Hi there Peeps!
Hope you are gearing up for a great weekend!
I have a little request, just wanna see if something can be done….
It’s my biggie birthday (40! Eeeeek!) soon, in a couple of weeks, and I was thinking to myself how great a present it would be to hit 1000 followers on WP by then… (I’m a couple away from 900 at the moment…)
This is where you, my lovely Peeps, come in.
Could you share/re blog this post, and see how many new followers I can get, and see whether I can hit that target?
(But only if you wanna!)
Foor those contemplating hitting that ‘Follow’ button, let me tell you a bit about me… I’m a mum, wife, daughter, teacher…. Heck I’m a woman!
My mission in life is to keep smiling, and to hopefully bring smiles to your life too.
I like to post about all sorts of things, you’ll find anecdotes, quotes, my thoughts and opinions, fiction and poetry, recipes and my beloved kitty Sonu.
I’ve had feedback that it’s a good ride to be on… Would you like to join us?
Thank you Peeps!
Big love!
But I Smile Anyway...

I think, if you try and get conversations going on some of the blogs you follow, they are more inclined to then comment on what you are writing about, which in turn can start a conversation!
how are you feeling, by the way? I just saw you had surgery!

There’s this amazing blog, written by this amazing person called Ritu. If you have not yet visited ‘But I Smile anyway…’ please do. It’s totally worth it.
Now Ritu has a big birthday coming up. The big 4… And she is just 100 followers shy of hitting the 1000 mark. How about we all bond together and surprise her with a little birthday gift and help her reach the 1000 follower mark? I promise, if you are not following yet and decide to follow you won’t regret it!

Ohhhhhh, the big 4-0. I was there a year and a half ago. I’ve seen you over at Rob’s Blog, but after Harmonie’s reblog I thought I should finally take the plunge and see who this ‘Ritu’ is.
Yeah, you’re from India? I have been twice. Once back in 2000 in Calcutta, Darjeeling and Pedong. And then I lived in Jaipur in 2008 for almost three months, while my hubby was doing a media course.
And wow! I’m all the same things you are too – mom, daughter, teacher, woman. Hehehe.
Nice to meet you Ritu.
