1 Year Blogiversary and a Giveaway!



A year ago today I published my first blog post on here! Sure, I signed up for this blog before that date, but that doesn't count! Reading it again just reiterates my mission statement or goal in my blog. Here's an exert from that post I was talking about how I had self-induced writer's block and why.

I want so badly to be “real” that I can’t seem to actualize my realness. Not sure if that makes sense to anyone but myself. But it feels like I am trapped inside myself and am unable to find the key. So here I go. On my journey to discover the key. Thanks for joining me on my adventure called life.


 


My goal was and still is to be authentic and real in each word I write. And my hope is that I am accomplishing that.


I've made so many great blogger friends! I'm loving getting to know many of them through their blogs, twitter, and snail mail! Every comment leaves a smile on my face, so thank-you for taking the time to check out my blog!


To celebrate this momentous occasion and to say thank-you to my readers, I'm giving away a blue bird nest necklace!!  I have a blue one in my shop but it's a little different from this one!
