Why am I telling you this? Well, as of January I set out some lofty bloggy goals. I was determined. I challenged myself to think outside the box. DREAM BIG! I did just that and started to really network {surprise. surprise}. I met some incredible women who answered a gazillion questions. I taught myself an overwhelming amount of information on HTML and Adobe Photoshop. I gave my blog a mini makeover. I spear headed an incredibly successful series and hosted an incredible week of giveaways, thanks to some of my amazing family and friends.
And do you know what?
I’m glad I did! I’ve learned how much I {love} blogging, how much I {love} my readers and that I want to be of help to others in their bloggy adventures. I’d like to know that I’ll make a small difference one way or another. I may never be the next Tatertots and Jello {because we all know that Jen is pretty darn awesome}, but maybe I can be your cheerleader. Maybe in sharing my experiences and journey — you’ll find inspiration, encouragement and I’ll make you {giggle} every now and again. Maybe I’ll touch a few lives by reminding you to pursue your passion and {love} what you do. DREAM BIG and celebrate your victories. Today I’m celebrating one of mine!
I {heart} this song. It makes me {smile}. Listen and be inspired!
Today I am feeling overwhelmingly BLESSED and I just had to share that with you!

02/25/2012 at 11:40 amAwesome! Your blog networking event coupled with a giveaway I took part in recently has boosted my followers/fans as well. However, I've surprisingly noticed a decrease in comments. Four posts now with now love. Oh the irony! I'm glad your adventures are proving to be rewarding!
