Chasing Joy

The Joy of Women Getting Social, My SITS Day

|

Me at Bloggy Boot Camp Philly 2012

Yay! Yay!  Today is my day, My SITS Day!!!

A lot of you bloggers will no what that means.  For those of you who don’t know, MY SITS Day means I am being featured on The SITS Girls site , Where Women Get Social.  The SITS Girls is a community of over 40,000 women bloggers networking and becoming better bloggers together.  The SITS girls share connections to brands, tremendous amounts of knowledge, and bring bloggers together in person for Bloggy Boot Camp.

So now you understand why I am so hype!!!  It’s my day!

If this is your very first time at Chasing Joy, welcome.  Let me tell you a little about myself.  I am single girl in her early thirties  (I think I can claim early thirties for at least another year).  I am not yet a mom but hope to be one, one day.  I work full time and blog as much as I can (whenever I’m awake and not at the day job).

I started blogging about 3 years ago after my dad passed away.  I was having a hard time emotionally and wanted to find my way back to being my normal happy self.  Around this same time two of my friends started the blogs Belly Aches & Belly Laughs and Big Diva Headquarters.  After reading there blogs I though I can do that.  I have always liked to write but could never find the right topic to stick with.  I figured the short essay format of blogging would be perfect.  All signs pointed to go when I thought to myself, maybe if I write about happiness I might find my way back to being happy.  Thus I started Chasing Joy, and it worked!

On Chasing Joy I write about my life and my pursuit of happiness.  This includes the ups and downs of dating, having better friendships, setting goals, and trying new things.  On the Chasing Joy Facebook Page and on twitter we set goals on Make it Happen Monday, Encourage each other on Way to Go Wednesday, and we practice and attitude of gratitude on Thankful Thursdays. So make sure you “like” me on Facebook and follow me @Chasing_Joy on twitter so you can join in the fun.  Every Friday on Chasing Joy we revisit our older blog posts on the #FlashbackFriday Link up!  I also make an effort to connect with you readers in person by attending conferences, hosting charity events, and bringing Joy minded people together for Lunch & Learns.

I really appreciate you stopping by on My Day!  I’m supper psyched about getting to know all of my new bloggy friends from SITS.  I hope you will visit often.  Here are a few of my most popular posts:

  20. Happy SITS Day. This is my first time visiting. I love your blog. I started blogging to journal as I deal with stuff. Life. I have found it a great way to get things off my chest and to share some things I am doing. I don't think I would give it up even if no one ever read it. I love to look back at where I was in the past so I love your Flashback Friday. I will be participating.

  22. Congrats on SITS day! Loving the name of your blog and the whole concept. You already have my mind going about chasing joy in my own life.

    Cute & fresh web design too. Very Welcoming.

  23. Congrats on your SITS Day! I love the name of your blog. I am currently "chasing joy" in my friendships. Because we've moved a lot, it has been hard to stay close to friends. One day I'm hoping for a close-knit group of girlfriends where we can laugh, cry (yet not judge) and find joy together! 🙂

  26. Happy Happy SITS Day!! Love your blog. Glad starting your blog was able to help you deal with the loss of your dad. looking forward to reading more.
