The Great & Powerful A to Z Challenge Theme Reveal!
Today is the day where A to Z participants get the opportunity to reveal their themes for the April challenge! This will be my seventh challenge…I only missed the first one.
For me, April is synonymous with the A to Z and I’m looking forward to participating again this year.

I’m posting 26 quotes. Since social media and news in recent times has been filled with so much hate and negativity, these simple reminders aim at promoting positivity and lightening up your day. The posts are SUPER SHORT (under 20 seconds to read…)
I’m also linking the challenge to We Are The World Blogfest which seeks to promote positive news. There are many cases of love and light out there, stories that show compassion and the resilience of the human spirit. Sharing these stories increases our awareness of hope in our increasingly dark world.

The IWSG is on the move! No promo. No review or beta reader requests. Just writers reading books and discussing those books with other writers.
Don’t forget to work on that Twitter Pitch sponsored by IWSG coming in July. Being in the right place at the right time is how many authors find their agent or publisher.

Have you joined the IWSG Goodreads Book Club?
Are you participating in the A to Z Challenge this year? Or will you be cheering from the sidelines?
Remember to drop by my place next month for your daily dose of inspiration.
My theme is on a similar vein. Will look forward to your posts.
Hi Michelle – that’s an excellent theme and I will be around … and joining in with the We Are the World Blogfest makes sense too … cheers and see you there – both of them! Cheers Hilary
Hi Michelle, what a GREAT post! I saved the theme reveal badge – will attempt to get it up. I also want to link mine to the WATWB …
Fabulous theme – I love positive quotes and often use them at work with my colleagues so looking forward to seeing what ones you come up with. Enjoy the crazyness of April.
Great theme! And – I’d dare say – something we really need in today’s world.
Have a fantastic challenge!

I’m hoping to get my daily dose of positivity through your theme this April! See you around.
That is a good and much-needed theme. Spread a little positive.
What a great theme! We do need more positivity in the world. I’m really looking forward to this. 🙂
We need more lightness, that’s for sure.
Positive posts are always welcomed with shortness an extra bonus.
Have a great April Challenge.

Tossing It Out Theme Revieal: It’s About Time
What a fantastic theme and so needed lately. We can always use a shot of positive thought and energy each day.
That’s a very uplifting theme!
Happy quotes are good. We can all use more happy.
Great idea! We can always use a day brightener.

Fantastic Theme! Melissa @ My Creatively Random Life
A great idea for a theme. I’m joining the We Are the World blogfest too. We all need some positivity.
What a lovely theme Michelle. I can’t wait to read your posts. Didn’t know about the IWSG book club at Goodreads. Am just hopping over to join up. I’m also very impressed that this is your 6th A to Z Challenge.
Hi Michelle!
I am really excited about the challenge, and couldn’t imagine a year without it. I agree that there needs to be more lightness in the world today, and am looking forward to reading your posts this year.

First, positive. Second, short. What’s not to like here?! Of course I’ll be back! Thanks for joining, and thanks for the invitation.
Great idea! We need a little positivity in the world!
Thumbs up on the theme – can’t wait to follow your posts.
We all could use more positive vibes these days. Good choice for a theme. Weekends In Maine | Theme Reveal
I love it, and yes, so very needed. I’m working harder than ever to keep the positive in my world on a daily basis, and the first thing I did was eliminate the television. I’m not avoiding the news as much as I am filling my life with the best instead of the worst. Music, light, and prayer!
Wishing you all the best!
Hi Michy! Your A-Z theme seems doable, not to heavy, not too light. I wish you the best. 🙂
I love your theme. Hope and light are always good themes to put out there to the world. I can’t wait to see your quotes. I haven’t signed up for the Goodreads group yet but I plan to tomorrow. Happy Monday.
That’s a great theme. Who doesn’t love quotes 🙂 Good luck!
I love quotes! Visiting from the A to Z!

That’s a lovely theme! We could all use more sunshine and kindness in the world.
Hi Michelle, I can’t believe A to Z is entering its 7th year! You are the best A to Z and IWSG cheerleader! I love the idea of daily quotes! Congrats on the IWSG Book Club! I’m impressed that you’re able to do so many things so well. Michelle! Have an amazing April!
This sounds like an uplifting theme. Looking forward to the daily motivation!
That’s a brilliant theme and I will be around, Michelle. Happy A to Z 🙂

Ugh. I’m so tired of all the negativity and fear mongering going on, so I’ll be looking forward to your theme.
I’m doing a similar theme (gratitude!). So I’m totally up for some inspiration.
Yes and yes! I didn’t do the theme reveal, but my theme is lost heroes of fantasy fiction to tie in with the Hero Lost IWSG anthology. It’s the first time I’ve tried to promo anything during A to Z so hopefully I don’t annoy anyone – trying to keep the promo side to just once a week.
I am so looking forward to April and a month of positivity. Great theme, Michelle.
I love positive quotations, I did that them last year! I also have a daily “Thought for the Day” post on my Josie Two Shoes Facebook page. The world needs more uplifting messages, thank you!

I’m not at all prepared to participate in AtoZ this year, so I decided not to do it. Instead, I’ll spend the year getting my photos ready for next year. I’ll be reading your posts, and those of my other favorite bloggers, and continue to post my theater reviews, etc. Cheers!
This sounds like a good theme. So nice and hopeful 🙂
The goodreads book club sounds good too, but I realise I have the nasty habit of ignoring groups in goodreads, so I’ll probably skip that.
I am definitely participating right now, Michelle 🙂
SO much awesomeness here!
First of all… I love your theme and commend you for countering the negativity of this world with a positive message of kindness and compassion. I look forward to reading all 26 entries – what a great way to start the day!
Secondly, I love the IWSG book club concept – and will head over to GoodReads to learn more 🙂
