Coffee Date: Ginny Marie of Lemon Drop Pie

Ginny Marie has been an inspirational part of our Bigger Picture Blogs community. Memorably, she participated this past October during our first-ever Write Pink: From the Head, Heart and Feet carnival to raise awareness for breast cancer. A breast-cancer survivor, she is passionate about raising awareness through writing and action. Her thoughtful, honest, slice-of-life Bigger Picture Moments are often thought-provoking and rich, making it a blessing to read her thoughts, and her genuine encouragement of others on the journey of intentional living is  much appreciated.

Ginny Marie lives in suburbia in a major metropolitian area with her husband and two beautiful little girls.

What the Bigger Picture Picture Blogs community has meant to her:

“’Tis a gift to be simple,’ so the Shaker folksong goes. Put simply, being a part of Bigger Picture Blogs makes me want to write.
As I read about the beauty of tall grasses seen from a car window, I want to write.
As I gaze at photo taken of a child’s muddy footprint, I want to write.
As I reflect on others’ writings, I want to write.
And if I write half as well as the other members of this community, then I am pleased.
Out of all the thousands of blogs out there – snarky blogs, blogs that use excessive swearing, blogs that are super critical of everything — I’m glad that I found such a positive community.
It seems like a simple thing, this community, and it is…a simple thing that makes up the Bigger Picture. I’m glad to be a part of it.”
