My 100th Blog!

Wow! I cannot believe this is my 100th blog. I am super excited to have come this far. I started blogging on October 2018 but would only post about once a month. I became consistent this past January. This is a place to share my ideas, things I love to do and express myself. I am learning new things everyday. Practice makes perfect and it takes time. Patience and consistency are very important. I treat this like my job and make sure to blog a few blogs every week and eventually work my way up. The easy part is that I enjoy blogging very much. Nothing is ever easy. Work hard and it will pay off! I can’t wait to see where I am a year from now with my blog!

This blog is a fun one therefore, let’s get started!
