Unfortunately from being sick, I did miss my 1 year blog anniversary! However, this post ending up coming at a perfect time. Thanksgiving is this Thursday, and when I initially thought about putting together my blog anniversary post, I knew I wanted to talk about how thankful I was for everything that has transpired because of it.
There is so much to be thankful for, as there were many opportunities that came my way! First there was the Street Style feature in Essence Magazine, which was so cool! Essence is one of my favorite magazines, and to actually be in it was so thrilling! Then there was the Interview Feature by Style Pantry. I am a big fan of Folake, and was so honored to be featured by her! Being a new blogger can be intimidating, as there are so many of us out there! But ever since I started this blog, I’ve been shown nothing but positivity and light! And I’m so thankful for that!!
I’ve actually recently been featured by another one of my favorite bloggers, Neil Alvin of Black Girls Killing it. You can check out the feature here.
Besides being featured, you lovely people who read my blog, interact with me via commenting on this blog or on my Facebook Page, Chictopia, or Youtube channel… You guys who re-blog my posts on tumblr, or hold conversations with me on twitter have been such an inspiration! You are literally the reason why I even blog! Without you guys, I wouldn’t have had the drive or sustainability to continue on this journey! You guys have even inspired me to kick off my youtube page again! I am creative creature, and I enjoy expressing my interests and life with you guys! Thanks for making me feel comfortable doing so!
You all have provided so much support and love, and have built around me a community of great people. From all of this, the most important thing I have learned is that being yourself is truly enough.
I’m looking forward to spending time with my family this week, and overall reflecting on the blessings in my life.
Happy Thanksgiving!
