Whew! Maintaining a personal blog challenge is like running a marathon.
Last week I crossed the finish line in my first ever Blogging from A to Z Challenge--and
it feels great. I kept a steady pace, didn't skip any of the 26 miles,
er, letters in my path and learned a lot along the journey.
1. People genuinely do care about nutrition and question what's on their plates. My passion is not falling on deaf ears!
2. Maintaining a daily blog is more than just tapping out a few paragraphs of insights. There are comments to approve, read and reply to. There are photos to snap or find. And, of course there's research (read: cook, bake, shop!) to create informative, honest posts.
3. I learned a lot from my readers and the blogs I visited during the challenge! I have a list of new blogs to peruse, books to read and recipes to try. Thank you!
4. Blogging won't make you rich. I maintain Whole Foods Living because it's my day-to-day life speaking. I write about what I encounter during my ongoing healthy eating transition. The ad revenue from this blog challenge will probably buy me a watermelon at the farmer's market or maybe another bag of organic quinoa. Yum!
5. People will blog about anything! While visiting other blogs in the challenge I met other foodies, learned about children's books, death rituals, tourist spots in Paris, how much I need a beach vacation and the antics of young children!
Until Next Time,
Choose Healthy!
