This Month I am celebrating my 2nd year blogging under Chronicles of Sarita! I can't believe that I have actually written 424 posts, not including this one...it is definitely quite an accomplishment for me!
(07/2012)
I have also learned a lot while on this blogging adventure...
-have fun doing what you love, making it into a job will only drain you
-the importance of journaling, I am able to express myself better
-the importance of capturing little moments with the camera, not just the big ones; in the end they will matter just as much
-reconnecting with family, blood related or not, makes the world go round. embracing the life around you is what is important while remembering those who have passed.
-always keep positive & be happy with yourself. no one can bring you down unless you are the one letting them.
-new techniques are not scary, just do it and you will fall in love with the new!
-my fellow blogging peeps are amazing and I just love the supportive comments left on my posts. I welcome opinions and suggestions with open arms. the friendships I have made are irreplaceable, online and offline.
To say thank you to all my supporters and followers of this blog, of course I am having a giveaway!!!!! There will be 2 lucky winners...
the first winner will receive a $25.00 Gift Card
