Wow…what a year it has been! Two years ago I swallowed hard and hit publish on my first ever post, aptly titled, I should Start a Blog. My goal right from the start was to blog for a year, see what the response was, and then make a decision on next steps. After reflecting on …
The countdown is on to one of my favorite fall events. Is it weird to call a conference a “favorite event”? 😉 Blogjam 2017 is almost here and I couldn’t be more excited! Back in 2015 when Blogjam was getting ready to host their first ever conference, I had been working away on setting up …
