It's My Blogiversary!!

HAPPY BLOGIVERSARY TO MEEEEEE!

On April 4, 2005, studio635 was born and set me off in a direction that won't be changing anytime soon (see first post). Life in the blogosphere has been quite a ride—much more up than down. It's given me a sense of purpose I never had, and a few new friends to go along with it. It's improved my writing, I read a lot more, and has allowed me to put all my skills and abilities to use in this wonderful environment. I've also been able to help others get their message out, which is an added bonus.


During the course of this year I've created 6 blogs (yes, 6) which have all been gratifying and satisfying, but my shining hour came with the development of The New Media Collective. It's only been 2 months, but it's already having an impact. A few days ago I was actually invited to speak on a panel at the BlogHer conference in California in July to talk about it. Unreal! I never saw myself as a public speaker, but life seems to have other plans for me. Speaking of which, I also have a job interview today at the public access station here in NYC, which also came about through one of my vlogger buds (thanks Jay).

All I can say is that blogging's been very, very good to me this year, and the way it looks right now, it can only get better (once the money comes).

How close is San Jose? Or even San Francisco. That's where Vloggercon is in June. Not sure if I'll get there, but I'll sure as hell try. Will definitely stay in touch.

I think the interview went well, but I'm still praying. :-)

Hey Mel,

Well, I'm like 6 hours (driving) south of that. Crap. That's pretty far. But we do have PANDAS and SEA WORLD as well as Me! LoL! ;)

I've got a prayer out there for ya, too!
