I received a notice from WordPress this afternoon –
I can’t believe I’ve been writing here for a year already…and you know how I like to celebrate milestones. 🙂 As writers we need to enjoy the crossing of thresholds, the overcoming of obstacles, both big and small, and the one year anniversary of my blog is definitely a milestone. I feel I should honor it and all of you by doing something special, but I’m not sure what would be appropriate.
First off, I suppose a big
is in order! When I chose to start this blog, I was looking to create a platform for Rachael the writer – it’s grown into much more than that.
I love this space! The encouragement I receive here makes me want to be more, to do more. I’ve grown as a writer. I’ve made friends here. Found support here. This blog makes me write when I don’t feel like writing anything at all.
I can share my passions aside from writing. I can geek out. I can reflect.
And through this space I continue to learn, be inspired, and find new interests. So thank you to all of you for your continued hard work and passion!
So as I reflect on the passing of this last year, I turn a hopeful eye to the future and the changes that are coming. Thank you for joining me on this journey and I look forward to continuing to share it with all of you!
Best wishes to you, my friends!
xx, Rach
Congratulations.

That’s a great milestone! So few of us get past the first month of a New Year resolution, so it’s quite an accomplishment. I hope you continue many more years. Are you a better writer for doing this? Just curious.

Thank you! This is the best diary keeping I’ve ever done. 😉 “They” always say that everything gets better with practice, and I think that writing here, nearly everyday, is some of the best practice I’ve had. I recently mentioned how I think my voice has been honed, so definitely, I think this has made my writing better.
