Today is the anniversary of this blog. I am very proud of my accomplishment. One year ago, I set out to give the people in my network some additional exposure for their business. I have succeeded. After all, everything is about business. It may be wrapped in different types of intangible garments, but still about business.

I’ve been entertaining the idea of starting a personal blog, but I don’t think it will happen soon. I already spend way too much time pounding on my keyboard. Also, with warmer weather fast approaching, I’ll probably be riding my bike more and hiking in the mountains more. There’ll be less time for blogging, but I promise to do my best to keep this particular space updated.

Once upon a time, technology boasted that it would speed up the way we do things so we could have more time for the people and things we love. To date, I seem to have less time to do the things I’d rather be doing. So, as I move forward, I’m promising myself to take more control of my time and honor my own existence more. It’s time for me to be a little selfish…yes.

The people I’d like to thank who have given me so much inspiration over the past year are too many to name. I’ve enjoyed photos, tennis, and poetry - videos, recipes, a few rants, and jokes. But most of all, I’ve enjoyed making friends with people around the world. Thanks for extending your hand of friendship. Your blog visits and emails are always welcomed and appreciated.

How shall I celebrate? At the moment, I’m not quite sure. Maybe I’ll go out and find a cupcake that matches the stock photo. Cheers to me.
