R for Ready!

With the A to Z Challenge, there are two times to get yourself ready. The obvious one is before it starts. The less obvious one is after it ends. Now is the time to get ready for May 1, the day after it ends.

What am I talking about?

• For one thing, you'll want to figure out which new blogs you're going to follow and set them up in your feed reader, or subscribe to their blog by email.
• You'll also want to start planning your Reflections post: How you did with your posts, how you did reading other posts, how well you handled comments, and one or two outstanding blogs you read during the Challenge.
• And, you might want to give some thought to the blogs you didn't have a chance to read, which might lead you to consider the A to Z Road Trip. Details on that to follow.

Enjoy the rest of the Challenge!

Q for Quality

One thing I've noticed, not just this year but in years past, is the quality of the posts for this blog hop. Maybe because everyone wants to impress the others, maybe because participants spend a lot of time before April 1 preparing their posts for the month, maybe it's the work people put into developing their themes, or maybe it's just because this is one heck of a fun blog hop. I've often said that the A to Z Challenge is the highlight of my blogging year, not just because of what I write, but because of what I read. This year has been another great year for that reason.

I don't know about you, but I'm already looking forward to next year. And you're the reason. Thank you!

Perfection #AtoZChallenge2025

Our team theme this year is our blogging community, gratitude, or being grateful for our blogging community.

In the online world, there is immense pressure on everyone to be perfect. To be the best, the most visible, the most engaging, the most liked. With more and more social media platforms competing for attention, it often feels impossible to stand out in a crowd, to create and share something we are passionate about without feeling inadequate, unheard. Challenges like A to Z are not only challenges - they are also a chance to have a community that pays attention. Visits, comments, and says I am curious about what you have to say, I am here, I hear you.

Today's letter is a reminder that perfection is not what will make you worthy of attention. And feeling like you are drowned out doesn't mean what you do is not important. Perfection is pressure. Find your people, and your community will help you accept the imperfections!
