Six Years

sixyears

Six years. Who would have thought that this little blog I started on a whim six years ago would still be going strong today. Technically my bloggiversary was 11/11 but I missed blogging on that day so here we are.

I remember being soooooo nervous when I hit publish on that first blog post and looking back on some of my older posts today make me cringe. HAHAHA!! You haven’t blogged long enough if you can’t look back at your older posts and complain about your writing or photography skills. Just saying.

I started this blog as a personal journal with the hopes of meeting some new people and it has grown into so much more than that in my six years of blogging. I have made some of my very best friends, chronicled my life, built a house, gotten a puppy, gone back to school and graduated with a degree in E-Commerce,  gone to some amazing blog conferences, had the chance to work with some amazing companies, gone on some amazing vacations and am just happy. And I have all of my memories here forever to always go back and look at. You can’t get any better than that.

I have always written something about my blogging anniversary and I think it’s fun to go back and read those and see what I wrote in previous years so here they are for better or for worse…

  • Five Years | 2015
  • Four Years | 2014
  • Three Years | 2013 – can’t find???
  • Two Years | 2012
  • One Year | 2011

In the next year I just want to grow. I want to grow as both a blogger and as a person. I want to really find myself. Sometimes I feel like I finally have it figured out and then life is like nahhh…just kidding. Know what I mean? I want to travel more. I want to downsize and live more minimally. I want to try out a capsule wardrobe. I want to get rid of the excess. I want to live a healthier lifestyle. I want to be a better person.

I have a lot to work on in the next year and a lot to look forward to. To the next year, cheers!!

Happy Six Years to me!!

How long have you blogged??
What made you start blogging??

    Congratulations and I wish you so much success with your new goals! Blogging has changed my life, for the better for sure. It’s made me feel more confident and allowed me to believe in myself so much more than I used to. it’s also showed me how to have patience and that I have to work really hard to get what I want. It’s been a journey for sure!

    Happy 6th bloggiversary, Ricci! I hear you about looking back and cringing at those early posts and photos! If I only had time to go back and fix them – lol. I haven’t been blogging as long as you (I started January 2013) but I love it too. And I love how your posts are always fun and uplifting. You rock!

    Congratulations on your 6 year blogging anniversary, and wishes for many more for you!

    What a fun, fulfilling journey you’ve shared of your blog blossoming in to something far more than you’d anticipated. You seem to have a lot of goals for the future too, which will lead to even more posts to share of your life and blog journey — as a newbie, find it all so encouraging.

    Congratulations again on the previous 6 years, and best wishes for all that awaits you in the years ahead.

    Congratulations on six years of blogging. That’s quite a milestone. It’s amazing how much fun blogging can be, but it’s also a tremendous amount of work to treat it like a business.

    Congratulations! I have been blogging since 2011, and I love that I have pretty much full control over it. There really is nothing like it, for me. I have always wanted to be my own boss, and with blogging the sky’s the limit!

    Happy Six Years to you, that is a solid time in the game. I’ve been blogging for six years as well but I didn’t take it seriously until 3 years in. Enjoy the ride, looks like you are enjoying it.
