🍁THE DAISY CHAIN VISION🍁

Inspire yourself, your sister, your daughter, or youth/homeschool group with a magazine that allows girls to see how wild and wonderful not being of this world (even in what fiction we enjoy) can be. The Daisy Chain aims to point girls to The Author, encourage their roots to sink deep in His soil, and grow tall & unshakeable in their identity in Him, all with the heart-knowledge that there are far more kindred spirits out there than they ever dared to pray.

🍁Praise for The Pilot Edition🍁

"I'm not even in the age group and I feel *uplifted*! "

—Lola May, blogger and author of "A Storm Inside Her"

"Highly recommended as a resource for girls in home/unschooled families— and all the more for students in the public/private school system..."

—Stephanie of "Stephanie's Ninth Suitcase" blog

🍁A Thank You🍁

Story Blossoms would like to wave the biggest banner of course to GOD, without whom this magazine, nor our lives, would be possible. It is my prayer that every word in this magazine would be warm with His love for you, and deliver more than anything else a sense of His realness and nearness in every external change.

Of course, being vessels for this project with me are all the Epic and Wonderful Backers!! The coziest thank-you and hugs to everyone who bought a coffee (or several!), spread the word, or prayed. You have been more a part of this journey than you know

🍁Got questions?🍁
