The creative mind behind my favorite craft fairs and Craftcation has recently started sharing pep talks on her morning walks. Today I opened Instagram to find myself mentioned in her Story! What a warm feeling!

I am honored that a crafty professional I admire has found inspiration in my #OneGoodThing daily posts. I didn’t expect this blogging project to last this long, but this is the 9th year. Loyal readers, I hope it has also helped you seek out something good even on your challenging, messy days.

Today’s #OneGoodThing with Mama is a pep talk shoutout from the CEO of Dear Handmade Life Nicole Stevenson! Thanks, Nicole! What was your #OneGoodThing today? Please share in the comments! And remember, kindness is everything!
