Well, I am impressed with myself - 30 days of blogs. I didn't think I'd stick to it, but I did, and I'm glad. It was fun, and now I'm sort of sad that I don't have "pre-thought out" topics to write about every day anymore. Now, you'll just have to read about my boring everyday life, huh? :)
Anyway, I definitely have some ways that I believe I have grown in the last 30 days:
1.) I have progressed in Taekwondo. I started in August, and I am only a few weeks away from testing for my orange belt - go me!!! I love it!
2.) I actually like to write. I have always been pretty good at writing, and even won some awards in college, but I never found it to be much fun then. Now that I am older and don't have to write for a grade, I enjoy writing to capture thoughts, dreams, memories, etc. It is relaxing.
3.) People are really interesting. I feel like I have made many friends during the course of this 30 day challenge. I have found numerous bloggers and have sort of immersed myself in their blogs. I enjoy reading about other people, and I am inspired by what many of them say.
4.) I realize how recording my thoughts is therapeutic when I'm having a tough day, and I really want to focus on putting my words and stories into my scrapbook pages more. Journaling is such a huge part of recording the memories.
5.) The blogging world is huge, and there is a blog about almost anything you can think of.
I did want to share some of the really neat blogs that I have added to my blogroll over the course of the last 30 days:
(She's only 17, and has made up lots of recipes from scratch, won awards, and is very creative in the kitchen.)
Scrap & Design inspiration - I love the photo challenges.
More crafty stuff - this blog has some really cute ideas.
Yo-Yo dieter gone vegan and healthy. Her story is inspiring, and her attitude about beauty and having a healthy lifestyle are great too. The recipes are really yummy looking as well. (Thanks Alison for this one!)
Another photo/journal type blog. I love reading about how the everyday, mundane type things can be so exciting if you have the right perspective.
Anyway, I have thoroughly enjoyed this challenge, and I'm looking for more. I want to write regularly, and I'm afraid I won't be able to come up with cool topics on my own. Any other ideas for this?
Anyone else have some more neat blogs to add to my blogroll?
Happy Blogging!
-Michelle
