Things I’ve Got To Try
Sometimes you have to speak things in existence so here are a few things on the bucket list that I would love to see happen in the next few months! #SpeakItIntoReality
I REALLY want to go to WordCamp US in Nashville, TN. I was actually just in Nashville, TN over the summer for a family reunion and it was a beautiful vibrant city that I would love to explore more of. I started blogging on Tumblr 6 years ago (as of about a week ago) and I quickly learned that WordPress is where it’s at and I started a site there and really got down to business. I now have two websites (this one and DCFunemployment) and will say that wordpress played a MAJOR part in something that’s truly changed my life for the better in so many ways. I have made incredible new friends, experienced awesome opportunities and shared the stories of incredible women! It has been an amazing journey and I can’t wait to see where it goes from here but I could also use some helping making the best of all my tools. (Please note: I received an entry into the Bluehost WordCamp US Giveaway, just for writing this post, yall know I love a contest!)
