Day 1 {courage}

I’m so delighted that you are visiting my blog here at the beginning of my very FIRST 31Day Writing Challenge for October. I am so excited to begin exploring the idea of gathering with you as I blog each day this month. Are you excited?

[gath -er-ing] 

noun

1. an assembly or meeting.

2. an assemblage of people; group or crowd.

3. a collection, assemblage, or compilation of anything.

5. something that is gathered together.

6. a gather or a series of gathers in cloth.
