August is a month of celebration for me. Ten years ago, this month, I turned a random thought into action and started a blog.

I would be in a different place if I didn’t have others tell me, “Grow, girl, grow.”

My blogging journey has been one of resilience, being open to change, and embracing the powering of digital. The journey hasn’t been easy, and I am so grateful to those who have been there along the way. Most of all, it has been a journey of self-discovery and learning my inner strength. As I finish one chapter and enter another, I wanted to do a short recap of the last ten years.

If you had to write the title of your autobiography, what would it be?

Mine would be, “She didn’t give up.”

I texted a good friend of mine recently to tell her about my new career move. She said, “I knew it was just a matter of time. You didn’t give up.” I truly believe that with a supportive community and a growth mindset, you can achieve your dreams. Or, the path can lead to opportunities that far surpass your goals. Keep believing, my friends. Hold on to hope.
