Spreading Sunshine
by shelbyisrad
I know this incredible girl named Jaclyn. I have never heard her voice or given her a hug or heard her laughter but she has touched my heart. And I’ve only known her a few months if that, met her in thiscrazy little blogging world. The internet is so funny that way. You can read one post and feel like you’ve found a kindred spirit or a life-long friend.
Thats how I felt the first time Jaclyn commented on one of my post and I explored her site and felt like I had found an instant friend. I of course told her she was my new bff and we struck up a friendship through blog posts and sweet comments.
She is such a light in my life, she is beautiful, smart, and kind. She is optimistic and the epitome of sunshine; all the things I hope and dream I am known as in life. She is also a very sincere and godly lady and she is a wonderful encourager. On my post from yesterday when I was feeling bleh she left me a quote
“Success is not final, failure is not fatal; it is the courage to continue that counts.” – Winston Churchill
the exact words I needed to hear to be lifted and encouraged. We have become pen pals (i owe her a letter I need to get on that) and I get SO giddy every time one of her letters come. They’re always so kind and full of sunshine.
I got that term ‘spreading sunshine’ from her and I think this is the best way I could spread some sunshine; telling you all about this beautiful friend of mine.
So go enjoy her beautiful blog and leave her some sweet comments. 
p.s. i’m thinking of turning these ‘my friends are awesome beautiful people’ post into a weekly or maybe bi-monthly feature?
Shelby, sweetie– you’ve brought tears to my eyes this morning. Your loving words really touch my heart and I could say the same things back to you. I love being friends and pen pals and getting to know your beautiful heart.
Thank you so much for blessing me this morning.
All my love <3 <3 <3
So glad I could make you smile dear!! You deserve lots of sunshine and love!! <3 <3
Co-signed. She most definitely is amazing

This is an amazing blog post! I agree — Jaclyn is filled with sunshine. I told her recently in an email that ever since she commented on my blog and we connected — that she has become a friend and I look forward to seeing what God may teach me through her blogs and comments!
Well said Shelby, her writings are beautifully written and she is indeed the epitome of sunshine. How lucky that people like this exist in the world.
