On Mothers Day 2014 I bit the bullet and started a blog. I had no idea where this journey would lead me but I stepped out anyway and the following have been my rewards.
- I have met many new friends
- I am no longer scared of the internet
- Writing daily has helped my word order and editing skills
- I have a greater knowledge of countries around the world
- I have learnt to reach out to others by leaving a comment on their blog
- Understanding WordPress has helped me download my draft copy of my book as an e-book in Pressbooks
- I am learning to write poetry
- I am learning about search engine optimization
- I have been viewed by people in 114 countries some I didn’t know existed
- I am learning to fix things on my blog
- I am becoming more comfortable using my experiences as a basis for my writing in a public forum
- I have learnt to never assume anything and to make my writing clear
- Over the 12 months I have had 12, 567 views and have 415 followers
- I have learnt that visiting other blogs is as important as writing a post
- I have enjoyed several Blogging University courses and learnt a lot from them
- The A -Z April Blogging Challenge really tested me but I was excited to join it and complete all posts
- I now notice fun blog ideas and can gather the information ahead of time
- My audience continues to grow as I learn about traffic flow
- Blogging events help us to interact
- I have developed and understand my online voice and how it connects with others
- I have learned about many new cultures, people, places and things
- Finding peace in the blogging community
- I have developed confidence with my writing through feedback from others
- Learnt to use photos to enhance my posts
- I enjoy writing and designing quotes using Picmonkey
- I have learnt perseverance—it takes time to find your community blogging
- Never give up, keep chipping away at it
- Some things you can’t control and who how many people visit your blog is one of them
Thank you for joining me on my journey and I hope we continue to interact over the years to come in the blogosphere. My first ever post on Mother’s Day is here

Well done and Congratulations! 🙂
Thank you
Happy blogiversary! I’m a little way behind you (my blog is only five months old) but have also learned many things. I have particularly enjoyed hearing from people from all over the world.
Yes blogging really makes the world a much smaller place which is very exciting
I am just so amazed that I can meet people all over the world. It’s just incredible.
Yes I didn’t understand the power of blogging until I started to do it. Everyone has a fun and unique story
Happy Blogiversary!
