A LOOONG Story to Get Us Started!
At 32 years old, I fall into that rare in-between category of being one of the last age groups to remember what it was like not having a computer in the home and being the age group that would help technology boom and take over the world. I was fortunate enough to be in an elementary school that had a few PC's per classroom and blessed enough to have a 1st grade teacher that knew the value of learning how to type. By the time I actually took a typing class in high school, I was already a pro and doing a lot of the other students' classwork in a fraction of time.
During my grade schooling from elementary school to high school, I was often regarded as one of the proficient writers in my class. I don't share this to brag, but only to demonstrate that I truly believe writing is something many are born with an ability to do. In college, my analytical side chose to pursue Psychology, but my creative side was still restless. Even though Psychology was my Major, I sought out writing and Journalism classes, became the Assistant Editor on the campus newspaper and snagged a paid writing job with the Media Relations office on campus.
I remember being absolutely fascinated with Carrie Bradshaw from Sex and the City. I loved the story and the other characters, but I really loved that she was a writer and just how glamorous that sounded (even though I realize writing is rarely glamorous). It was during college that I discovered blogging for the first time. I remember Facebook was just getting footing and was still only open to college students and blogging was only a way to record your diary and share it with the world. I started my first blog that Senior year of college. I think I published 2 posts. If you asks me now I would have no idea how to even get back to those posts, but I'm sure they live on the internet somewhere.
I picked up blogging again in my late twenties after being a long-time reader of several other blogs. I blogged at this Wordpress site for a couple of years on and off, but ultimately I have decided to make my home here on Bloom Nutrition.
All this to say, I want this to be the start of something great. I was inspired after reading Pinch of Yum's blog business reports and learning the possibilities. I further have branched out into their The Foodie Blogger Podcast, and have found that even more helpful. I'm sure there are others out there that would enjoy something much the same, so this will make the start of MY journey into intentional steps in building an online business. So here goes...
