Attention bloggers! This one is for YOU!
I love women (and bloggers) that respect and support each other, and motivate and inspire each other. I like women who are not only happy for their own success, but who are also genuinely happy for the success, hard work and accomplishments of others. These are the type of women I want to surround myself with. The type of women I want to learn from, grow with and find friendships with.
A few months ago, I was chatting with a friend about that I desperately wanted to make blogging more of a career focus. While I have professional experience in business writing, it lacks creativity and personal enjoyment, and it’s not really where I want to focus my efforts. What I want is to be creative, to be myself and to reach a lot of people while doing it. She connected me with a friend of hers that is a successful blogger, and who has written about how to make money from your personal blog. Another friend of mine with a successful writing career also shared with me some advice and a few suggestions. So, after a little networking, A LOT of hard work and research, and tons of support from my husband, I’m finally finding some success and opportunities in blogging. Something I have dreamed about for four years, but never put my first foot forward. The help of my two friends, and the birth of my daughter and strong desire to stay home with her while still having some sort of career and keeping my skills fresh truly inspired me. Basically, it lit a spark under my tuckus!
So, where do YOU guys come in? It’s simple. I want to “pay it forward” for all the love, support and wonderful opportunities I have been receiving from my blog. I want to help support other friends and bloggers that are also striving to gain a little more recognition with their writing. So starting today, I’m doing a “Blog Feature Friday” in effort to help some of the other amazing women and writers out there. This means for the next few Friday, I will feature and share a blog in the hopes it will help gain new followers and opportunities for the writer behind it.
Today I’m excited to feature Tricia Adams, a long time friend and new-ish blogger. Tricia is a wife and stay-at-home mother of two absolutely adorable kids. Her blog is dedicated to sharing her own homemade healthy recipes and homemade eco-friendly products.
A little something extra about Tricia – two months ago, she shaved her head to show a four year old girl who is battling cancer that bald is definitely beautiful, and when I asked Tricia about it she said, “I’ve never felt prettier:)” She has shaved her head twice now in support of this little girl – a beautiful and heartfelt gesture. I don’t know many people who have the(I don’t know how else to put this) balls to do that! Myself included!
Please check out Tricia’s blog, EcoWonderment and “like” her on Facebook to stay up-to-date with her latest posts and recipes.
For an opportunity to be a part of my “Blog Feature Friday” and gain some extra love and publicity, simply “like” my Facebook page (I will like yours back), send me a direct message with the link to your blog and I’ll choose a Friday to share it.
Happy Friday and don’t forget to share the blog love and support!
