Happy Birthday to.....


My Blog!

I know that I've already mentioned my 100th post, but I can't believe that I've been writing this blog for a year as of today. I'm still not sure what I want this blog to be, but I do know that I love doing this. It's my happy place in a year that has often been a little trying for me (Don't worry. It's all First World problem stuff. Like I said, health and family are cool, and that is what truly matters). I've gotten some nice opportunities and "met" some people with whom I share some interests and that has been really rewarding.

If you can't tell, I really do enjoy sharing the things I experience with you all. I am so very appreciative that you take the time to read the blog given the fact that we are bombarded in our daily lives with so much content.

I know in the past that I've been disappointed with certain aspects of my blogging experience. I still have my blogging insecurities (i.e., no one reads; no one cares; my pics are crappy; my posts are too long...HEE! :)), but I'm slowly letting go of all of that. Part of me thinks that I should write about other things (my most commented post in the past year has nothing to do with food or travel), but then I wouldn't be true to whom I am and what I hope to convey. If anything, I hope I have inspired at least one person to move beyond what they know and experience every day to search out new foods, cultures and people. Life is an adventure, and I don't believe you need to necessarily fly half way around the world to learn that. Seeking out the things that make life fun and exciting should be an integral part of how we live our lives.

Anyway, here's to another year (or more!). Thanks for joining me!

Stopping by to say congrats again. We all have insecurities when it comes to sharing on our sites, but hey! That's what makes it fun...getting over those insecurities that is. Much success as you continue to knock down your's with your blog!

Happy birthday to your blog! I'm so glad to have had the opportunity to have "met" you online- I'll be in NYC at the beginning of August so hopefully we can meet in real life and you can show me what makes NYC so awesome! :-)

This is my first post, but I have been following you for a long time. I just want to say, I thoroughly enjoy reading your posts, especially your posts on travel. I think your pictures and details are great!! Please don't think otherwise. I know I need to do a better job at posting, but I just wanted you to know I think you are awesome, and keep it up!!
