked if they are twins. They have the same birthday, September 16 but different years. My husband likes to call it strategic planning(by God of course).

I love reading, blogging and minstering to ladies of all ages. I am vegetarian and very passionate about raw foods and natural health. I love taking pictures. I love nature and I love travelling. I've been to Antigua, Barbados, St. Lucia, St. Kitts, St. Maarten, St. Thomas, Trinidad, St. Croix, St. John, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, New Jersey, New York, Louisiana and Puerto Rico. I have lived in several different places - New Orleans, Orlando, New York, St. Thomas and of course my homeland Dominica.

I am an introvert by nature slowly being converted by my extrovert of a husband. I have a passion to see young ladies thrive and I teach a young adults Sunday School class at church whenever my husband and I are not off preaching where the Lord opens doors of opportunities. I am a pastor's wife and I homeschool our two boys as well. I am also one of the moderators of the Natural HS Mommas group on The Homeschool Lounge and operate the Fruitful Vine Page on Facebook. I enjoy tweeting and my twitter id is Fruitfulvine2.

Ultimate Blog Party

It's party time! Get your blog notice. Meet new people. Make some new friends. It's the Ultimate Blog Party going on at www.5minutesformom.com. There are prizes to be won. Lots of fun. Take a break and join the party. Click on the banner at the top of the page and follow the instructions.

To all the party people: Welcome to my blog. this is my space to tell about my home, my life, my journey as a homemaker, homeschooling mom, pastor's wife and all the other hats I wear. Feel free to look around. Read up on past posts. Leave helpful links foradding cool stuff to my blog if you wish. Tell me what you would like me to post about. Say anything you like. Just let me know you stopped by. Hoping to make some new friends.

A little about myself: I love taking pictures. My hubby calls me the paparazzi(did I spell/say that right?). I have been on the blog scene from last year. It's been a learning experience. I becam addicted to the whole blog thing very quickly. The Lord convicted me so I cut down my blog reading list to about 15 regulars.

I love reading(that's really an understatement). I have a passion for books. You can find me reading 4-5 books a month sometimes. Where do I find the time? While waiting for church service to start, on the toilet(pardon my graphic expression to the sensitive ones who are reading this), while waiting for my husband after church service is over, waitin in line at the Post Office, Bank, Credit Union etc., a few minutes before bed, and anytime that becomes available. Since it's my passion, the first chance I get I pick up on of my books.

I became a Christian at age 19. Married my husband in 2001 when I was 28. Moved to New Orleans to be with him while he finished seminary. Moved to St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands in 2003 to pastor a church there(my husband doing the pastoring of course(smile)). Moved back home to Dominica in October 2007. We have 2 boys, Judah 5yrs and Jeremiah 4yrs. We always get asked if they are twins. They have the same birthday, September 16 but different years. My husband likes to call it strategic planning(of course we know it's God who did the planning).

I hope you stop by again for a visit and leave a comment or two. Enjoy the rest of the party visiting other blogs.
