A few weeks ago I received a tweet from The Mrs. The Mommy. The MD. letting me know I was one of the winners in her Where’s the Beef give away. This week I recieved my prize which included an apron, The Healthy Beef Cookbook, and cookbook holder with splatter guard, and assorted I love beef stickers and ballons. I love the look of the apron and can’t wait to start the beef receipes.
It is so exciting to win something. This whole blogging thing is starting to be pretty cool. I never would have won my awesome apron and cookbook if I’d have not started visiting other bloggers. I’d have never even know about The Mrs. The Mommy. The MD. if I’d not started Chasing Joy.
Chasing Joy has lead me to some awesome experiences, places, and people. As a direct result of Chasing Joy I have:
- taken ballet
- completed a 5k as a runner
- visited Bermuda
- dyed my hair red
- entered a plus sized beauty contest (made the top 10)
- had a volunteer experience
- I received the Versatile Blogger award from another blogger
- I developed a true friendship with a girl I went to high school with directly because of her comments and support on Chasing Joy.
- I have partnered with another friend to help market her business with a giveaway.
- And now I also have an awesome apron and some new healthy receipes to try out.
Gotta Love Chasing Joy!!!
What awesome things have happened to you since you started writing a blog or other wise following your dreams or goals? What good has come from you Chasing Joy???
I love your new apron. I agree visiting other bloggers completely changes the blogging experience. And look how much more you've accomplished since writing this post!
I agree tht you definitely WIN with blogging in so many ways, it is very rewarding! While I dont eat beef, I love to cook and would have loved to win an apron and cookbook!
—Yes, all of the connections one makes thru blogging. I love all the people I've met…and even talk regulary to some over the phone! xx
Great topic! Since I started blogging I have connected to so many awesome people. I think I am happier because I have an outlet. I have always enjoying writing so this is perfect. I also find great products to buy (not sure if that is good or bad….lol).
I've meet a lot of cool people through my blog and Twitter, and learned about branding, social media and how "moms" come into play in promoting companies. (And I'm totally not that kind of blogger!) The biggest benefit to blogging is that I've learned about myself and that we are never alone in our journeys. It has really helped me to grow.
It looks like you were lying in wait for "Chasing Joy" and the world of possibilities and experiences it has provided you with! Fantastic! Blogging has allowed me to meet so many wonderful people! I'm still in awe of how we're able to connect and bond with virtual strangers through our writing, and how with time, they turn into a great source of support. I love it!
I love all the new people I've met through blogging!
Wow….that is great! Since I started blogging I never knew where it would take me. I have been so relaxed, beyond positive, people actually like it, my blog has been nominated, I have been asked to have my blog featured on 3 different sites, learned many things about people that I never knew, I have been motivated by you and I thank you for your continued supported….ok this is really gonna make me cry. This its such a touchingexperience and because of Chasing Joy I am now Positively Shining!
