10 Years and Counting

Exactly 10 years ago, I started my blogging journey and I never imagine that I will hit my tenth blogging anniversary. Blogging is my “me-time and until now even I’m busy with other things, I still try to find time to update my blog”. Last year, I got derailed but this year, I miss blogging so I unplugged myself with client work to give time to my first love which is blogging and crafting.

Even though my blog and social media accounts have few followers, I continue blogging because I didn’t start my blog for fame but for myself. Even I have an audience of ONE which is myself, I still go on. Blogging is my creative outlet to keep my mind and life productive. 

I love seeing and reading my old blog posts because it is a testament to my improvement as a wife, mother, and person. I discovered how my hobby changed from cooking to baking, sewing, crocheting, designing, and now crafting with my Cricut Maker. I witnessed how my body size keeps on growing as the years go by because of food trips. Slowly, I'm crossing out my bucket list and the list goes on.

Today, I’m celebrating my ten years milestone and as of this writing, I have 1,640 blog posts and 8,167,086 pageviews. If you have stumbled on my blog, thank you for being part of my 8 million views. Sharing some of my favorites quotes that keep me going and doing what I do. 

“Do whatever it takes to make your soul happy” 

“Do it for you, so that you can look back and feel proud of yourself for everything you’ve done”

“Allow yourself to be proud of yourself and all the progress you’ve made. Especially the progress that no one else has seen” 

“You belong in the world - there is space that you can fill. This life would not be the same without you because there are beauty and magic that no one else but you can create” p.bodi 

“My worth is not determined by how other people view me. My worth is determined by how I view myself” - April Green 

“I began to realize how important it was to be an enthusiast in life. If you are interested in something, no matter what it is, go at it full speed. Embrace it with both arms, hug it, love it, and above all become passionate about it. Lukewarm is no good. - Roald Dahl 

“I’m not good at everything, I just do my best at everything” 

“My goal is not to be better than anyone else but to be better than I used to be” Wayne Dyer 

“I’m not where I want to be, but I’m proud that I’m not where I used to be - Lucia Litman

“Self-love, this is exactly where happiness starts” - Camille Benitah

When in doubt, always remember why you started and why you do what you do.
