6 Year Blogiversary

January 5, 2021 By Ruthie Ridley 17 Comments

Ruthie Ridley Blog 6 Year Blogiversary
If you had told me 6 years ago that eventually this blog would be my full time job, I would have laughed in your face. I am STILL in complete SHOCK that I was able to leave my job as a registered nurse last fall to go blogging full time. I will be honest with you all, I am living the dream. My heart is truly bursting with gratitude that I am where I am.
It is always an absolute privilege to do what you love for a living. This does not come without hours, and days and years of hard work, but it is worth it!! They always say that there is no such thing as overnight success and I could not agree more. Hard work is required for success, but when you are able to reap the benefits the reward is so sweet.
As we head into another year of blogging in this space, I wanted to say a huge thank you for being here with me. If you were not here with me, I could not do this. You are all so loyal, faithful and so so kind. This year my hope is to continue to bring you inspiring, creative, uplifting content. May God bless you all over and over and over again.

    Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering
    if you knew of any widgets I could add to my blog
    that automatically tweet my newest twitter updates.
    I’ve been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this.
    Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.

    Howdy this is kind of of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG
    editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.
    I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding expertise so
    I wanted to get advice from someone with experience.
    Any help would be enormously appreciated!

Hi friends 😌Wow… this week hit me like a ton Hi friends 😌Wow… this week hit me like a ton of bricks, as I’m sure it has for many of you. I can’t find the words truly. As a mom, a daughter, a wife and a friend - I cannot begin to fathom the pain that these families are experiencing from the most recent tragedy that took place in Texas. All I have been able to feel is grief. 

As I was processing with a friend this week I asked her a few hard questions. She had lost her best friend / husband to a devastating accident some years ago. I said “Do people ever ask you how you still follow Jesus and don’t blame him for what happened!?” She said “All the time. Jesus didn’t make this happen but He allowed my husband to come home” I was awestruck by this response. Evil truly has been rampant from the beginning of time. 

She went on to say “I could have turned my back on Jesus but then what? I would’ve ended up with nothing. God doesn’t promise us a life without pain, heartache and grief, but He does promise to walk with us through it all and will never leave us nor forsake us.” 

That was exactly what I needed to hear. I’ve been a woman of faith since I was 15 years old & I’m still growing, learning, asking hard questions. I have been clinging to my only hope this week- Jesus Christ. There is no other alternative for me. I’m sure one fine day… He will explain it all to me. Swipe left to read the most beautiful/ perfectly stated prayer this week by @cleerelystated 🙏🏾. Sending so much love and prayers to the families affected and to you all as well ❤️🙏🏾❤️

Never leaving home without my @dove deodorant . Te Never leaving home without my @dove deodorant . Tell me I’m not the only one who sometimes forgets to put deodorant on in the morning as I’m rushing out the door. A few fun facts about why I’m obsessed with this NEW antiperspirant!! It uses a water based technology that has 6 times more Glycerin vs Dove Advanced Care! This means the formula is extremely hydrating and soothing !! Ladies just like we take care of our faces - it’s important to take care of our underarms! BEST part- you can expect 48 hours of sweat and odor free underarms!!
